Match preview

Sunderland host Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on 18 October 2025. Sunderland sit 7th on 54 points and Wolverhampton Wanderers are 20th on 20. Sunderland have won 2 of their last 5 (WDDWL), while Wolverhampton Wanderers have won 1 of 5 (LLWDD). In their last 1 meetings, Sunderland won 0, Wolverhampton Wanderers won 0 and 1 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
