Overview of Wolverhampton Betting Odds
Wolverhampton has had a rough start to their 2024/25 season. The odds for this team have changed since the Premier League campaign began. There could be changes in the coaching department, with current results disappointing many loyal club fans. In contrast, there have been a few surprises, with Norwegian Jorgen Strand Larsen and Brazilian Matheus Cunha displaying top-tier goal-scoring prowess.
Key Factors to Consider When Betting on Wolverhampton
Despite spending millions of pounds during the offseason, Wolverhampton Wolves have had their fair share of challenges in the 2024/25 season. The squad has displayed weaknesses in defending against set pieces and winger attacks.
They dropped out of the EFL (Carabao) Cup in the earlier stages and fell to the bottom of the Premier League table after the first part of the season. Gary O’Neil seems to be on the hot seat with the next manager odds indicating that candidates like Sergio Conceicao and Pedro Martins will possibly be new coaches if Gary O’Neil gets sacked mid-season.
Stats show that the Wolves have the most issues on the defensive end, seeing their conceded goals figure balloon to well over 2 per game. The summer sale of their main defensive anchor, Maximilian Kilman, seems to be extremely costly. That said, their offence can balance out the odds as through the first 15 rounds, Wolves managed to bag 23 goals – tied for 10th best result in the Premiership.
Wolverhampton Premier League Odds for 2024-25
If you are interested in Wolverhampton Premier League odds – let’s cover them.
Throughout the first 15 rounds, Gary O’Neil’s squad managed only 2 wins and are starting to see their chances of staying in the Premier League in jeopardy. However, the two consecutive wins they managed to achieve were bagged in a very solid, impressive manner. The Molineux side ended a 10-round winless drought with a 2:0 rout of Southampton and a 4:1 steamroller over Fulham.
Yet their loss 4:0 to Everton just 2 rounds later showed just how fragile their defence is. Stats show that through the first 15 rounds, Wolverhampton has by far the worst guard, conceding 38 total goals, 7 more than the next closest team in the competition.
Most fans and experts think that Wolves have the talent to turn things around and avoid relegation. However, it seems highly likely that Gary O’Neil won’t be the man at the helm to oversee this objective. The Wolverhampton Premier League Odds for 2024-25 reflect their tricky situation.
Wolverhampton EFL Cup Odds for 2024-25
This year’s Carabao or EFL Cup started well for the Molineux side. They won 2:0 against Championship side Burnley at home, with Goncalo Guedes netting a brace. However, on the 18th of September, in the 3rd round, they faced a powerful foe in Brighton & Hove Albion.
Some could call the draw unlucky as they faced a Championship and a Premiership side in the first two games, respectively. In Brighton and Hove, on the 18th of September, in front of 16 thousand fans, Wolverhampton had their hands full, starting down two goals before the aforementioned Goncalo Guedes narrowed Brighton’s lead to a single score.
In the second half, Brighton scored again and led 3:1 just before stoppage time, where Wolves’ Thomas Doyle netted a goal to once more narrow Brighton’s lead. Yet, Gary O’Neil’s squad couldn’t equalise before the referee blew the final whistle. Just as odds predicted, the major underdog went down. At the same time, Wolverhampton did defy the odds a bit and provided a close and exciting contest for all fans.
Wolverhampton FA Cup Odds for 2024-25
All 20 of the Premier League’s teams will start their FA Cup campaign for 2024-25 in the 3rd round. The Wolverhampton Wanderers should see the first game on the 11th of January, 2025. Before then, a draw will determine their foe. Until then, it is a complete unknown who they will play and what their odds can look like.
In general, FA Cup odds for Wolverhampton from experts’ POV seem to put them in an underdog position. Nevertheless, with so many surprises in the 2024-25 season, they could turn their campaign around and create a surprise.
Wolverhampton Manager Odds for 2024-25
If we are talking about the sack race, Wolverhampton are listed among the squads, most likely to fire their manager before the season ends.
Last year, Wolves finished 14th – their worst-ever position since being promoted back to the Premiership in 2018/19. Despite this, Gary O’Neil retained the trust of the board and remained at the helm for the start of 2024/25.
Since the season started, however, the results of the squad have been disappointing, to say the least. Wolverhampton risk facing relegation and struggle to defend in key possessions.
Since Nuno Espirito Santo left Wolverhampton back in 2021, they haven’t been able to find a coach capable of steering this ship in the right direction.

Even though Wolverhampton sold their star players Pedro Neto and Max Kilman to Premier League rivals, as it stands right now, they didn’t manage to find comparable replacements from Andre or Rodrigo Gomes. Tommy Doyle has been producing solid minutes, but it might take some more time for other arrivals to settle in.

Pedro Neto | Chelsea | €60.00m | |

The departures of Pedro Neto and Max Kilman netted Wolves 107.50 million Euros. At the time, it seemed like a good deal for them. However, their 2024/25 odds would definitely be better if they could have kept these strong players for this season. The departures of other players didn’t hurt the Molineux side so much.
