Premiership football betting - Sunderland vs Wolves

Newly-promoted Wolves travel to Steve Bruce`s Sunderland today to play against a side they have not beaten in the league since 1996. Thevisitors are looking to win their first back-to-back games this season while Sunderland will want to get back to winning ways after losing 3-1 last weekend to Burnley, another Premiership newcomer.

The home side go into the match as favourites at 3/4 with Wolves at 4/1. The draw is 13/5.

Sunderland to win 1-0 is the favourite score at 11/2, and 2-0 and 2-1 are both next at 8/1. Wolves to win 1-0 is 15/1 and 2-0 is 35/1. However, maybe the most interesting bet is 1-1 at 13/2 as four of the last eight league meetings between the two has thrown up this score.

 Sunderland`s Darren Bent is favourite to open the scoring at 9/2 ahead of potential strike partners Jones and Cambell, both at 6/1. For Wolves, last year`s top scorer in the Championship Sylvan Ebanks-Blake is most likely to score the first goal at 9/1, just ahead of Kevin Doyle who is at 10/1, probably becasue Ebanks-Blake takes penalties.

The hosts to lead at both half-time and full-time is priced t 19/20, with draw/sunderland at 4/1. Draw/draw is 5/1 with Wolves to win at full-time after drawing at half time at 12/1.

Wolves will hope they can come away with something from this game and the odds show that bookies think they have a chance of doing just that, but Sunderland`s only home defeat this year came to Chelsea, which is nothing to be ashamed of, and they have followed that with wins over Blackburn and Hull.
