Sunderland welcome Fulham to the Stadium of Light on Sunday looking to end a long wait for a Premier League home win against the Londoners, having not managed one since 2009. The Black Cats sit 11th in the table after 26 matches. Despite recent setbacks, they remain well placed to secure top-flight survival in their first season back after an eight-year absence.
While Sunderland boast the fifth-best home record in the division, history is not on their side in this fixture. They have failed to win any of their last five top-flight meetings with Fulham, drawing three and losing two since their last home success against the Cottagers more than a decade ago.
Fulham, meanwhile, arrive on Wearside in need of a response after a difficult run of form. Marco Silva’s side have lost three consecutive league games and four of their last five overall. They have slipped into the bottom half after defeats to Manchester United, Everton and Manchester City.

BTTS looks a strong angle here because Fulham’s matches are generally open, with both teams scoring in four of their last five. Sunderland have generally been reliable for a goal at the Stadium of Light this season. After having their long home unbeaten run snapped by Liverpool, the Black Cats should come out with extra intensity.
The numbers point towards a game with chances: Fulham have seen over 2.5 goals in each of their last five matches. Meanwhile, Sunderland have gone over the line in five of their last six. With Fulham’s recent games trending end-to-end and Sunderland expected to play with more urgency after that home defeat, this has the look of a match where one goal could quickly turn into two or three.
Brobbey is a solid anytime shout because he has shown a knack for decisive moments. He is already on five goals and scored two crucial match-winners this season. Sunderland will likely try to be on the front-foot at home and their striker should see enough service in the box, which makes that 2.8 price attractive.
