Fulham vs Sunderland Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 1.63 expected goals for Fulham and 1.20 for Sunderland, a combined total of 2.82.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 54% for over 2.5 goals and 56% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 12%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 47% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Fulham win, at 47.3%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 56% and over 2.5 goals at 54%.
A 47% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
