The Black Country derby returns to Molineux as Wolverhampton host West Brom in the English Championship, a fixture that always carries an edge beyond the table.
Wolves come into this one off the back of a 1-0 Championship win over Sheffield United, though a heavily rotated side saw their Carabao Cup run ended by Everton in midweek.
West Brom arrive stubborn and hard to beat, unbeaten in four ahead of the trip to Molineux and determined to spoil the party in front of the home crowd.
This shapes up as a tight, low-scoring derby where discipline and a single moment of quality could decide everything, with the Wolverhampton vs West Brom betting odds favouring the hosts.

Best Bets
Both Teams To Score – No. Backing at least one side to fail to find the net at Molineux. The implied probability of both teams scoring sits at under 48%, making the No the stronger side of this market. With a defensively organised West Brom in town, one clean sheet looks a real possibility.
Under 2.5 Goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The projected total for this fixture sits at 2.46 goals, and the implied probability for Under 2.5 lands at 55%. West Brom's last four Championship outings have all come in under that line, backing up the case for a low-scoring derby.
Wolverhampton vs West Brom Bet Builder
Our four-leg Wolverhampton vs West Brom bet builder tips combine Wolves' attacking output at home with two of the game's busiest players and a card in a fiery derby: Over 1.5 home goals, Mateus Mané and Isaac Price shots, and Ousmane Diakité carded.
Over 1.5 Total Home Goals is the anchor leg. Wolves have scored 2+ goals in 5 of their last 6 Championship matches, so backing them to net at least twice at Molineux makes plenty of sense.
Mateus Mané Over 3.5 shots is a solid add. The wide man has attempted 4+ shots in 3 of his last 5 Championship appearances, showing he is happy to let fly whenever given the space.
Isaac Price Over 0.5 shots on target rounds out the attacking side. Price has recorded 1+ shots on target in 5 of his last 7 Championship appearances, making him a reliable source of shooting from midfield.
Ousmane Diakité to be shown a card completes the builder. In a heated Black Country derby, he is a prime candidate, having been booked in 2 of his last 3 Championship appearances.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 18/1 and is as short as 10/1 elsewhere.

Wolverhampton vs West Brom Talking Points
Wolves finally get back to Molineux after four straight away matches across all competitions, and the derby atmosphere should be roaring. The recently relegated hosts return to winning ways in mind, having beaten Sheffield United last time out, but West Brom will not be intimidated. The Baggies are unbeaten in four and, as West Brom head coach James Morrison noted, a result on enemy turf would deeply cement players into club folklore. West Brom captain George Campbell has spoken of keeping a composed rhythm and sticking to their style in the hostile Molineux environment. With Wolves scoring freely of late yet West Brom keeping games tight, this shapes up as attack against organisation, and a single moment of quality may decide which way this stubborn, low-scoring derby swings.
