Sunderland vs Bournemouth Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The Cherries emerged victorious when they last faced the Black Cats.

Sunderland will lock horns with AFC Bournemouth for their matchweek 13 fixture of the 2025-26 Premier League. The Stadium of Light is all set to witness this intense clash between these clubs.

The Black Cats will be at home, and this is going to keep them in an advantageous situation. They put up a good performance against Arsenal, but then lost their next league contest against Fulham. A win can help them get into the top four spot.
