Wolves vs Slovan Bratislava Live Stats & Betting Odds
Wolves Prediction – Can Wolves keep rivals at arms length?
Having progressed through the various early qualifying rounds of the Europa League, Wolves have made a good start to their inaugural group campaign in this competition as the west midlands club have won their last 2 group matches on the trot with wins against Besiktas and tonight’s opponents, Slovan Bratislava.
Even more impressive is that both of these Group K wins were achieved away from home, following their Matchday 1 defeat at home to Sporting Braga, but Thursday night’s hosts have bounced back in emphatic fashion since.
Overall results have been fairly solid for Wolves who have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 10 matches in all competitions, which was a west midlands local derby against Aston Villa in the League Cup, but wins over Watford and Manchester City in the Premier League along with their recent back-to-back wins in the Europa League places Nuno Espirito Santo’s side in a strong position ahead of Matchday 4.
Wolves have also won 3 of their 4 Europa League ties at Molineux in this season’s competition, and they’ll be hard to shift on home turf tonight too I fancy.
Slovan Bratislava Prediction – Can Slovan Bratislava avenge recent defeat?
A 2-1 defeat at home to this evening’s hosts, Wolves, on Matchday 3 has put Slovan Bratislava in a tough situation as they prepare for their trip to the west midlands on the back of just 1 win out of their last 4 Europa League ties.
A Matchday 1 win over Turkish side, Besiktas, in a resounding 4-2 victory on home turf at their Národný Futbalový Štadión started Slovan Bratislava’s group campaign off in positive fashion but they’ve since earned just 1 point from their subsequent 2 matches thanks to a 2-2 draw away at Sporting Braga, but no thanks to their recent 2-1 defeat at home to Wolves.
The Slovakian side now face a tough trip to England on Thursday night to take on a solid Wolves outfit, and having won just 4 of their last 12 away ties in the Europa League, this may well see the visitors come a cropper against the quality of their Premier League opposition.
With just 2 clean sheets out of these last 12 away matches at this level, Slovan Bratislava look to have their work cut out if they’re to walk away from Molineux with something.
Key-Facts – Wolves vs Slovan Bratislava
- Wolves have won 3 of their 4 Europa League ties at home to date
- Wolves have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 10 matches in all competitions

Betting Tips Verdict
