Vitor Pereira's side, along with West Ham, have yet to earn a point in the new championship. Moreover, only Wolverhampton and Aston Villa have not scored after two matches.

Notably, the club's winless streak in the Premier League has reached six matches (1 draw and 5 losses).

Liverpool's side started the current championship with a 0-1 away defeat to Leeds. However, in the next round, the team redeemed themselves by overcoming Brighton 2-0.

Wolverhampton vs. Everton: Match Prediction
The hosts have no choice but to aim for victory in this match. The team has been unable to win in their last six Premier League matches, and another defeat could put Vitor Pereira's job at risk. I expect Wolverhampton to attack throughout the match, finally score their first goal of the current championship, and earn their first points.
Wolverhampton rarely leaves their home field without scoring. In their last 22 Premier League matches at Molineux, the club has failed to score only four times. The visitors are also likely to find the net, having become noticeably more aggressive in attack this year, failing to score in only 3 of their last 10 away Premier League matches. Additionally, both teams scored in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings at this stadium in the league.
My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
