Sunderland vs Fulham: Lineups, Predictions & Betting Tips

Premier League Preview: Sunderland vs Fulham

The Stadium of Light is set to host an intriguing matchup between Sunderland and Fulham on Sunday, February 22,2026, at 14:00 GMT. Recent form suggests that Sunderland has the upper hand, but Fulham's past performances against their hosts indicate they should not be underestimated.

Sunderland's strong home record and current run of form make them favorites to win. However, a review of past head-to-head results reveals that Fulham has been a challenging opponent for Sunderland. Notably, their 2015-11-22 Premier League encounter where Fulham secured a narrow 1-0 victory and the more recent FA Cup ties between the two sides in which Fulham emerged with a win and a draw.

The Cottagers have shown resilience away from home, but their ability to break down Sunderland's defense will be pivotal. Sunderland's recent goal-scoring form at home presents a challenge for Fulham to keep their goals conceded in check and secure a result.

Given the history between both teams, predictions point towards a home win or potentially a draw. Fulham will aim to defy the odds and recent form to claim an away victory. But based on current outlook, Sunderland appears more likely to secure the three points at home especially considering their strong recent performances and Fulham's mixed away record this campaign.
