Sunderland vs Brighton Prediction and Betting Tips 14 March 2026

Sunderland take on Brighton in a game that tests form and resilience. As the Black Cats are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict a 2-1 home win. Regis Le Bris' men will be eager to bounce back after a shocking FA Cup exit to Port Vale, with key midfielder Granit Xhaka returning to the starting XI. Their home form has been mixed, winning 50% of matches at Stadium of Light, but they have averaged 2.75 goals per game at home, with BTTS in 50% of home fixtures.

The Seagulls, meanwhile, have been inconsistent, but their away form shows promise, averaging 2.4 goals per game and securing victories in two of their last three trips. Pacey winger Yankuba Minteh could provide an attacking spark for the visitors after featuring from the bench in their recent 1-0 loss to Arsenal. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.

As Sunderland have turned their Stadium of Light into a real fortress, our prediction firmly points toward Home Win, alongside Both Teams to Score, and Over 2.5 goals (Sunderland’s attacking home form meets Brighton’s away threat).

This Premier League match will be played on Saturday 14 March 2026 at 15:00.
