Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Sunderland Prediction

Wolves are 4-1-2 in their last 7 meetings against Sunderland, but Sunderland is 5-1-1 in their last 7 home meetings against Wolves. Over is 7-2 in their last 9 meetings, and 6-1 in their last 7 meetings in Stadium of Light.

In this Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Sunderland Prediction, Sunderland is coming as +140 home favorites. Sunderland is rightfully favored, as they have been doing great so far this season for a newcomer, and are facing the weakest team in the Premier League. Wolves have managed to stop losing lately, so I will not fade them in this matchup. Instead, I will take a look at the goals, where both teams are struggling mightily offensively, scoring just 1.71 goals per game combined, with Sunderland also having a strong defense, allowing 0.86 goals per game. I expect a low-scoring affair today, so take the under 2.5 goals in this one.
