Wolverhampton Wanderers: Fight for Survival

Wolves are having a tough season, standing just above the relegation zone with 16 points from the 21 matches so far. Their overall record – 4 wins, 4 draws, and 13 losses – reflects these struggles.

At home, Wolves have won only 2 and drawn 1 of 10 matches, and 7 losses indicate that they cannot make the most of home ground. The latest 3-0 defeat by Newcastle United doesn’t make things any better for the team as they have conceded 48 goals this season, which is the second worst record in the league.

Vítor Pereira needs to lift the team’s morale while trying to plug the holes on defense. Despite this, the Wolves have managed to score 31 times this season, so there are indications of a quick attack. That is the job for Pereira-to balance the solidity at the back with swift attacks to surpass Arsenal.
