Anderlecht vs Sunderland, 21 January 2027, UEFA Europa League: form, head-to-head and match facts

Anderlecht host Sunderland in what promises to be a decisive clash for both sides. The Belgian side sit seventh in the table with ten points from six games, having scored four and conceded five, while the English visitors languish in 14th place with just four points, also on a –2 goal difference after netting three and letting in five. Anderlecht’s three wins and single draw give them a clear edge in recent form, whereas Sunderland’s solitary victory and draw underline the uphill battle they face. A positive result for Sunderland could spark a late‑season surge, but Anderlecht will look to consolidate their mid‑table push and widen the gap to the teams above them.
