Sunderland vs Bournemouth Prediction, Betting Tips & Match Preview – Premier League 2025/26
The Stadium of Light roars back to life as Sunderland host Bournemouth in a mid-table Premier League scrap on Saturday, 29th November 2025 at 16:00 WAT / 15:00 GMT.
Newly-promoted Black Cats, riding a four-game unbeaten streak and sitting pretty in 7th with 19 points, face a Cherries side level on points but leaking goals (20 conceded, joint-worst in the top eight). Sunderland’s home solidity (3W-3D, just 4 conceded) meets Bournemouth’s road resilience (3W in 6 aways), but the visitors’ recent 4-0 thrashing at Villa exposes frailties. First PL meeting since 2017 (Bournemouth’s 1-0 win sealed Sunderland’s relegation)—expect a tactical chess match with goals on the cards.
At Socapredict, we’ve crunched form, stats, and odds for the sharpest edges. Le Bris’ Cats pounce at home.
