by Kennedy Kechula | in Premier League Predictions
Crystal Palace have shown they can be the team to watch this season after a strong start to the 2025/26 campaign. They will seek to extend their good start against another side on an equally encouraging run, Sunderland. These two meet at Selhurst Park for matchday four action in the Premier League. Read on to find our prediction of this match.
Crystal Palace will go into the weekend unbeaten from their opening three matches, sitting in eighth place and also readying for their first season in Europe. The Eagles drew with Chelsea and Nottingham Forest in London derbies before blanking Aston Villa 3-0 last time out.
The Black Cats will be keen not to be mauled by the Eagles, who themselves carry a big threat to this clash. So far the best performing among the promoted sides, Sunderland have picked up maximum points against London sides West Ham United and Brentford. They will be gunning for three more on their trip to the capital.

Crystal Palace - Sunderland: Form Analysis
Crystal Palace went into the international break on a high, having thrashed Aston Villa 3-0. Though that was their first win of the season, after two earlier draws, it stretched their unbeaten run.
The hosts are now on a nine-game unbeaten streak in the league, but six of those matches were drawn. This is their longest unbeaten streak in the league. Their run is also strong at home, having gone undefeated in seven league matches, with four wins.
The last time Palace avoided defeat in their opening three matches in a season was in 1992/93. It will boost their hopes for this match that in their last 16 meetings with promoted sides, Palace lost only once.
Crystal Palace won 10 of their last 16 matches against promoted Premier League sides.
Sunderland will still be positive going into this match despite the stakes. The last time these two sides faced off, the Black Cats won. That was eight years ago.
Their return to the Premier League has delivered breathtaking football, serving wins against West Ham United and Brentford. They went to the international break on a high, having come from behind to beat Brentford 2-1.
In between their wins, though, Sunderland lost to fellow promoted side Burnley before getting eliminated from the League Cup. One area they will take pride in is having scored in three of their four matches this season.

Crystal Palace & Sunderland Squad Analysis
Crystal Palace were forced to sell Eberechi Eze to Arsenal towards the closure of the summer transfers, and life has moved on swiftly. However, Marc Guehi could not get his wish in a late twist that saw a move to Liverpool collapse.
The defender remains a key member of the team and scored in their last outing as they blanked Aston Villa 3-0. The Englishman is surely disappointed at missing his dream move but has always been professional and will definitely lead out his mates.
Meanwhile, Ismaila Sarr was coming up well as a great asset in attack, scoring in the last two league games, but is now ruled out with a thigh injury. With the Senegalese forward out, Jean Philippe Mateta will take up the full mantle in attack as Chrisantus Uche settles in.
Both teams will miss key men in Dan Ballard and Ismaila Sarr
Sunderland’s last away match ended in defeat, and they will be hoping to avoid a repeat. That might be tough with their best player in defence Dan Ballard, ruled out.
A scorer in their opening league game, Ballard suffered a groin injury that is set to keep him out until October. It is not just his aerial threat during set pieces that will be missed; the defender has also recorded 82.2% pass accuracy.
In the middle of the park, Granit Xhaka has been a pillar with his performances and leadership. The skipper’s experience at the top levels has been crucial for the team, and he has one assist to his name.

Our Crystal Palace vs Sunderland Prediction
Crystal Palace have had a good start to the season and seem capable of balancing the demands of European and domestic football. Though missing a cog in Ismaila Sarr, the Eagles will still pose a threat in attack, especially with Sunderland’s Dan Ballard out.
With a 12-game unbeaten run at home, Crystal Palace will be confident of delivering three points here. Sunderland aren’t the strongest competitors on the road either. They lost their first away game, and this too might end in defeat. Our prediction for Crystal Palace v Sunderland is that Crystal Palace wins the match.
Crystal Palace vs Sunderland - Other Interesting Predictions
Both teams to score
While Palace go into this game as the favorites, it is worth noting that they aren’t the best defensively. The Eagles kept just two clean sheets in their last 15 league matches at home. On the other hand, Sunderland have scored in three of their four matches so far this season. Our second prediction for this match is for both teams to score.
