This Championship fixture is a game where both teams need points to move up into the top group together. Wolverhampton Wanderers have collected 11 points from 6 matches, while West Bromwich Albion have 14 points from 7 matches. This meeting is therefore a measure of which side can keep its own rhythm going. Wolverhampton Wanderers have just lost 0-1 at home in the League Cup, but in the league they have won 3, drawn 2 and lost 1, scoring 14 and conceding 10. The attack has quality, but the defence shows lapses at times. Meanwhile, West Bromwich Albion are unbeaten in 4 straight matches, with a tight defence and more consistent play, especially in controlling the tempo of the ball slightly better than their opponents. This game is likely to be an exchange of blows with neither side willing to back down. If West Bromwich Albion score first, they will find it even easier and will force the hosts to open up, which is the situation the visitors are good at exploiting on the counter.
