Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Sunderland

Sunderland will be heading to its next Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers, being the favourites to win. They have been strong against the Wolves across head-to-head competitions and also grab the home ground advantage in the next game, which makes them likely to come out on top. Over their last five matches, the team has shown improvements with two wins and a loss. On the other hand, Wolverhampton Wanderers will take advantage of its dominance against Sunderland in the Premier League, which could help them to get a turnaround. But their form raises concern as the team holds three losses and no wins over their last five matches. Our prediction is that Sunderland will win the next game against Wolverhampton Wanderers by a margin of at least one goal.
