Wolves vs Stoke City is a Championship clash at Molineux on Saturday at 12.30pm, with the relegated hosts strong favourites to continue a bright start.

The Old Gold won impressively at Preston last weekend while Stoke were beaten at Southampton, and the market makes the hosts heavy favourites. Anthony Eadson has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record below.

Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson is with Wolves, who look a class above and are chasing an immediate return to the top flight.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Wolves to Win & BTTS9/4 (with bet365)Wolves won 3-1 at Preston last weekend and, fresh from relegation, are among the favourites for automatic promotion. Stoke were beaten 3-1 at Southampton and look a level below at Molineux. Wolves looked much more like Championship winners against Preston than in their opener against Rovers. However, they have conceded in both matches and backing them to win and both teams score looks like a wise wager here.
Fer Lopez to score anytime28/13 (with BetMGM)Fer Lopez put in a stunning showing against Preston North End last week, in a game where he was named man of the match. The 22-year-old Spaniard scored the opening goal of the game before sealing the victory with a second strike in the 83rd minute. He also found the net in the League Cup first round and looks too big a price to continue his strong start to the season against Stoke.

How Wolverhampton Wanderers go into the game

Wolves made a statement with a 3-1 win at Preston last weekend, exactly the kind of away performance promotion sides produce. Molineux will expect a home win to match.

Relegated from the Premier League, Wolves have the quality to target automatic promotion (the top two). A dominant display at home is the expectation here.

How Stoke City go into the game

Stoke were beaten 3-1 at Southampton last time out, exposed by sharper opponents. They travel to Molineux knowing another tough afternoon could be in store.

Stoke can be awkward opponents but were second best last week. Keeping a rampant Wolves side quiet for 90 minutes is a huge ask.
