Wolves vs West Brom Prediction

Wolverhampton Wanderers host West Bromwich Albion on 20 September 2026 at 14:00 in a Black Country derby that pits two in-form sides against each other.

West Brom arrive undefeated in their last four league matches, drawing 1-1 with QPR at the weekend after registering 12 shots and 1.22 expected goals. Defender Brayann Pereira returns from suspension for the visitors.
