VS
Crystal Palace vs Sunderland is an open English matchup in which away wins, draws and changing competitive contexts keep the hierarchy conditional. Palace drew 0–0 at Selhurst Park on 13 September 2025, then Sunderland won 2–1 at the Stadium of Light on 17 January 2026; Palace had won 4–0 in London in February 2017. Future meetings will ask which response travels best.

Stats for this game
Matchup Crystal Palace VS Sunderland
Both venues have produced surprises
The scorelines move in both directions. Palace won 3–1 at Selhurst Park in August 2013 and 4–0 there in February 2017, while Sunderland answered with 3–1 at Palace in November 2014 and 1–0 in November 2015. Palace also won 4–1 at Sunderland in April 2015 and 3–2 there in September 2016. Home ground has mattered, but it has never removed the visitor’s route to a decisive result.
Draws leave the door open
Sunderland and Palace drew 0–0 in March 2014 and 2–2 at the Stadium of Light in March 2016. The 0–0 at Selhurst Park on 13 September 2025 added another controlled meeting before Sunderland’s 2–1 home win on 17 January 2026. The pair’s competitive settings vary, so the useful profile is an adaptable one rather than a permanent status claim. A future encounter will ask whether Palace can turn home initiative into separation, or whether Sunderland can again exploit the moments that make an open game tilt away from the hosts.
