Football betting tips: Championship
1pt Wolves to win (Draw No Bet) at 13/8 (bet365)
1pt Wolves-Draw (Double Chance) & BTTS at 6/4 (General)
0.5pt Fer Lopez to score anytime at 4/1 (General)
0.5pt Lopez 1+ assists at 13/2 (Ladbrokes, Coral)
After a shaky opening night that needed a controversial stoppage-time penalty from Raul Jimenez to salvage a 2-2 draw at home to relegation candidates Blackburn, Wolves look to have quickly found their feet under new boss Cesar Peixoto.
Three straight wins, nine goals scored and just two conceded bodes well for a trip to Championship promotion rivals West Ham, whose only victory this season came in a Carabao Cup trip to Southampton - although that was an impressive 4-1 thrashing.
Defensive shortcomings have cost Nuno’s men thus far, blowing a 2-0 lead at Burnley to draw, conceding twice in defeat at home by Charlton and falling behind at Watford before managing to battle to a draw.
It makes little sense for the Hammers to be odds-on and makes a lot more to back WOLVES DRAW NO BET at 13/8.
Given there has been no clean sheet across these sides' combined six league matches, with plenty of chances given up by both, WOLVES DOUBLE CHANCE & BTTS is also taken at 6/4.
FER LOPEZ has been Wolves’ standout player across the opening month of the campaign, thriving on his return from a loan spell at former club Celta Vigo.
The Spanish number 10 has SCORED OR ASSISTED in every match he has started, with three goals and two assists altogether.
At 13/2 for 1+ ASSISTS and 4/1 TO SCORE ANYTIME I’ll spread my stake across both rather than take the vastly reduced 17/10 most firms are willing to put up in the combined market.
Odds correct at 12:00 BST (1/9/26)
