Sunderland AFC VS Chelsea FC

Stadium of Light

24 May, 2026

Overview:

Premier League Round 38 matchup between Sunderland AFC at home and Chelsea FC away, with late-season stakes and both sides showing close table proximity in recent form. Chelsea arrive with slightly stronger finishing metrics and possession profile, while Sunderland’s home resilience and recent head-to-head success make this a competitive, high-variance fixture.

Recent H2H results: Sunderland 1-2 Chelsea

Prediction:

Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 1-2 in favor of Chelsea FC.
Sunderland are likely to stay compact and attack through direct transitions and set pieces, while Chelsea should dominate possession and try to stretch the field with wide rotations and half-space combinations. The key battle is whether Sunderland can resist sustained pressure without conceding early.
Chelsea’s stronger possession and attacking efficiency give them the edge, but Sunderland’s home advantage and recent competitiveness reduce confidence. Expect a narrow away win or draw, with both teams having scoring opportunities.
