Match description
Sunderland appear to be the favorites: they sit 12th in the table versus Wolverhampton’s 20th and have 12 wins this season compared to the hosts’ 3 wins. The hosts’ form is poor — in the last 5 matches Wolves have 0 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses (PPG 0.2) and have conceded 13 goals (2.6 per game), while Sunderland in their last 5 have 2 wins and 3 losses (PPG 1.2) and conceded 11 goals (2.2 per game). In attack both teams create similarly: Wolves average 3.41 SOT and 1.12 xG at home with an average of 1.00 goals, while Sunderland away average 3.29 SOT and 1.10 xG with 0.76 goals per game; shot conversion is around 10% vs 9%. Defensively the hosts perform worse — Wolves concede 1.88 goals per game at home, Sunderland 1.53 away; additionally Wolves have 1.50 xG against versus an actual 1.88 goals conceded, whereas Sunderland have 1.87 xG against but only concede 1.53 on average, suggesting greater resilience from the visitors. Considering the better league position, advantage in total wins (12 vs 3) and markedly superior PPG over the last 5 matches (1.2 vs 0.2), I give Sunderland the higher probability of victory.
