Wolverhampton Wanderers form and stats
The story so far in the Premier League for Wolverhampton Wanderers at their home stadium (Molineux Stadium) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
D. Podence was the last player to score a league goal for Wolverhampton Wanderers and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Wolves haven't scored in 228 minutes.
The Wolves crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Aston Villa here at Molineux Stadium in a Premier League match. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-4 away at Liverpool.
Heartbreak for Wolverhampton Wanderers in their last match as Aston Villa's A. El-Ghazi scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
