Score Predictions: Can Sunderland See Off Wolves?

Martin Wanless predicts… Score prediction: Wolves 1 Sunderland 1 Sunderland’s first goalscorer: Enzo Le Fée After last week’s disaster show, we’ll go back to basics today, with a solid defensive display and looking to capitalise on any opportunity to counter attack. Wolves are a strange side as they’ve rarely looked as bad as their league position suggests, so to underestimate them would lead to trouble. I’m going 1-1, with a Le Fée penalty levelling the game.

‘The Champion’ Malc Dugdale predicts… Score prediction: Wolves 1 Sunderland 3 Sunderland’s first goalscorer: Brian Brobbey Wolves have had a weird season but after a right shocker last weekend, we absolutely need to correct it and at least get something today. As we’re expecting and probably also hoping to have some wide men available, we may see a different approach for this game, for more than the obvious Forest-related reasons. Whatever happens, the minimum I expect is a reaction, a solid shift and a good performance, even if it’s in a losing cause — which I very much hope isn’t the case.

Brobbey to open the scoring for us and a solid 0-3 win with a potentially late consolation for the home fans. A clean sheet would be great if we can get one. Jack Howe-Gingell predicts… Score prediction: Wolves 0 Sunderland 2 Sunderland’s first goalscorer: Brian Brobbey Last Friday was a horror show, so we just need to quickly put it behind us and get back to more solid ground.

It’s not often a team scores five goals from six shots on target so I don’t expect lightning to strike twice, especially from already-relegated Wolves. They have nothing more to lose now, and some have labelled this one a ‘dead rubber’, but we should be looking to finish as highly as possible. You’d also expect us to take charge against a team as poor as Wolves have been this season, and for the Lads to right a few wrongs from last time.
