Wolves play host to Barnsley at Molineux on Monday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Wolves are clearly on top, having won 20 and lost only 7 of the 35 games.
The last time the two teams met at Wolves was back in November 2001, over five years ago, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides
Wolverhampton Wanderers losing only 1 of the last six, but drawing 4 of them. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 10 to 9.
The away form of Barnsley is pretty dire, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. Tykes have conceded 11 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.
Wolves's 39 points from 26 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position. Barnsley are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 26 points from 26 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
The current home form displayed by Wolves is obviously none too clever, but, with the current standing of Barnsley, I firmly believe this match can only produce a victory for the Wolves. Home Win
