Wolves welcome Sunderland to Molineux on Saturday afternoon for the kind of fixture late-season Premier League produces by the dozen \u2014 one side already down, the other already safe, the stakes living entirely in the form lines and the price.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Wolves vs Sunderland prediction has the visitors winning, Brian Brobbey to score and the BTTS read landing No at Molineux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The market has Sunderland favoured on the road, which tells its own story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kick-off is 3:00 PM local (10:00 AM ET) on Saturday, May 2. Wolves are 20th in the Premier League<\/a> on 17 points, mathematically relegated and without a win since beating Liverpool 2-1 at home on 3 March. Sunderland sit 12th on 46 points, comfortably safe and arriving on the back of a difficult week \u2014 a 5-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest followed by a 4-3 loss at Aston Villa. The Black Cats won the reverse fixture 2-0 at the Stadium of Light in October, and they will be looking to put the last fortnight to bed at Molineux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

bet365 make Sunderland +125 favourites with Wolves out at +220 and the draw +240. Brian Brobbey at +187 for anytime goalscorer is the cleanest read on the card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunderland to win<\/strong><\/td>\n+125 @ bet365<\/a>
(44.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nSunderland have the better squad and the cleaner motivation; Wolves are winless in four with no goals in their last three. The market has called it on the road for a reason.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Brian Brobbey anytime goalscorer<\/strong><\/td>\n+187 @ bet365<\/a>
(34.8%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nSix goals from 18 starts, 14 shots on target and an xG of 5.32. Sunderland’s lead striker against a Wolves backline that has shipped seven over the last two games.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 goals<\/strong><\/td>\n+100 @ bet365<\/a>
(50.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWolves have conceded three or more in three of their last five at home; Sunderland have produced the loose 4-3 and 5-0 lines this past fortnight. Even money is value.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Enzo Le F\u00e9e anytime goalscorer<\/strong><\/td>\n+333 @ bet365<\/a>
(23.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nFour goals, five assists and an xA of 4.35 from midfield. Sunderland’s creative pulse and a sensible price for a player who arrives in the box.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Correct Score: 0-1 Sunderland<\/strong><\/td>\n+750 @ bet365<\/a>
(11.8%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWolves have not scored in three straight at Molineux and Sunderland have shut out two of their last five on the road. A single-goal away win is the cleanest reflection of how the form lines have stacked up.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both teams to score \u2014 No<\/strong><\/td>\n-106 @ bet365<\/a>
(51.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWolves’ three-game scoreless streak at home is the line in the sand; with a Sunderland defence that has tightened up away from the Stadium of Light, the path to a goalless Wolves performance is the easiest to draw.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our approach: Sunderland to win with Brobbey anytime goalscorer is the clean parlay at bet365<\/a>; Le F\u00e9e anytime is the value secondary play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
