Wolverhampton
Vítor Pereira's side, along with West Ham, have yet to earn a point in the new championship. Wolverhampton and Aston Villa are also the only teams yet to score after two matches. In the first round, they suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat at home to Manchester City, followed by a 0-1 loss away to Bournemouth. The club's winless streak in the Premier League has now reached six matches (1 draw and 5 losses).
The club has loaned defender Ladislav Krejčí from Girona.
- At least one team failed to score in 6 of Wolverhampton's last 8 league matches.

Everton
The Liverpool side started the current championship with a 0-1 away defeat to Leeds. However, they bounced back in the next round, defeating Brighton 2-0. The loss to the Premier League newcomers is the only defeat for David Moyes' side in their last six league matches (4 wins and 1 draw).

Wolverhampton vs. Everton: Match Prediction
The hosts have no choice but to aim for a victory in this match. The team has not won in their last six Premier League matches, and another defeat could put Vítor Pereira's job at risk. I expect Wolverhampton to attack throughout the match, finally scoring their first goal of the championship and earning their first points.
Wolverhampton rarely leaves their home ground without scoring. In their last 22 home Premier League matches at Molineux, the club failed to score only four times. The visitors are also likely to score, having shown more attacking prowess this year, failing to score in only 3 of their last 10 away Premier League games. Notably, both teams scored in 4 of their last 5 encounters at this stadium in the league.
My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
