Get £40 in free bets with Ladbrokes ahead of Sunderland vs Brighton

Mar 14, 2026 - 08:15

Sunderland will hope to rediscover their excellent home form this weekend when they welcome Brighton, travelling all the way up from the South Coast.

Having remained unbeaten at the Stadium of Light this season up until the 11th February, the Black Cats have now lost back-to-back games on home turf. Despite that, Regis Le Bris’ team are all but safe – the 1-0 win at Elland Road last time out took them to the previously much-heralded 40-point mark, and ended their stickiest run of the season.

They now host Brighton, who recently emerged from an early 2026 rut, beating Brentford and Nottingham Forest before pushing table toppers Arsenal all the way in their last outing – losing 1-0.

Ahead of the game, punters looking for a new bookie can grab £40 in free bets at Ladbrokes, simply for signing up and placing a £10 bet on any sport.

Brighton to join Sunderland on the beach

Brighton are three points behind their hosts, but a win here would all but confirm another year of Premier League football in Sussex. With the three points meaning slightly more to them, and having had 10 days to prepare,the bookies believe they’ll put in a strong performance here.

Brighton to win

Sunderland were in action on Sunday, and are missing several key players in their back line and up top – namely Nordi Mukiele, Reinildo and Brian Brobbey.
