This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premier League, Wolverhampton Wanderers holding 14th place and West Bromwich Albion lying 19th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Wolverhampton Wanderers haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- West Bromwich Albion has the most conceded goals (39) in Premier League
These two clubs are located in the West Midlands in England, in an area called the Black Country. So, when these two teams meet it’s called the Black Country derby. In football the rivalry dates back to their first match in 1883, with a peak in the 1950s when both teams were among the best in the country. Expect a tense match!
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Premier League match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Everton, was also a home game here at Molineux Stadium. The away team is better rested.
Wolverhampton Wanderers form and stats
Overall Premier League stats at home this season for Wolverhampton Wanderers are 3-3-3 (wins-draw-losses).
The Wolves crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Everton here at Molineux Stadium in a Premier League match. Ahead of that match, Wolves won a home game hosting Crystal Palace (1-0).
Wolves are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 9 games. Wolverhampton Wanderers have conceded 10 in these home matches.
West Bromwich Albion form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for West Bromwich Albion, who have the most conceded goals (39) in Premier League, so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-5 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved WBA have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Sheffield Wednesday game.
WBA are looking to quickly end their 188 minutes long goal drought in the Premier League.
WBA are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at Blackpool (after extra-time, 3-2 on penalties). A loss against Arsenal was the result prior to that, in a Premier League home game.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the West Bromwich Albion manager S. Allardyce as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against West Ham United.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting WBA as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. West Bromwich Albion struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 15 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Wolves victories, two draws and six West Bromwich Albion wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
