Wolves Preview & Form
Wolverhampton’s decision to replace Gary O’Neil with Vitor Pereira is beginning to be the best decision. The former Porto boss has made an immediate impact on his team, as they are currently playing with huge confidence while also getting the right run of results in the battle to move out of the relegation zone after initially spending most of this season in it. Vitor Pereira’s stint at the club has seen it record three unbeaten runs since making his coaching debut at the Molineux Stadium, winning two and playing a draw. His first game in charge saw Wolves beat Leicester City by 3-0 at King Power Stadium, and then he followed it up with another impressive 2-0 victory against Manchester United on their home soil on Boxing Day. His final game in 2024 saw them being held to a frustrating 2-2 draw against struggling Tottenham away from home last weekend. Currently, they sit a place above the relegation zone with 16 points earned.
Vitor Pereira has also brought hope to the Molineux stadium with his team having won their last home league game impressively against Manchester United, and he will now hope his side can now build on it.
