Wolverhampton Wanderers vs West Bromwich Albion Preview
Wolverhampton Wanderers sit 14th in the Championship, their form a mixed bag of draws and narrow wins under Cesar Peixoto. A recent draw followed by a loss has stalled momentum at Molineux. Kieran Trippier and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde are back in training but unlikely to start, while new signing Bertrand Traore could make his debut. Ghislain Konan remains unavailable, and Rafiki Said is expected to resume full training imminently.
West Bromwich Albion occupy third place, propelled by two consecutive wins before a draw and a loss to Derby County. James Morrison's side will be without winger Mikey Johnston, sidelined with a complex ankle injury, and defender Nolan Galves, whose knee problem sustained against Derby looks serious. Brayann Pereira serves a suspension after his red card in that same fixture. On a brighter note, Jimmy-Jay Morgan collected the EA Sports FC EFL Young Player of the Month award for August.
The draw or away double chance selection rests on West Brom's superior league position, sitting third in the table with two wins and a draw from their last three outings. Wolves, by contrast, have managed just one victory in five, collecting draws and a defeat along the way. The Baggies' historical dominance in this derby is striking: eight wins from fourteen meetings since 2006, compared to only three for Wolves.
West Brom do face complications. Brayann Pereira serves a suspension after his red card against Derby, while Nolan Galves could join Mikey Johnston on the sidelines with a knee injury. Still, James Morrison's squad has the depth and momentum to cope. The away win at 4.22 carries genuine appeal, and the draw at 3.58 provides a safety net within the double chance framework.
Both teams to score also warrants attention, priced at 1.75. This fixture has produced goals at both ends in roughly seven out of every ten recent meetings. Wolves will have home support driving them forward, and potential debutant Bertrand Traore offers attacking quality. West Brom, meanwhile, have the third-best attack-minded record in the division. Expect an open, combative Black Country derby with neither side keeping a clean sheet.
