Wolverhampton Wanderers Espanyol betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The wolves have all the conditions to dominate the first minutes of the game, however, with some defensive cautions. On the other hand, the Spaniards should choose to defend organized and try only the counterattack, but without great danger. It should be noted that Wolverhampton are going through a phase superior to Espanyol. That said, all the ingredients are gathered for the English to achieve a good result in this 1st leg of the Europa League round of 32.

Analysis Wolverhampton

The home team got access to this stage of the UEFA Europa League (16th Finals) after having finished the group stage in the 2nd position of Group K, with 13 points won. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 12 conceded.

In the group stage of the Europa League, the English ended in the 2nd position of Group K, with 13 points added. The Portuguese manager Nuno Espírito Santo should keep the team in 3-4-3, benefiting ball possession and the organized attacks, especially, through the aisles.
