Sunderland vs Wolves prediction, odds & betting tips 18/10/2025

Sunderland will take on Wolves on Saturday, 18 October, in a Premier League clash that could turn out to be a significant one in the battle to beat the drop. Wolves come into the match as the only remaining team in the division to have not won a match yet, but they will see this match as a good opportunity to get off the mark. Sunderland, meanwhile, have had an excellent start to the season but are still expected to find themselves in and around the bottom three by May. As part of this week's round of Premier League betting tips, check out our Sunderland vs Wolves prediction below.

Most recent H2Hs: A first meeting in seven years

This will be the first time that Sunderland and Wolves have played against each other since 2018, when they met in the Championship. Their last top-flight meeting was even further back in 2012. While we shouldn't read too much into the results of these fixtures, Sunderland are unbeaten in their last three match against Wolves.

Sunderland preview: Sweating on international injuries

Sunderland were dealt a blow over the international break after Omar Alderete and Noah Sadiki both picked up injuries. The duo have a chance of being fit for this one, but if they don't make it, then they will join a list of five players in the treatment room – Habib Diarra, Romaine Mundle, Aji Alese, Leo Hjelde and Dennis Cirkin. Predicted lineup: Roefs (GK), Hume, Mukiele, Ballard, Masuaku, Xhaka, Rigg, Le Fee, Talbi, Isidor, Adingra Last five results

• Man Utd 2-0 Sunderland
• Nottingham Forest 0-1 Sunderland
• Sunderland 1-1 Aston Villa
• Crystal Palace 0-0 Sunderland
• Sunderland 2-1 Brentford

Wolves preview: System change to continue

Wolves have fared far better in a back four than they did in a back five, so Vitor Pereira will almost certainly continue with his new formation this week. Toti Gomes should return, but Matt Doherty and Leon Chiwome remain unavailable. Predicted lineup: Johnstone (GK), Tchatchoua, S.Bueno, Krejci, H.Bueno, Munetsi, Andre, J.Gomes, Arias, Strand Larsen, Hwang Last five results

• Wolves 1-1 Brighton
• Tottenham 1-1 Wolves
• Wolves 2-0 Everton
• Wolves 1-3 Leeds
• Newcastle 1-0 Wolves

Player to watch: Jorgen Strand Larsen

Jorgen Strand Larsen was hot property in the summer, but the Norwegian has failed to deliver the goods so far this season. In five PL appearances, he is yet to get off the mark, but like all strikers, he could just need the one to bring the confidence flooding back.
