In the 14th round of the English Premier League on November 29, 2025, Sunderland and Bournemouth will face each other. Both teams have started well and are motivated for success in this encounter.
Regis Le Bris arrived on the Albion last summer and immediately delivered results, guiding his team out of the Championship at the first attempt.
Moreover, in the Premier League, they lost only twice—to Burnley and Manchester United (and, on penalties, to Huddersfield in the League Cup)—winning nearly half of their matches. They even scored twice against Arsenal, ending in a draw with the leader. However, in the last round against Fulham, they suffered a disappointing 0-1 defeat.
The team from the south coast continued to progress and finished with 46 points in ninth place. Despite a summer sell-off of defensive players, they have started this season strongly. However, after consecutive November defeats to Manchester City and Aston Villa, they slipped to mid-table. Following the break, they also settled for a draw with West Ham, albeit an entertaining 2-2.
The Championship newcomer averages 1.17 goals per game, conceding a third less—0.92. Iraola’s side scores 1.58 goals on average but concedes 1.67.
