Bournemouth have yet to win a Premier League game this season. Three draws and three defeats have left them 18th on three points, and on Sunday they host Sunderland, 17th on four.
Kick-off is 4pm Kenya time on Sunday 18 October at the Vitality Stadium, with Craig Pawson refereeing. In their last five matches the two sides have four wins between them, and all four came in the Europa League.
Bournemouth's league slide, and Sunderland's thin record
Bournemouth have won none of their six league matches and have conceded 13. Their worst defeat was a 5–1 loss at Chelsea on 10 October. Their most recent game was a 3–0 home win over Sturm Graz in the Europa League on 15 October.
Sunderland have one league win, a 1–0 home win over Fulham, and one draw. They conceded 12 in their six league games. Their last league match was a 0–2 home defeat to Brighton on 10 October.

Four Bournemouth absences, three at Sunderland
Bournemouth are missing J. Araujo (thigh injury), E. J. Kroupi (foot injury), V. Milosavljevic (injury) and A. Scott (thigh injury).
Sunderland are without D. Ballard and T. Meunier, both with muscle injuries, and R. Mundle, who has a knee injury. W. Isidor is listed as questionable.
Head-to-head: Sunderland hold the edge, narrowly
Sunderland have won two of the five meetings in our records, Bournemouth one, and two have been drawn. Bournemouth's only win in that run was a 1–0 victory at Sunderland on 29 April 2017. The most recent meeting ended 1–1 at the Vitality Stadium on 28 February 2026.
Level on goal difference, with few clean sheets
Bournemouth have scored seven league goals to Sunderland's six, and both sides have a goal difference of -6. Neither side has kept many clean sheets: Sunderland have one in their last ten games and Bournemouth none. Bournemouth have failed to score once in their league games, Sunderland twice.
Scoring is concentrated in both squads. Brobbey's three league goals all came in the 3–5 defeat at Manchester City, and Tavernier also has three, with a higher average rating (7.21 to 7.08). Evanilson's three assists are the most of any player listed for either side.
At the time of writing, the betting market's view, calculated from Pinnacle's prices with the margin removed, is 45% for a Bournemouth win, 28% for a draw and 27% for a Sunderland win. That is the market's view, not our prediction.
