According to the xPTS metric, the Wolves should have accumulated four points, as their performances have been decent, but poor finishing has held them back. The League Cup is the competition where Vítor Pereira's side finally found some success. In the previous round, they staged a comeback victory against an equally struggling West Ham (3-2), thanks to a brace from substitute Jørgen Strand Larsen.
