Wolverhampton Wanderers form and stats

Playing away, Wolverhampton Wanderers have won 3 games, drawn 2 and suffered 3 defeats in the Premier League this season.

The attacking players of Wolverhampton Wanderers have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 392 minutes.

There might be some fixture complaints from Wolves as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Premier League match against Manchester City (0-1). Wolves goalie Sá could enjoy a superb day's work vs Manchester City, but even with making eight saves the defeat could not be stopped. José Sá was the team player of the game with the player rating of 8.12. The agile goalkeeper Sá stopped the opponent with eight saves.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Liverpool.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, one draw and two defeats. From a total of six matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Wolves are hosting Chelsea in the Premier League only four days away.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Wolves are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 7 times in 8 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
