Premier League 2025-2026: Sunderland vs Newcastle Prediction - 14 Dec 2025

Sunderland's recent form shows a mix of outcomes, having won, drawn, and lost one each of their last three matches. They managed a convincing 3-2 victory at home against Bournemouth but fell to a 3-0 defeat away to Manchester City. Their draw against Liverpool away, where they scored and conceded a goal, indicates resilience. Sunderland's average of 1.8 goals scored per game over the last five suggests they can find the net, but their defense has been leaky, conceding an average of 1.2 goals per match without any clean sheets. Newcastle, on the other hand, comes into this match with a more favorable recent record, having won two of their last three games. They enjoyed a 4-1 away win against Everton and a solid 2-1 home triumph over Burnley. The draw against Tottenham, where they scored twice but also conceded twice, showcases their offensive potential. Despite scoring an average of 1.4 goals per match in their last five, Newcastle has also conceded an average of 1.8 goals, which underscores a vulnerability at the back, similar to Sunderland's defensive woes.
