Sunderland vs Wolves Form and Head to Head
Sunderland's last outing saw them lose 2-0 away to Manchester United. The Black Cats' form has been somewhat inconsistent, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches, including a League Cup penalty shoot-out defeat to Huddersfield.
Wolves drew 1-1 against Brighton in their most recent game. The Wanderers are currently enduring a difficult spell, failing to secure a victory in their last eleven Premier League matches.
The last time these two teams met, Sunderland emerged victorious with a 3-0 win in a Championship match back in May 2018.
Interestingly, Sunderland have kept a clean sheet in their last three matches against Wolves in all competitions.

Sunderland vs Wolves Match Prediction
Sunderland's first few months back in the top-flight could hardly have gone much better and if they keep performing as they have been at home, avoiding relegation looks a hugely realistic outcome.
The Black Cats are unbeaten in front of their own fans, already beating the likes of West Ham and Brentford here.
Wolves were stung late on for the second game running against Brighton and therefore travel to the Stadium of Light still waiting for their first Premier League win of the campaign.
They have a desperate record in this part of the North East, winning just once here since 1993.
