History of the Wolverhampton Wanderers v Colchester United fixture

Wolves play host to Colchester United at Molineux on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Wolves.

The last time the two teams met at Wolves was well over fifteen years ago, back in April 1988, with Wolves running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Fourth Division match.
