Crystal Palace vs Sunderland betting tips summary
- Crystal Palace to win – unbeaten at home since February.
- Jean-Phillippe Mateta to score anytime – scored four goals against newly-promoted sides last season.
- Over 3 corners in the second half – landed in 10 of Palace’s last 11 matches at Selhurst Park
As the EPL season returns after its first international break, Crystal Palace look to extend their unbeaten start at Selhurst Park as they take on Sunderland on Saturday afternoon at 1500 (BST).
Palace have begun the 2025/26 campaign by carrying forward the confidence of winning last season’s FA Cup.
Their latest match against Aston Villa showed a side that can challenge any team in the country, as the combination of a solid defence and attacking dynamism helped them comfortably defeat the Villans.
Before the transfer window concluded, the Eagles were able to bolster Glasner’s squad with the arrivals of centre-back Jaydee Canvot and versatile attacker Christantus Uche, whilst also retaining the services of their captain Marc Guehi.
Sunderland arrive in south east London brimming with confidence. Regis Le Bris’s side have managed to pick up two wins from three games in the Premier League so far – dramatically defeating Brentford in Gameweek three just before the international break.
Adding on to an already incredible transfer window, Sunderland managed to acquire the services of Brian Brobbey and Bertrand Traore from Ajax, and Lutsharel Geertruida from RB Leipzig on deadline day to bolster the Black Cats’ squad.
