Sunderland vs Tottenham Prediction

Form away from the raw league table

Sunderland's last 20 matches across all competitions show 10 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses, a sample that includes Europa League and League Cup games alongside the Premier League. It's a decent overall return, but it covers far more than just league form.

Sunderland: 20 completed matches; Tottenham: 20 completed matches.

Comparative Team Statistics: Sunderland vs Tottenham

Head-to-head history

These two met twice in the Premier League earlier in 2026: Sunderland won 1-0 at home in April, after drawing 1-1 away at Tottenham back in January. Beyond that, the head-to-head record stretches back more than a decade, which doesn't tell us much about either side's current form.

Sunderland's recent home win over Tottenham is the most relevant data point here, even if it's just a single result.

Two sides battling the drop zone

Sunderland currently sit 19th in the Premier League with four points from seven games, while Tottenham are just below them in 20th on three points from six matches. There's barely a point separating the pair, which shows how tight the bottom of the table is right now.

Sunderland have scored six and conceded fourteen, while Tottenham have scored three and conceded nine. Neither side's defence has offered much reassurance so far this season.

With so little between them on points, this looks like a contest both sides need to win rather than one simply picking off.

Personnel to watch

Sunderland's Brobbey has been among the goals lately, scoring three times in five appearances, and his movement up front has been central to whatever attacking threat the home side have managed. Reinildo has picked up just one yellow card in his last four games, so there's no obvious discipline concern there.

There's nothing in the data about Tottenham's individual players for this fixture, so we can't say much about who might carry their attacking threat.
