Prediction: Brighton Wins
Our prediction for Brighton v Sunderland is that Brighton wins. Brighton are going through a slump and haven’t won in three outings. They are, however, our choice to win as they are home, where they have enjoyed most of their success.
The hosts have registered four of their six league wins at the Amex. As for Sunderland, though they won a crucial derby last time out, they have a lot of things going against them for this clash. The visitors have suffered all of their losses this season away from home. They also arrive heavily depleted, with five players away on international duty and another three out injured.
Comprehensive Prediction Analysis:
Brighton
| Date | Competition | Opponent | Opponent Goals | Brighton Goals |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 Dec 2025 | Premier League | Liverpool | 2 | 0 |
| 7 Dec 2025 | Premier League | West Ham | 1 | 1 |
| 4 Dec 2025 | Premier League | Aston Villa | 4 | 3 |
| 30 Nov 2025 | Premier League | Nottingham Forest | 0 | 2 |
| 22 Nov 2025 | Premier League | Brentford | 1 | 2 |
| 9 Nov 2025 | Premier League | Crystal Palace | 0 | 0 |
Brighton are in a slump, having failed to win in three games, losing twice. After scoring three goals in a disheartening 4-3 loss at home to Aston Villa, goals have dried up for Fabian Huzeler’s men.
They have scored just once in their last two matches and suffered a 2-0 loss away to Liverpool last time out. Brighton have blown hot and cold this season. They have managed six wins and drawn a further five in 16 games.
With 23 points, they find themselves in a crowded race for Europe with just six points separating sixth from 15th. The hosts were not in action in midweek, having already been eliminated from the EFL Cup.
Sunderland
| Date | Competition | Opponent | Opponent Goals | Sunderland Goals |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14 Dec 2025 | Premier League | Newcastle | 0 | 1 |
| 6 Dec 2025 | Premier League | Manchester City | 3 | 0 |
| 4 Dec 2025 | Premier League | Liverpool | 1 | 1 |
| 29 Nov 2025 | Premier League | Bournemouth | 2 | 3 |
| 22 Nov 2025 | Premier League | Fulham | 1 | 0 |
| 9 Nov 2025 | Premier League | Arsenal | 2 | 2 |
Sunderland were also not in action as the League Cup took center stage this week. As both teams have had a full week of preparation, we should expect a blockbuster clash.
The visitors have regressed after an exciting return to the topflight and have won just twice in their last seven games. At one point, Regis Le Bris’ men sat amongst the top two but have now dropped out of the European places.
Sunderland got back on track last time out, defeating historic rivals Newcastle by a solitary goal at home in the Tyne-Wear derby.
Final Prediction:
Asian Handicap: Brighton -1
European Handicap: Brighton Wins
Predicted Scores: 2-0, 2-1. 3-1
Predicted Total Goals: 2, 3, 4
