At the Stadium of Light on 3 November 2025, Sunderland host Everton in a Premier League clash that pits one of the season’s pleasant surprises against a side struggling to find rhythm and confidence.
Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
The selection is Under 2.5 goals, reflecting Sunderland’s disciplined home performances and Everton’s ongoing attacking inconsistency. Both teams have shown structured defensive setups, suggesting a tight, low-scoring affair.
Sunderland: Compact and Confident at Home
Sunderland’s return to the top flight has been highly impressive. Their home record - three wins and one draw - underscores their resilience and tactical organization. The key to their success has been a compact defensive unit and efficient use of counterattacks rather than high-scoring shootouts. Only once in their four home fixtures have they conceded more than one goal.
Everton: Attacking Struggles Continue
Everton’s form has dipped again, with two consecutive losses and only one win in six. On the road, Sean Dyche’s men often look hesitant in the final third and lack creativity against compact defenses. Their away games this season have generally been cagey, averaging under 2.5 goals per match.
