REF’s picks

Wolves should have enough quality to cover the -1.25 handicap at Molineux, as they have been more stable defensively than Bolton recently. While Bolton showed attacking threat in their win against Norwich, their vulnerability on the road and general inconsistency suggest they will struggle to contain a motivated Wolves side looking to climb the table.

1. 1Wolves possess a more disciplined tactical setup, crucial for securing a multi-goal victory at home.
2. 2Bolton's away form remains highly suspect, with significant defensive fragility often exposed against well-organized teams.
3. 3The risk remains that Wolves' injury issues in midfield and defense could limit their fluidity, potentially keeping the scoreline closer than expected.
