Sunderland open their home account in the Premier League having lost their only top-flight outing so far, a 1-2 reverse at Ipswich. Their five-game sample shows three wins but only against friendly and pre-season opposition. Fulham arrive off a League Cup 3-0 win over AFC Wimbledon midweek, though they conceded three to Chelsea on matchday one. Simon Adingra is out for the hosts; Tom Cairney misses the trip for Fulham.
The head-to-head record is stark. Sunderland have won none of the last four meetings, losing three, conceding eight goals and keeping zero clean sheets across those games. Fulham scored in three of those four fixtures from Sunderland's perspective. Fulham have found the net in all five of their recent matches, giving them a scored-in rate of 5 from 5.
At 2.15 (bet365) the Fulham Draw No Bet covers the draw and returns on a Fulham win. Given Sunderland's h2h record and a Fulham side that has scored in every recent outing, that price offers genuine value. Back Fulham DNB at 2.15.
