- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Pedro Lima, as he is very good at scoring at Molineux Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sunderland AFC that had 363 games and scored 478 goals.
- 17' Goal! Nordi Mukiele scores his 16 goal in 513 matches.
- 22' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 22 minutes.
- 24' Daniel Ballard is having his name booked by the referee on 24.
- 29' Noah Sadiki has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 40 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 34' Sunderland AFC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Nordi Mukiele scoring 1 goals.
- 39' It looks like no one’s ball. Wolverhampton Wanderers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 44' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Sunderland AFC winning 50% of all matches.

- 66' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 71' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Adam Armstrong suffering a number of foals already.
- 76' Sunderland AFC is showing some good football. However, Sunderland AFC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
