In that game, Wolverhampton Wanderers had 63% possession and 15 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. For their opponents, Bournemouth got 21 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Antoine Semenyo (37') was the scorer for Bournemouth.

It has been all too rare in recent times where Wolverhampton Wanderers haven’t conceded. The reality is that Wolverhampton Wanderers have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 games, shipping 12 goals during that time.

Since a losing effort in their last game against Brentford in Premier League competition, Luton Town and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that match, Luton Town managed 52% possession and 6 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. The only player to score for Luton Town was Luke Berry (92'). On the other side, Brentford had 21 attempts at goal with 9 on target. Yoane Wissa (24', 45'), Ethan Pinnock (62'), Keane Lewis-Potter (64') and Kevin Schade (86') scored for Brentford.

Luton Town have been good when going forward in the lead-up to this encounter, scoring 6 times in their last 6 matches. Having said that, Luton Town have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same clashes. Regardless, we will just have to wait and see if that trend will be maintained in this upcoming game.

Their prior results show that Luton Town:

• have not beaten Wolverhampton Wanderers in away games against them for the last 3 league games.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 8 league matches. Very poor, indeed.

🗞️ Team News: Wolves

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the lone fitness concern for the Wolves boss Gary O'Neil to contend with from a near full-strength set of players. Pedro Neto (Hamstring injury) misses out.

In all likelihood, Wolves could make use of the 3-4-2-1 system and select Jose Sa, Nelson Semedo, Max Kilman, Toti Gomes, Matt Doherty, Rayan Ait Nouri, Mario Lemina, Boubacar Traore, Pablo Sarabia, Matheus Cunha and Hee-Chan Hwang.

📋 Team News: Luton Town

Luton Town boss Rob Edwards has some current player fitness concerns. Tom Lockyer (heart problems) and Chiedozie Ogbene (unknown injury) miss out here.

There’s a good chance that The Hatters will likely begin the game with a 3-4-2-1 lineup by sending out Thomas Kaminski, Reece Burke, Teden Mengi, Gabriel Osho, Daiki Hashioka, Alfie Doughty, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Ross Barkley, Andros Townsend, Tahith Chong and Carlton Morris.

💡 Prediction

In our view, Luton Town certainly have the ability to find the net against this Wolverhampton Wanderers team, however that realistically won’t be as many as they’ll concede.
