Wolverhampton Wanderers form and stats

Wolverhampton Wanderers are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two Premier League games here at Molineux Stadium. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Wolves, their manager B. Nascimento and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Happy days for Wolves in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Watford (placed 15th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. João Moutinho (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.61/10. Moutinho hit four key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 45 successful passes (of 48 total).

Before that game, the home loss against Manchester United with the scoreline 0-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Wolves have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won four times, drawn three and lost zero.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Wolves as they have a new game in only four days, a Carabao Cup match thankfully also at home. Tottenham Hotspur are visiting.

Wolverhampton Wanderers has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
