Our Predictions
Chelsea are strong at home, unbeaten in their last five at Stamford Bridge, and have dominated Sunderland in their last five meetings. Odds of 1.48 show their clear favorite status and recent team form supports another Chelsea victory.
Four of the last five meetings saw at least three goals, and both teams lean towards attack over defense. Over 2.5 at 1.62 offers solid value given Chelsea’s scoring power and Sunderland’s tendency to concede.
Sunderland have scored in four of their last five away games, and Chelsea defended shakily at times even in wins. Odds of 1.80 make this a fair call with Chelsea likely to score first, but Sunderland chasing the game.

Stamford Bridge has been a fortress for the Blues with 4 home wins and 1 draw recently, while Sunderland has struggled away — losing 3, drawing 1, and only one win in five.

Sunderland’s energy and set-piece power are their main tools, though they often leak goals and lack depth. Chelsea’s key striker returns from injury, and Sunderland could miss their captain after a knock last week.
Storylines to watch: Can Sunderland break their Stamford Bridge curse? Will Chelsea’s striker make the difference? And can the Black Cats’ defense hold—as it rarely has before here? All eyes on Stamford Bridge for a tense and entertaining battle.
