Brighton vs Sunderland Prediction (20.12.2025)

For the first time this season, Brighton is without a win in three consecutive rounds. They also suffered their first home loss after a dramatic 3:4 against Aston Villa. There has been a goal in seven of Brighton's eight home games this season, scoring each time at home. They have recorded some good home victories and will now try to return to that form again.

Sunderland has three points more than their opponent and celebrated a home victory in the derby against Newcastle last week. They suffered their heaviest loss of the season in their last away match after a 0:3 against Man. City. As guests, Sunderland has been inconsistent. However, it is a fact that they did not lose their visits to Liverpool and Chelsea, but in their eight away games, they scored only four goals. This is also a reason why six of their eight visits have had under 2.5 goals.

I expect the home factor to help Brighton get back on the winning path, even though Sunderland is a tough opponent. Sunderland might score here, as it is clear that Brighton has a problem keeping a clean sheet. Still, I feel that Brighton can win, perhaps with a score of 2:1.
