Sunderland's 2025/2026 Premier League Campaign
Sunderland secured a respectable 7th place finish in the Premier League, amassing 54 points from 38 matches. Their record of 14 wins, 12 draws, and 12 losses paints the picture of a team that had competitive spells but also some struggles. They found the net 42 times while conceding 48 goals, resulting in a goal difference of -6.
At home, Sunderland showed more solidity with 9 wins and 6 draws, scoring 25 goals and keeping seven clean sheets. Away from home, their form was less convincing, with 5 wins, 6 draws, and 8 losses, alongside 17 goals scored and 28 conceded. Defensive frailties on the road cost them, but they managed to keep four clean sheets away.
The campaign was marked by a mixture of resilience and inconsistency, finishing just outside the top six. Looking ahead, Sunderland will be keen to build on this platform, addressing their defensive lapses and aiming to convert some of those draws and narrow losses into victories to push further up the table.

Sunderland's 2025/2026 Premier League Form
Sunderland's campaign was a mixed bag, finishing seventh with 54 points from 38 matches. They won 14 games, but just as tellingly, drew 12 and lost 12, showing a tendency to drop points evenly between draws and defeats rather than suffering long losing spells.
Their biggest win streak isn't recorded, suggesting they didn't enjoy a long purple patch, but their results were fairly consistent over the season. Sunderland were stronger at home, securing 9 wins and 7 clean sheets, compared to 5 wins and 4 clean sheets away. While they scored more goals on home turf, they also conceded fewer, highlighting a classic home advantage.
Overall, Sunderland's form was steady rather than spectacular, managing to avoid prolonged slumps but also lacking a sustained run of dominance.

Sunderland's Home Comforts vs. Away Adventures
Sunderland's 2025/2026 Premier League campaign has been a tale of two venues. At home, they've been rather robust, notching 25 goals and conceding just 20, keeping seven clean sheets in the process. This shows a side that feels confident and controlled on familiar turf.
However, their away form tells a different story. With only 17 goals scored and 28 conceded, Sunderland have struggled to keep the opposition at bay, managing just four clean sheets away from home. The contrast highlights a team that can find the net and defend well in front of home fans but tends to leak goals and score less when travelling.
This split suggests Sunderland's challenge lies in translating their home solidity into away performances to climb higher than seventh in the Premier League.
Fipster's Record on Sunderland
Fipster’s track record with Sunderland in the 2025/2026 Premier League campaign is a bit of a mixed bag. Out of six scored predictions, the model managed one star performance but also suffered five misses, with no ticks in between. Clearly, Fipster has had a bit of a wobble when it comes to calling Sunderland’s fortunes this season.
While the model’s insight might not be the most reliable compass for Sunderland’s Premier League adventures yet, it’s still early days to write them off entirely. Perhaps Sunderland’s ups and downs have kept the algorithm on its toes.
