The Black Country derby is back at Molineux, and this is one of the loudest games on the Championship calendar. Wolverhampton vs West Brom carries edge, history and a Sunday morning kickoff for US viewers.
Wolverhampton got back on track by beating Sheffield United 1-0 last time out, though a heavily rotated side saw their Carabao Cup run ended by Everton in midweek. The hosts are marginal favorites here.

Wolverhampton vs West Brom Prediction & Best Picks
Our Prediction
Our prediction is a 1-1 tie. Wolverhampton are the marginal home favorites and carry the sharper attack, but a stubborn West Brom side unbeaten in four should make this a tight, low-scoring derby that ends level at Molineux.
Best Picks
Back 'No' in the Both Teams To Score market for this Black Country derby clash at Molineux. This falls in the Both Teams To Score market. The model leans toward at least one side blanking, with the projection pointing under a coin flip for both teams finding the net, and derbies this cagey tend to squeeze the space up top.
Back Under 2.5 Goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. This sits squarely in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The projected total lands right around two-and-a-half, and it lines up with West Brom's recent trend of keeping the goal count low across their last four Championship games, so the value points low.
Wolverhampton vs West Brom Same Game Parlay
Our four-leg Same Game Parlay backs Wolves Over 1.5 Total Home Goals, Mateus Mané Over 3.5 shots, Isaac Price Over 0.5 shots on target, and Ousmane Diakité to be shown a card.
Leg one leans on the hosts' firepower. Wolves landed 2+ goals across 5 of their last 6 Championship outings, so backing Over 1.5 Total Home Goals fits their attacking profile at Molineux.
Leg two targets Mateus Mané, who has pulled the trigger for 4+ shots in 3 of his last 5 Championship appearances. The Over 3.5 shots line suits a wide man who keeps pulling the trigger.
Leg three backs Isaac Price, who has put 1+ shots on target in 5 of his last 7 Championship starts. Over 0.5 shots on target is a steady lean for the West Brom playmaker.
Leg four eyes the cards. Ousmane Diakité has picked up a booking in 2 of his last 3 Championship games, and a heated derby only raises the likelihood of him seeing yellow.
At the time of writing, this Same Game Parlay pays a best price of +1800 and is as short as +1000 elsewhere. That price gap works out to $80 more on a $10 stake at the longer end.
