Sunderland vs Fulham Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 30th August 2026

Sunderland hope to live up to their early billing as the Premier League title favourites this coming Sunday when they welcome Fulham over to the Stadium of Light for a round 2 match.

A glance at the Premier League table reveals that the current difference between the teams is zero points and two places.

Sunderland endured a disappointing opening game in the new Premier League season which left them stunned without points.

While the hosts will battle for their first points of the season this coming Sunday, Fulham will aim to handle the upcoming game in a similar trend as their opening match of the season.

Sunderland are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady 13 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.3 per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents 16 goals, or an average of 1.6 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to two clean sheets in this run.

Fulham are currently not the most scoring team in the Premier League, as they only found the back of the net nine times in ten matches. This is an average of just 0.9 goals a game in which they conceded 11 times, an average of 1.1 per game. They managed four clean sheets in these.

Fulham won 3-1 and 1-0 in the two most recent meetings with Sunderland, and go into their upcoming match with a psychological advantage.

Sunderland vs Fulham Prediction

Sunderland Form

In their last three matches, Sunderland beat Everton by 1-3 and Chelsea by 2-1, before losing against Ipswich by 2-1. Sunderland only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Premier League matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew one and lost three, as they scored four and conceded ten goals.

Fulham Form

Two victories are what Fulham have to show from their past three matches, as they first beat Newcastle 2-0. This was followed by a 2-3 defeat against Chelsea, before winning again 3-0 against AFC Wimbledon. Fulham claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Premier League. They also drew three and were defeated two times, as they were outscored by seven goals to four.

Fulham and Sunderland seem to find it tough getting their defensively lines in order, as they both concede too many goals. We hope the trend continues this coming Sunday, as we aim for both teams to score.
