Key factors

What will decide this match?

Home advantage first, then expected goals and the factor with the most influence on this match.

Home advantage

Expected goals
Edge: Goals

Quality gap
Edge: Chelsea
Chelsea rate clearly higher and the draw is only 23%. If they score first, the match should go their way.

Team set-up

How will the two teams line up?

Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Sunderland

Expect Sunderland to sit compact at Stadium of Light and wait for one chance rather than try to control the match.

Away

Chelsea

Chelsea are built to dominate the ball. They should have most of the possession on their trip to Stadium of Light and keep Sunderland pinned in their own half for long spells.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.

If Chelsea name a weakened XI
Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.
If Sunderland score first
The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.

Preview

Sunderland vs Chelsea match preview

Sunderland host Chelsea in front of their own fans, and the Goexch numbers lean towards Chelsea. The expected-goals gap (1.06 for Sunderland, 1.84 for Chelsea) is the clearest signal, and it is where our 56% for Chelsea comes from. Sunderland's best chance is to keep it level into the last 30 minutes, when the draw becomes a real possibility.
