Torreense vs Sunderland Preview


Torreense rarely find the net and Sunderland showed their quality against Alkmaar in the Europa League. There’s value on another Black Cats win to nil here. 

Key Stats - Goal Shy Torreense


  • Torreense have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 games.
  • Sunderland have won 5 of their last 10 competitive matches.

H2H 


This will be the first-ever meeting between Torreense and Sunderland. 

Torreense Out of Form in 2026/27


Second-tier Portuguese side Torreense have failed to win in seven of their opening nine matches this season. 

The Blue Garnets were winless in their first five games and lost without scoring twice. Luís Tralhao’s team ended that streak by defeating Benfica B 2-0 then drew 0-0 with Leixoes.  

The Torres Vedras-based side beat Lillestrom 2-1 in the Europa League. Torreense were outplayed, allowing 2.58 XG and 67% possession and scored in each half.

Tralhao’s outfit continued their patchy start to the campaign with a 1-0 loss to Tondela on Saturday. The Blue Garnets had one shot on target and conceded late in the second half.

Sunderland Looked Good in European Return


Regis Le Bris’ Sunderland are a hard-to-beat side and have avoided defeat in six of their previous 10 fixtures. 

The Premier League side went on a three-match unbeaten run after beating Fulham and Hull 1-0 and drawing 1-1 with Brentford. The Black Cats then lost 2-0 at home against Arsenal. 

Sunderland hit back in the Europa League and beat Alkmaar 1-0, facing just two shots on target. The Wearside outfit couldn’t maintain winning form and lost 5-3 at Man City.

Le Bris’ side also lost 2-0 at home against Brighton on Sunday. Sunderland had 62% possession and conceded in each half. 

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News


Torreense (4-3-3): Adriel; David Bruno, Volnei, Diadie Mohamed, Javi Vazquez; Amine Oudrhiri, Alejandro Alfaro, Joao Marques; Manuel Pozo, Malik Abubakari, Dany Jean

Nuha Jatta was sent off in the Lillestrom Europa League matches and is suspended. 

Sunderland (4-2-3-1): Robin Roefs; Trai Hume, Kevin Danso, Nordi Mukiele, Reinildo Mandava; Granit Xhaka, Noah Sadiki; Malick Fofana, Enzo Le Fee, Nilson Angulo; Wilson Isidor

Winger Romaine Mundle is unavailable due to a long-term knee problem and midfielder Habib Diarra has a hamstring injury. 

Striker Brian Brobbey and centre-back Dan Ballard are set to miss out through injury. Regis Le Bris confirmed Ballard’s timeframe for recovery recently and said, “For Ballard, it is a medium-term injury – probably a few weeks.”

Verdict

Torreense have been second best in recent games and are unlikely to trouble Sunderland. An away win to nil is the best bet in this Europa League clash.
