Sunday, at 16:00, Wolverhampton has a great chance of climbing the Premier League standings after playing Huddersfield on his own. The match counts for the 13th round of the championship, and Nuno Espirito Santo’s “wolves” have an appealing victory.
With a 4-4-4 balance after 12 stages, Wolverhampton has reached the bottom half of the standings, despite an exceptional season start. The newly-promoted Midlands is ranked 11th (golaveeraj 12-13), but still has no relegation emotions, thanks to the victories won in the first part of the championship. Huddersfield, on the other hand, has a lot of work to do for the next season in the first league: David Wagner’s band is on the 19th place (goalie 6-22) and does not seem to have the necessary offensive force to dominate his opponents in England.
Huddersfield has the moral advantage of direct matches.
Interestingly, Huddersfield won the last three direct duels between the two bands, but all this took place in the second run in 2016 and 2017. All three successes were scored with the same score, 1-0, and guests hope to win can repeat the challenge with a perfect defensive play on Molineux. Right, Huddersfield’s momentary shape seems to be on a slight rise. After losing to Liverpool and losing to the limit (0-1), the “terriers” won with Fulham (1-0) and drew with West Ham United (1-1). Moreover, the “hammer” draw was somehow unfair and Huddersfield could have won the match.
Wolverhampton comes after a negative series but the previous round drew to Arsenal (1-1) and showed positive things in the game. This draw halted a series of three consecutive failures in front of Watford (0-2), Brighton (0-1) and Tottenham (2-3). It is certain that Wolves has good attitude, technique and organization, and Huddersfield will give the hosts all their possessions, trying to defend a valuable rematch, away.
That is why we will bet on the dominance of Wolverhampton, a band that has much more quality than its opponent. The first goal will be decisive, because statistics show us an important thing: together, 14 of the last 16 matches played by the two bands ended with less than three goals scored! You can also try a bet on a Wolverhampton handicap victory.

Wolverhampton: Rui Patricio – R. Bennett, Coady, Boly – Doherty, Moutinho, R. Neves, Vinagre – H. Costa, R. Jimenez, Cavaleiro
