Sunderland vs Chelsea Prediction

Sunderland host Chelsea on 8 November 2026 at 17:00 in the Premier League's tenth round. The Stadium of Light will be the battleground between a side fighting relegation and a team firmly in the Champions League places. Chelsea sit fourth; Sunderland occupy last position. The visitors' squad value stands at 1.015 billion euros against Sunderland's 458.5 million.

Form and H2H

Sunderland lost 0:2 at home to Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League on Thursday, fielding a reserve side. In the Premier League, they have scored just once in their last four matches and sit bottom of the table. At the Stadium of Light in the league, Sunderland have scored no more than one goal in nine of their last ten home matches. Their average expected goals over the last ten league games stands at 1.50.

Chelsea beat Manchester United 2:0 last weekend and have scored more than 1.5 goals in each of their last ten matches across all competitions. In eight of their last ten away league games, Chelsea have scored more than 2.5 goals. Their average output is 2.1 goals per game, the third-best in the division. However, Chelsea's defence has grown fragile. In their last ten league matches, they have conceded an average of 1.7 goals per game.

Best Bet

Sunderland under 1.5 goals. The hosts have managed more than one goal at home in just one of their last ten league matches. Regis Le Bri's squad is stretched thin across the Europa League and the league, and they face a Chelsea side that kept a clean sheet against Manchester United. At 1xBet, Sunderland under 1.5 goals can be backed at competitive odds.

Odds to Watch

Chelsea are clear favourites at 1.97 with 1xBet and 22Bet. Sunderland and the draw are priced identically at 3.78 with 1xBet and 22Bet, or 3.73 with Mostbet. Over 2.5 goals sits at 1.80, suggesting the market leans toward a low-scoring affair despite Chelsea's attacking prowess and Sunderland's defensive vulnerabilities.
