Sunderland vs Fulham: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Starting Lineups

Sunderland vs Fulham predicted formations

Sunderland host Fulham at Stadium of Light on Sunday, August 30 (9:00 AM ET / 8:00 AM CT / 6:00 AM PT).

Sunderland will be without the injured Simon Adingra as they look for a response at the Stadium of Light, leaving Nilson Angulo, Trai Hume, Granit Xhaka and Noah Sadiki as the players most likely to carry the home side’s threat. Fulham arrive missing the injured Tom Cairney and the suspended Joachim Andersen, which puts extra weight on Joshua King, Timothy Castagne and Sander Berge to lead the visitors’ attacking play.

Both sides sit on zero points after losing their opening matches. Sunderland went down 2-1 at Ipswich Town, while Fulham lost 2-3 at home to Chelsea, meaning this is really about which team steadies itself first at the Stadium of Light.

US viewers can watch Sunderland vs Fulham on NBC and Peacock.

    Sunderland vs Fulham Prediction

    Sunderland and Fulham are both still on zero points, and neither has offered evidence of control over the other so far this season. We’re landing on a 1-1 draw, with Trai Hume and Timothy Castagne both capable of supplying chances to their forwards, and Joshua King well placed to add his name to the scoresheet again.
