Match Facts

  • Bournemouth have lost three of their four home league games against Sunderland, with the exception being a 2-0 victory in September 2015.

  • Following their 3-2 victory in November, Sunderland are looking to complete their second league double over Bournemouth, after the 1989-90 second tier campaign.

  • Only Manchester United (10) are on a longer run of unbeaten Premier League matches than Bournemouth (7 – W4 D3). Should they avoid defeat here, it’d be their second eight game unbeaten run in 2025-26, having gone 11 matches winless between these streaks.

  • Only Crystal Palace (4) and Newcastle (4) have had more 0-0 draws than Bournemouth (3) in the Premier League this season, with this their joint-most in a top-flight campaign (also 3 in 2015-16 and 2019-20). Despite this, the Cherries’ Premier League games have seen more goals than any other side this term (88 – F43 A45).

  • Sunderland have lost their last three Premier League games, as many as they had in their previous 12 (W4 D5). They last lost more consecutively in December 2015 (5).

  • Sunderland have 36 points in the Premier League this season, and an expected points total of just 27.2. Only Aston Villa (+17.2) have overperformed their expected points more than the Black Cats this term (8.8).

  • Only bottom two sides Burnley (10.6%) and Wolves (8.1%) have spent a lower share of their game time in a winning position than Sunderland (16.8%) in the Premier League this season.

  • Only Crystal Palace (38) have made fewer changes to their starting XI than Sunderland (40) in the Premier League this season, despite only four teams using more different players than the Black Cats (28).

  • Bournemouth’s Junior Kroupi has scored eight goals from just 26 shots in the Premier League this season, the best shot conversion rate of any player with 20+ attempts (31%).

  • Up to and including their 0-0 draw with Man City on New Year’s Day, Sunderland keeper Robin Roefs had the best goals prevented rate in the Premier League (4.7 – 17 goals conceded from 21.7 xGoT). Since then he’s conceded almost four more goals than expected (15 goals conceded from 11.4 xGoT), with only Guglielmo Vicario having a worse rate in that time (4.1, 18 conceded from 13.9 xGoT).
