Wolves can’t be touched at 1.61
Wolves are favoured at 1.61 for Saturday's home game against Cardiff City FC, but it is still worth backing them to beat the Bluebirds at Molineux. Wolves have enjoyed an up and down season so far, winning 2, drawing 1 and losing 2 of their last 5 games. But they have come good in their last 3 outings at Molineux, where they have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 1.
Cardiff are in decent form themselves, having avoided defeat in four of their last five games (Won 3, drawn 1, lost 1), but the Bluebirds still have some catching up to do. Wolves are fourth in the Championship 2026/2027 with 21 points from 12 games, while Cardiff are down in 16th place with 14 points from the same number of fixtures.
Bluebirds lack bite on the road
Away form
At 4.75, the visitors look worth a flutter to end Wolves' run at home, but Cardiff's away form has been consistently poor all season. They have taken 0 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from their two away trips.
Cardiff's recent away results have been better, but the 2-2 draw at Middlesbrough has hardly established a trend.
Match outlook
This is a game Wolves will come at positively and, while they may not be the most positive side in the division, have the attacking weapons to unlock Cardiff's defence.
Wolves will win, but it could be close
Tactics
Cesar Peixoto's 4-2-3-1 system allows Wolves to be adaptable with the ball, where they can either dominate the possession or sit back and pick their spots, and selective high pressure, with the ability to close up in a compact block in central areas. That should suit them against a Cardiff side that like to play wide and press high.
Players & stats
- Jack Moylan has scored 3 Championship 2026/2027 goals in eight appearances, but has been directly involved in five of the 11 Cardiff goals in their last five fixtures.
- Fer Lopez has been Wolves' key danger man in 2026/2027 with four goals in seven appearances and he will be looking to add to that tally in this game.
- Wolves score 1.67 and concede 1.17 at their place in the Championship 2026/2027, so the likely result here is a home win, and it could be a close one.
Betting
Backing Wolves & over 2.5 goals at 1.48 looks a better option than the win alone and still fits the way both sides like to set up. Both teams to score at 1.5 also appeals in this matchup, although Wolves are the clear pick of the two.
