Sunderland's recent form shows 3 wins in their last 5 matches, while Wolverhampton has only 2 wins. Additionally, Sunderland has scored in 66.7% of their matches this season, indicating a stronger attacking capability, while Wolverhampton has struggled to score, failing to do so in 51.5% of their matches.
