Wolves Face Stoke City in Domestic Cup Match at Molineux

Match Overview

Wolverhampton Wanderers will face Stoke City in a domestic cup match at Molineux. Wolves enter the contest in strong form, having won three of their last four matches and remaining unbeaten in the current campaign.

Stoke City, on the other hand, have struggled for consistency, with only one win in their last six matches. The Potters have also conceded 11 goals in their last six games, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities.

Wolves' Strong Form

Wolves have been in excellent form, scoring in each of their last six matches and finding the net 12 times while conceding only five. Their recent record of four wins and two draws demonstrates their growing defensive and offensive strength.

However, Wolves have not won any of their last four league matches at Molineux. A cup fixture against struggling Stoke provides an opportunity to restore home confidence.

In their most recent EFL Cup match, Wolves defeated Sheffield Wednesday 2-0, with an early own goal from Sil Swinkels and a goal from Saheed Olagunju on the stroke of half-time.

Stoke City's Struggles

Stoke City's recent form has been concerning, with only one win in their last six matches. They have conceded in five of those games and allowed 11 goals in total.

Their most recent EFL Cup match against Hull City ended in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw. Stoke took the lead through Robert Bozenik, but Kieran Dowell equalised before half-time.

Despite showing resilience, Stoke's inability to protect leads has been a recurring issue. This could be particularly costly against a Wolves side that has scored in every one of its last six outings.
