Wolverhampton Wanderers form and stats

Wolverhampton Wanderers have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Premier League. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Jose Pedro Malheiro de Sa not having conceded a league goal in 180 minutes.

A nice win for Wolverhampton Wanderers last time playing, versus Southampton. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Podence scoring for the victors. A huge relief, as that was the first three points in the league after failing to win eight consecutive matches. Midfielder Nunes was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.04 (out of ten) in that game. Nunes served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times and had 32 successful passes (of 40 total).

Preceding that game was the away draw at AFC Bournemouth that finished 0-0.

Sports bettors who like gambling for low-scoring matches might like knowing that this club have played 5 league fixtures in a row with two or less goals (under 2.5).

Wolves have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. Defensively Wolverhampton Wanderers have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
