Sunderland vs Bournemouth prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-11-28 15:00.
[p]Sunderland and Bournemouth sit level on points in the Premier League and inside the top half, yet recent slumps in form make this fixture potentially crucial if they’re to keep pace with the other European chasers.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Sunderland delivered one of their poorest performances since returning to the Premier League last week, attempting a season-low four shots in a 1-0 defeat to Fulham. While the Black Cats sit seventh and just two points adrift of the top four, a three-match winless run (D2, L1) suggests their top flight honeymoon may be nearing its end. Regis Le Bris’ men will be confident of rediscovering the winning touch at the Stadium of Light where they’re unbeaten in the league this season (W3, D3) after impressively holding leaders Arsenal to a draw in their last home game (2-2).[/p]
[p]A Bournemouth side struggling on their travels therefore face a significant challenge here as they’ve lost four of their last seven top-flight trips (W1, D2) and could lose three successive Premier League away games for the first time in two years here. Despite rallying from two goals down to rescue a 2-2 draw with West Ham at home last week, boss Andoni Iraola was still left frustrated after his side had dominated throughout. The Cherries still sit four points better off than the same stage last term, but with just one win in five matches (D2, L2), their momentum looks to have stalled.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]These sides last met in league action back in 2017, with a 1-0 Bournemouth win on this ground confirming Sunderland’s relegation from the Premier League. The Cherries have lost just once in four Premier League H2Hs (W2, D1).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Sunderland goalkeeper Robin Roefs boasts the best save percentage in the Premier League this season (79.3%), making 16 saves across his last four appearances. Bournemouth’s David Brooks will look to test him, yet no player in the division has attempted more shots than his 19 without scoring this term.[/p]
[p]Sunderland don’t appear to have any fresh injury concerns, while Bournemouth will hope Antoine Semenyo is fit enough to return after missing out last week through an ankle knock.[/p]
