Wolverhampton Wanderers will host Sunderland at Molineux Stadium on May 2, 2026. Wolves have already been relegated from the Premier League, while Sunderland remains in contention for European qualification despite a recent heavy defeat.
Sunderland lost 5-0 to Nottingham Forest in their last match. This defeat marked their fourth loss in the last five home games. Meanwhile, Wolves are struggling as they sit at the bottom of the league table, having scored just 24 goals this season.
Wolves have failed to score in a division-high 18 matches out of their 34 games. They have also lost all four Premier League matches against promoted teams this season and have suffered three successive defeats to relegation-threatened teams by an aggregate score of 8-0.
Key statistics:
- Sunderland is three points behind Bournemouth in seventh place with four games remaining.
- Sunderland has kept a clean sheet in each of their last four league meetings with Wolves.
- Wolves are the Premier League’s lowest scorers this season.
Regis Le Bris noted, “When you drop your standards just by 10%, your opponent can kill you.” Observers expect Sunderland to capitalize on Wolves’ struggles. Yet, Wolves have accumulated enough points to avoid the lowest total in Premier League history.
