Match Facts
This will be the first league meeting between Sunderland and Wolves since the Black Cats won a Championship game 3-0 in May 2018, and first in the Premier League since a 0-0 draw in April 2012.
Wolves have only won one of their last 10 away league games at Sunderland (D3 L6), a 3-1 Premier League win in May 2011 under Mick McCarthy.
Sunderland have earned seven points in their three Premier League home games this season (W2 D1), and a win here would see them earn 10+ points from their first four home matches of a top-flight campaign (adjusting to 3 pts/win all-time) for the first time since 1968-69 (10).
Wolves have gone 1-0 up in each of their last three Premier League games, but failed to win all three (D2 L1). On only eight occasions has a side scored the opener in 4+ consecutive matches in the competition without winning any, most recently Tottenham Hotspur doing so five games running in November/December 2023.
Just one of Sunderland’s seven Premier League goals this season has been scored in the first half (14%), a league-low ratio. They have had 27 shots and 2.4 xG in the opening 45 minutes of games this term, compared to 43 shots and 3.9 xG after half-time.
Wolves have had 86 pressed sequences against them in the Premier League this season, the most of any side. However, only three sides have forced fewer pressed sequences themselves in the division this term than Sunderland (62).
45% of Sunderland’s non-penalty expected goals tally in the Premier League this season has come from set-pieces (2.5 set-piece xG, 5.6 total) – this is the highest ratio of any side in 2025-26. Wolves, meanwhile, have faced 37% of their non-penalty xGA from set plays, the fourth-highest of any club.
Wolves have had 66 shots in seven Premier League games this season, with their average of 9.4 shots-per-game their lowest in a season in the competition. Sunderland, meanwhile, are averaging 10.0 per game (70 in 7), also their lowest on Opta’s records for them (from 1999-00) in a Premier League campaign.
Sunderland goalkeeper Robin Roefs has made more defensive first contacts from corners (8) than any player in the Premier League this season, punching five and claiming three. The Dutchman has also made 24 saves in the competition this term, behind only Martin Dúbravka (29) and Mats Selz (25).
Along with Fulham, Wolves are one of only two sides yet to see a player score more than once for them in the Premier League this season. It’s only the second time that Wolves haven’t had a player score at least twice in any of their first seven matches of a season in the competition, after 2003-04.
