Recent respective form guides

Wolverhampton Wanderers's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Wolves have scored 6, a worringly large 17 have been leaked at the other end.

Middlesbrough's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Boro have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Wolves find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 33 games have yielded only 25 points. Middlesbrough's 45 points from 33 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position.
