Premier League 2025/26 Season Stats
“Sunderland have become the hardest team to beat in the Premier League, sitting 8th largely because they refuse to lose at home. They have drawn 9 of their 20 games, often in low-scoring grinds. With 70% of their matches going Under 2.5 Goals, they are the ‘unders’ bettor’s dream. Don’t expect fireworks, but backing the Draw or Sunderland Double Chance at home is incredibly consistent.”
Tyler Morris, Senior Football AnalystSunderland Betting Guide: The Defensive Grinders
Sunderland’s 2025/26 season is defined by resilience. They have scored just 21 goals but conceded only 19, boasting one of the tightest defenses in the division. Their “Strength” is listed as Protecting the Lead, which explains their ability to close out tight games.
The ‘Draw’ Trend & Low Goals
The stats point to very specific betting angles:
- The Stalemate Kings: A massive 45% of Sunderland’s games end in a Draw. This includes recent 0-0s against Man City and Brighton.
- Away Unders: On the road, 80% of Sunderland matches have finished with Under 2.5 Goals. They park the bus effectively.
- Goals Spread Out: They lack a prolific striker; Wilson Isidor is top scorer with just 4 goals. Avoid backing individual goalscorers and stick to team markets.
“Sunderland travel to Brentford next (Jan 7). This is a clash of styles: Brentford’s high-octane attack vs Sunderland’s low block. While Brentford score plenty, Sunderland have only conceded 11 goals in 10 away games. I’m looking at Granit Xhaka in the player props; he has 5 assists and 4 cards, making him involved in everything.”
— Steve Harrington, EFL & PL ExpertPlayer Props: The Value List

Upcoming Fixtures Analysis
Sunderland face Brentford (Jan 7) followed by Everton (Jan 10). The Brentford game is tricky, but the Everton match at home is a prime opportunity to back the “Sunderland Win or Draw” double chance, given their unbeaten home record.
