Wolves vs Preston – Both Wolverhampton Wanderers and Preston North End have had erratic beginnings to the season going into their EFL Cup second-round matchup on Tuesday night.
The home team has lost all three of its Premier League games, while Preston, although being unbeaten, has just seven points after five Championship games.
In an effort to improve Wolves’ performance in the final third, Bruno Lage has shifted to a back four this season, and his team looks far more aesthetically pleasing than they did when using a back three.
Wolves, on the other hand, have now gone nearly three Premier League games without scoring, with their most recent loss occurring on Saturday when they were defeated 1-0 at Tottenham Hotspur.
The West Midlands team, who gave Matheus Nunes and Goncalo Guedes their first debuts, looked like a class act in the first 45 minutes, but they couldn’t match Spurs’ progress after the break.
Although Lage has made it clear that he wants to add another striker, his existing group of forwards needs to improve in the final third after displaying a lack of poise in North London.
Wolves vs Preston – Betting Analysis
Wolves are currently in 17th place in the Premier League, while Preston are ninth in the Championship after a strange run of results. In five games, Ryan Lowe has seen his team produce four scoreless draws, with the most recent one occurring at home against Watford last weekend.
Brad Potts’ miraculous goal against Luton Town remains Preston’s only second-tier goal, but the club has not given up a goal in any of its five Championship games this season.
In the first round of this competition, they ran wild at the John Smith’s Stadium, registering a 4-1 victory over a Huddersfield Town team that was in transition.
Preston will bet on pulling off an upset against Wolves’ four-match winning streak in this matchup because Wolves haven’t won a match since defeating Aston Villa on April 2.
