Expert predictions and betting odds for Sunderland vs Wolves Premier League clash

Sunderland and Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to clash in an important Premier League match. Both clubs are at different ends of the performance scale this season as they eye vital points.

  • Victories: West Ham United, Brentford
  • Draw: Aston Villa (1-1)

Wolverhampton, in stark contrast, finds itself at the bottom of the league without any wins this season. Out of their seven fixtures, they have lost five. However, there were signs of improvement as Wolves managed to draw their last two matches against Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton. They also secured a victory over Everton in the EFL Cup.
