Wolves and Hatters Clash in Pre-Season Friendly: A Battle of Resilience and Ascendancy
Key Stats
– Luton’s Carlton Morris had an impressive record of 20 goals and six assists in 44 Championship appearances last season.
– Both Wolves and Luton remained undefeated in their pre-season games, with Wolves registering two wins and a draw, while Luton had a win and a draw.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, colloquially known as Wolves, are set to welcome the freshly promoted Luton Town to Molineux for a Premier League friendly duel this Wednesday evening. The Wolves managed to stay undefeated in their pre-season exploits with two victories and a draw. In their last match, they achieved a stalemate against Celtic, the reigning Scottish champions. On the other hand, the Hatters turned the tables on Sheffield Wednesday, overcoming a deficit to triumph 2-1.
A Testing Season Ahead for Wolves
In the face of continuous speculation about the future of their manager, Julen Lopetegui, Wolves have maintained an impressive pre-season form. Their pre-season warm-up began with a victory against Vitoria de Guimaraes, followed by a triumphant game against Porto. A late 86th-minute equalizer by Matheus Cunha salvaged a draw against Celtic.

Despite the on-pitch success, concerns persist off the pitch. Lopetegui reportedly seems discontented with the dearth of new signings as the transfer deadline approaches. The club’s financial constraints are reportedly obstructing incoming transfers. The departure of key players such as Ruben Neves to Al-Hilal, Raul Jiminez, Conor Coady, and Nathan Collins has further compounded the concerns.
Finishing 13th last season, Wolves managed to stay afloat, seven points clear of the relegation zone. However, their offensive record was the least impressive in the division. As they gear up for the 2023-24 season, they will be keen to overcome these challenges and reinvent their game.
Luton Town: An Impressive Ascendancy
Luton Town kicked off their pre-season preparations with a draw against Ipswich Town, followed by a victorious match against Sheffield Wednesday. A key figure in their campaign so far is Carlton Morris, who demonstrated his scoring prowess with a 75th-minute penalty in the Ipswich match and a decisive goal against Sheffield Wednesday.
Morris, known for his impressive tally of 20 goals and six assists in 44 Championship appearances last season, is once again proving his worth. Guided by the highly-rated manager Rob Edwards, Luton Town’s impressive ascent to the Premier League after a gap of three decades speaks volumes of their potential.
Predictions
- Match Outcome: Draw – Given that both Wolves and Luton have had a promising pre-season, the match is anticipated to be a fiercely contested one, making a draw a plausible outcome. Both teams have remained unbeaten in their friendlies, with Wolves boasting a record of two wins and a draw, while Luton have recorded a win and a draw.
- Correct Score: 1-1 – This prediction is supported by Wolves’ defensive statistics. Despite losing key players, their robust defence has allowed fewer goals, as seen in their clean sheet record. Luton’s attack, led by Morris, can be expected to find the net at least once. On the other side, Wolves’ offensive challenges make it unlikely for them to score more than one goal.
- Goalscorer: Carlton Morris – Given his spectacular performance in the Championship, where he netted 20 goals, Morris is the leading candidate to score for Luton. His contribution to the pre-season games, including a penalty goal and a decisive winner, only strengthens this prediction.
