In the last six meetings between these two teams, five have ended in a draw or a win by no more than one goal, with the latest meeting in Jul 25 ending 1-1. But this time, Wolverhampton Wanderers host Stoke City as the favorites, and their form from the first two matches of the season clearly supports that view — a 3-1 win over Preston North End (Championship, Aug 22) followed by a 2-0 away win at Sheffield Wednesday in the Carabao Cup on Aug 25. Meanwhile, Stoke City recently lost 1-3 to Southampton (Championship, Aug 22) and drew 1-1 with Hull City in the Carabao Cup on Aug 25. In this match, Wolverhampton Wanderers are expected to dominate possession, and if they score first, the goal difference gap will widen.
