Match prediction for Sunderland vs Crystal Palace

The teams Sunderland and Crystal Palace meet at the Stadium of Light in a match in Round 22 of the Premier League. In their last encounter in this competition on September 13, 2025, the final result was a draw (0-0). In this match, the home advantage may play a decisive role, as Crystal Palace has shown different performance levels in home games compared to away games.

Sunderland Analysis

After 7 wins, 9 draws, and 5 losses, the home team is in 10th place with 30 points. In their last match, they lost to Brentford away (3-0), following a previous match that ended in a draw against Tottenham Hotspur (1-1). This team is less affected by home ground advantage, as their results have been similar both at home and away. In their last 30 matches, they recorded 3 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses away from home, scoring 9 goals and conceding 18, while at home they achieved 5 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses, scoring 17 goals and conceding 15. In their last game, they won against Everton in the FA Cup on penalties after a 0-0 draw.

At home, they have not lost in 10 matches. The most common halftime score in their home league matches has been 0-0 (5 in 10 games). Their defensive solidity hasn’t been their strong point, having conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 league matches. In 21 league matches, they have only managed to come back to win after going behind in 3 of the 11 matches where they conceded the first goal. In their last 10 league matches at home, they have particularly struggled in the opening 15 minutes, conceding 3 of their 8 goals during that period.

Sunderland comes into this match after a penalty shootout win against Everton in the FA Cup. Their most recent match in the Premier League saw them lose to Brentford 3-0. Coach Régis de Bris’s team typically plays a 4-3-3 formation, emphasizing quick transitions, particularly down the flanks. Up front, Brian Brobbey, Simon Adingra, and Bertrand Traoré are the key players in attack, while Lutsharel Geertruida provides speed and depth on the right flank. All players are available for this match.

Crystal Palace Analysis

With 7 wins, 7 draws, and 7 losses, the visiting team stands in 13th place with 28 points. In their last match, they drew 0-0 at home against Aston Villa, following a previous loss to Newcastle United (2-0) away. Curiously, this team has proven to be stronger on the road than at home, with 8 wins, 1 draw, and 6 losses in their last 30 away matches, compared to 3 wins, 8 draws, and 4 losses at their home ground. They arrive at this match following a 2-1 loss against Macclesfield in the FA Cup. In the league, Crystal Palace has obtained 16 points from a possible 30, with 5 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses in their last 10 away matches. The most frequent halftime score in their away league matches has been 0-1 (4 in 10 games). Their defensive solidity hasn’t been a strong point either, having conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 league matches. In 21 league matches, they have never managed to come back to win after going behind in the 6 matches where they conceded first. In their last 10 league matches away, two distinct periods stand out: they conceded 4 of their 11 goals in the minutes between 31-45 and another 4 between minutes 76-90.

Crystal Palace comes into this match following a 2-1 loss during their visit to Macclesfield, in the FA Cup. In their latest Premier League match, the visitors drew 0-0 against Aston Villa. The away team is expected to line up in a 3-4-3 formation, focusing on the flanks to quicken the pace of play. Up front, the trio of Jean-Philippe Mateta, Brennan Johnson, and Yéremy Pino is poised to challenge the opposing defense, while Nathaniel Clyne will be a key figure on the right, providing width and depth whenever the team goes on the attack. Out of this game are Chadi Riad and Daichi Kamada due to injuries, as well as Ismaïla Sarr, who is participating in the Africa Cup of Nations.
