Wolves play host to Scunthorpe United at Molineux on Tuesday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Wolves have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.
The last time the two teams met at Wolves was amazingly over twenty years ago, in August 1987, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a Fourth Division match.

Recent respective form guides
Wolverhampton Wanderers are not in the best of form at home, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats in their last six. While Wolves have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of Scunthorpe U. is pretty dire, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. Iron have conceded 12 goals in these games, and only hit 2 in reply.
Wolves's 44 points from 32 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position. Scunthorpe U. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 33 games have yielded only 31 points.

FootyMad's prediction ...
The current home form displayed by Wolves is obviously none too clever, but, with the current standing of Scunthorpe U., I firmly believe this match can only produce a victory for the Wolves. Home Win
