Welcome to Extratips, your spot for all things football preview and prediction! Today we turn the spotlight on Fulham versus Sunderland, set for November 22, 2025, at Craven Cottage.

Fulham currently sit 16th in the Premier League with 8 points, while Sunderland are flying higher in 7th place on 17 points. Bookies have Fulham as favorites at 1.73, Draw at 3.50, and Sunderland away win at 4.75. Both teams to score is set at 1.95 for Yes and 1.80 for No, while Over 2.5 goals lands at 2.10.

Recent direct meetings show a real battle, with the last five yielding: Sunderland 2-1 Fulham, Fulham 1-1 Sunderland, Sunderland 1-0 Fulham, Fulham 0-3 Sunderland, and Sunderland 0-0 Fulham. Fulham’s home form has been patchy with 1 win and 4 defeats in their last five at the Cottage, while Sunderland have taken 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss from their last five away trips.

Fulham’s strengths: home goal threat, creativity from midfield, solid possession. Weaknesses: defensive lapses, low conversion rate, heads drop when conceding early. Sunderland excel in fast breaks, set pieces, and teamwork, but struggle defending wide areas, can be overrun in midfield, and lack depth on the bench.

Both teams have minor knocks but main line-ups expected. Fulham might change shape to be more attacking after recent losses, while Sunderland could stick with their tried-and-true 4-2-3-1. Storylines to watch: Fulham’s search for a turning point, Sunderland’s bid to break into top six, and battle of the midfields.

If Fulham’s best strikers show up, the home advantage might tell. But Sunderland have the belief and away form to get a result. It promises high tempo, tight margins, and real Premier League drama!
