We kick off a stacked Saturday schedule in Black Country, where Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to host Sunderland at Molineux Stadium on Matchday 35 in the Premier League. Wolves are bottom of the league standings, while the Black Cats are in 12th place entering this weekend. Check out our match prediction below!
The Old Gold’s brief revival has come to an abrupt halt as they enter this match off the back of three consecutive defeats. During this losing streak, Rob Edwards’ side’s fate was confirmed - they will play their final four games in the top flight as a mere formality before heading to the EFL Championship next season.
With 42 points, Regis Le Bris has almost certainly broken the recent trend of newly promoted teams being relegated in their first season in the EPL. The Black Cats suffered a hammering against Forest last week, but needing just a point to guarantee their survival, and now facing a side with nothing but pride to play for, they will fancy their chances of taking something from this one. Let’s get into the key stats!

Wolves - Sunderland: Form Analysis
Wolverhampton Wanderers suffered their 23rd defeat of the season last weekend against Tottenham Hotspur (1-0) and are now winless in four league matches since the start of March.
The Old Gold have failed to score in their last three EPL games and have conceded eight goals in this period. To date, they have shipped 62 goals, averaging 1.8 goals conceded per 90 this season.
The hosts have earned 12 of their 17 points this term at Molineux, but their record of W3 D3 L11 in 17 matches is still the third-worst home record in the division, only ahead of Spurs and Burnley.
Wolves have conceded the most home goals in the EPL this season (32)!
Meanwhile, Sunderland will be determined to get back to winning ways this weekend, having suffered back-to-back defeats to Aston Villa before their 5-0 trouncing by Forest at home last week.
The Black Cats allowed nine goals in those defeats, which counts for 20% of their total goals conceded this season (45). It was also two more than they allowed in their previous seven league matches.
The visitors have lost only one of their last four away league matches (W2 D1). However, they have earned just 17 points in as many games on the road and have scored the second-fewest away goals in the Prem this season.

Wolves & Sunderland Squad Analysis
It was evident that Wolves lacked creativity, having only created one big chance and accumulated just 0.71 xG last week. To address the issue, Edwards may consider recalling Angel Gomes to the starting lineup for this match.
Tolu Arokodare was arguably Wolves' best player after coming off the bench in the last match, and he could get the nod here ahead of Rodrigo Gomes, who only had 16 touches in 71 minutes against Spurs.
The hosts are expected to be missing at least three players for this match, with Sam Johnstone (shoulder), Enso Gonzalez (knee) and Ladislav Krejci (neck) all ruled out through injury.
Keep an eye on Nordi Mukiele this weekend!
The former PSG man scored against Wolves in the reverse fixture and netted the winner against Spurs earlier this month. He exchanged words with Sunderland fans at halftime last week when his side were 4-0 down, and he will feel he has a point to prove here.
Le Bris made a tactical change, bringing on Reinildo Mandava for Christopher Rigg in the second half against Forest. The Mozambique international recorded eight passes into the final third and could be rewarded with a starting berth this week.
The visitors have five players listed on their injury report for this trip to Black Country, including Jocelin Ta Bi, Ryan Mundle, Bertrand Traore, Nilson Angulo and Simon Moore.

Our Wolves vs Sunderland Prediction
A couple of months ago, Wolves looked as though they could make a late push to avoid the drop, but having now lost three in a row and failed to score in any, it seems they have thrown in the towel for the season.
In contrast, Sunderland have plenty to fight for across the final four games of the season, as they are still only three points off European qualification. We fancy the visitors in this one, but will opt for the safety of our money back in the event of a draw as our primary wager. Our Wolves vs Sunderland prediction is Sunderland draw no bet.
