Sunderland vs Burnley Preview

Sunderland host Burnley at the Stadium of Light on Monday evening in a Premier League encounter that sees both sides searching for improved consistency. The head-to-head record favours Burnley, who have won two of the last five meetings, with two draws and one Sunderland victory between them.

Sunderland enter this fixture in mixed form. Their most recent outing saw them suffer a 3-1 defeat away at West Ham United in the Premier League. Prior to that, they secured a 2-1 home victory over Crystal Palace in the league and won 1-1 away at Everton in the FA Cup (on penalties). Earlier in this sequence, they lost 3-0 away at Brentford and drew 1-1 away at Tottenham Hotspur. The Black Cats have collected two wins from their last five matches across all competitions but will be concerned by their recent away defeat and defensive fragility on the road.

Burnley arrive at the Stadium of Light in resilient form despite struggling to convert draws into wins. Their most recent match ended in a 2-2 draw at home against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. Prior to that, they drew 1-1 away at Liverpool in the league and secured an emphatic 5-1 home victory over Millwall in the FA Cup. Earlier in this run, they drew 2-2 at home with Manchester United and suffered a 2-0 defeat away at Brighton. The Clarets have collected just one win from their last five outings but have shown character with three draws against top opposition.

The head-to-head record favours Burnley, who have won two of the last five encounters with two draws and one Sunderland victory. Most recently, Burnley claimed a 2-0 home win in August 2025. Sunderland’s only victory in this sequence came with a 1-0 home triumph in August 2024.
