History of the Wolverhampton Wanderers v Luton Town fixture

Wolves play host to Luton Town at Molineux on Friday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 6 of the 13 previous games, with the Wolves winning just 5.

The last time the two teams met at Wolves was more than a decade ago, in September 1995, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division One match.
