Stats for this game
Matchup Aston Villa VS Sunderland
Villa hold the stronger balance
Aston Villa have produced the clearer share of the positive results in this matchup, including wins in different competitive settings. Villa won 6–1 at Villa Park on 29 April 2013 and 4–0 at the Stadium of Light on 14 March 2015. Sunderland answered with a 3–1 home victory on 2 January 2016, but Villa later won both Championship meetings in 2017–18. The pattern gives Villa an edge while preserving Sunderland’s capacity to respond.
Sunderland can keep the margin alive
The later meetings reinforce that profile without making it one-sided. Sunderland held Villa to a 1–1 draw at home on 21 September 2025, then stayed within one goal as Villa won 4–3 on 19 April 2026. Villa Park asks Sunderland to absorb sustained pressure, while the Stadium of Light can help the challenger raise the intensity. A future encounter will test whether Villa turn their broader advantage into control or Sunderland make resistance decisive.
