Match Analysis
Chelsea has shown a mixed bag of results in their recent fixtures, with two wins and a loss. Their triumphs include a commanding 3-0 victory against Nott'm Forest and a narrow 2-1 win over Liverpool. However, they stumbled with a 1-3 defeat at home to Brighton. Advanced metrics reveal that Chelsea scores an average of 1.25 goals per game while conceding 1.0.

Sunderland, on the other hand, comes into this match with a similar mixed form, having won two of their last three games. Their victories came against Wolves and Nott'm Forest, both without conceding a goal, highlighting their defensive solidity. Despite this, Sunderland has struggled offensively, averaging just 0.25 goals per game in recent outings. Notably, they have managed to keep three clean sheets in their last five matches, indicating a strong defensive discipline.
Final Prediction
Chelsea's higher probability of winning is supported by their stronger attacking prowess and home advantage. Although Sunderland's defense has been robust, their lack of goals could be a critical factor in this matchup. A key aspect to watch will be Chelsea's ability to convert their expected goals into actual goals, which could be decisive in breaking down Sunderland's resilient defense.
