Wolves (home)
- Wolves have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five Premier League games.
- A pragmatic, possession-based approach tends to be Wolves’ best chance of frustrating opponents at Molineux, and Rob Edwards’ side have been most comfortable when playing out of a back-three and controlling the pace and rhythm of games.
- Wolves are in the middle of a terrible streak of results that has seen them lose their last three matches, including a 4-0 defeat at West Ham, a 3-0 defeat at Leeds and a 1-0 home loss to Tottenham last weekend.
Sunderland (away)
- Sunderland have won two and lost three of their last five Premier League matches.
- Sunderland are more dynamic, with a 4-3-3 that gets players forward, presses in a coordinated fashion and circulates the ball at pace.
- Le Bris’ side press with numbers, they are incredibly quick in transition and their players are more than capable of executing a quick passing game.
Head-to-Head
- Sunderland won 2-0 in the home matchup when these sides last met in the Premier League six months ago.
- Wolves have won just 3, drawn 3 and lost 11 of 17 matches at Molineux in the Premier League 2025-2026.
Key Players
- In Brian Brobbey, Sunderland have a striker who can find the net with six Premier League goals in 27 appearances, and they can cause Wolves problems at the other end of the pitch, although they have conceded 1.53 goals per away match in the Premier League 2025-2026.
- Wolves’ leading scorer this season is Rodrigo Gomes with 3 Premier League goals in 18 appearances and his pace and trickery from wide areas could cause problems for the Black Cats.
Betting Insights
- Wolves have scored 1.00 and conceded 1.88 goals per home match on average in the Premier League 2025-2026 and their defensive frailties could be exploited by a Sunderland side that can be a little open at the back.
- A high-scoring affair looks likely but Sunderland’s superior defensive discipline for the game suggests they can keep Wolves at bay, so we’re going for an away win and taking Over 2.5 goals and Both Teams to Score - No in the main selection.
Prediction
With relegation confirmed, this is a chance for Sunderland to pick up some momentum in the final few weeks of the season and they should be able to take the three points on Saturday.
