Wolves Vs West Brom brings together a rivalry with a clear recent pattern: Wolves have won only one of their last eight league games against West Bromwich Albion, while West Brom have won both of their last two league visits to Wolves.
That makes the fixture feel more finely balanced than the broader history might suggest, even if the recent numbers have leaned in West Brom's direction. Wolves did beat West Brom 3-1 in the Premier League in May 2011, but the more recent league record has not gone their way.
Recent head-to-head trends
West Brom's away record in this fixture is a notable part of the story. They have taken two of their last two league visits to Wolves, which gives them a clear edge when the game is played at Wolves' ground. The wider league sequence also points the same way, with Wolves managing just one win in eight.
There is also a historical note attached to the matchup. West Brom last won three league games in a row at Wolves in February 1931, underlining how long stretches of this rivalry can turn on small margins and timing.
Late goals could matter again
This season, Wolves have already shown a habit of striking late in the Championship. They have scored four late goals in the league, and Raúl Jiménez has been central to that pattern. Two of his three league goals this term have come in the 90th minute, which gives Wolves a late threat if the game remains tight.
For West Brom, that means the closing stages are unlikely to be comfortable if the scoreline stays level. For Wolves, it offers a route back into a matchup that has recently favoured their opponents, especially in league meetings at home.
