🧠 Match Preview

Sunderland · Home

Sunderland's recent run includes a 3-2 home win over Brentford and a 0-0 home draw with Leeds, but they also failed to score in two of their last five and conceded eight goals across that span. Their latest meeting with Chelsea ended 2-1 in Sunderland's favour at home on 24 May 2026.

Chelsea · Away

Chelsea won three of their last five, scoring ten and conceding four, including a 2-0 home win over Manchester United and a 5-1 home win over Bournemouth. Their recent away form shows a 1-1 draw at Liverpool and a 2-0 win at Everton.

Chelsea's Scoring Edge

Chelsea's recent record of ten goals in five matches contrasts with Sunderland's five, and Chelsea also won the reverse fixture 2-1 at home on 25 Oct 2025. Sunderland's home results are mixed, with the 3-2 win over Brentford followed by a 0-0 draw with Leeds, while Chelsea's away displays include a 2-0 win at Everton. The model gives Chelsea a 43.4% win probability and a 1-2 correct score, so an away victory is a realistic outcome despite Sunderland's 2-1 home win in the latest head-to-head. The evidence supports Chelsea win.
