How Wolves Have Lined Up Recently

Last time out, they narrowly lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace. Wolves’ defence was organised despite a red card and conceding late. However, results (and points) have been hard to come by, and they remain at the foot of the Premier League table. Against Palace, José Sá started in goal behind a back three of Ladislav Krejčí, Santiago Bueno, and Yerson Mosquera.

The midfield consisted of Hugo Bueno, André, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Mateus Mané, and Jackson Tchatchoua. The attack was spearheaded by Tolu Arokodare and Adam Armstrong.

Wolves Recent Form & Tactics

It’s been a challenging campaign for the Wanderers, with goals hard to come by and points few and far between. The side’s recent results reflect a team low on confidence but high on effort, with draws coming against stronger sides and defeats often by narrow margins.

Under Edwards, thwyhave changed between a 3-5-2 and 3-4-2-1 shape, seeking balance between defensive cover and attacking threat. The flexibility in midfield allows players like João Gomes and André to rotate between creative and defensive duties.
