Key Factors
Sunderland Home Dominance: The Black Cats have lost only once at home in 13 league matches this season, maintaining a defensive record of just 0.77 goals conceded per home game.
Fulham Away Frailty: Fulham has conceded 24 goals in 13 away matches, keeping just one away clean sheet all season, which aligns with their recent trend of conceding at least twice in their last three league outings.
xG Efficiency vs. Volume: Sunderland performs consistently with their xG at home (1.62 per game), while Fulham often struggles to convert chances into points on the road despite maintaining respectable shot volume.
Key Personnel Absence: The absence of Granit Xhaka (Sunderland) reduces the hosts' midfield control, but Fulham's own injuries (Cairney, Lukic) offset this by thinning their creative depth.
Injuries & Absentees
Sunderland will likely be without the influential Granit Xhaka (ankle) and Bertrand Traoré (knee), which weakens their mid-block stability. However, the return of Omar Alderete provides a boost to the defense. Fulham misses Tom Cairney and Sasa Lukic, significantly reducing their ability to control the tempo in away environments.
