Sunderland vs Fulham meet in a Premier League Gameweek 2 clash at the Stadium of Light on Sunday at 2pm, with the newly promoted hosts fancied on home soil.

Both sides were beaten on the opening weekend and meet needing a first point on the board. Anthony Eadson has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record below.

Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson leans towards Sunderland, whose passionate home support could prove decisive.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Brian Brobbey & Gonzao Garcia 1+ shot on target6/4Brian Brobbey remains a key attacking outlet for Sunderland and managed to test the goalkeeper against Ipswich last weekend. He averaged 0.8 shots on target per 90 minutes in the Premier League last season and should again lead the line.
Gonzalo Garcia also looks capable of delivering, having scored on his Premier League debut against Chelsea. Fulham created chances despite seeing less of the ball, and Garcia should have opportunities to trouble the Sunderland defence.
With both forwards likely to see plenty of attacking opportunities, 6/4 for Brobbey and Garcia to each register at least one shot on target looks appealing.
Josh King to Score9/2Josh King made the perfect start to the new Premier League season, scoring Fulham’s first goal in their 3-2 defeat to Chelsea. He also impressed with three shots in that game, underlining his willingness to get forward and test the goalkeeper.
The 19-year-old scored once in 32 Premier League appearances last season, but his role has continued to grow after starting all three of Fulham’s league matches early in his breakthrough campaign. With King already off the mark this term and showing plenty of attacking intent, 9/2 looks a big price for him to score again.

How Sunderland go into the game

Sunderland’s return to the Premier League began with a 2-1 defeat at Ipswich, an encouraging display despite the result. The Stadium of Light will be bouncing for their first home game back among the elite.

Home form will be key to Sunderland’s survival bid, and the atmosphere on Wearside can lift the side. This is a game they will have circled as winnable.

How Fulham go into the game

Fulham slipped to a 3-2 home defeat against Chelsea on the opening day, undone in an entertaining game. They will look to tighten up defensively on their travels.

Alvaro Arbeloa’s side are well-organised and capable on the road, but the Stadium of Light is a daunting venue. They will need to weather an early storm to take something.
