Wolverhampton has been quite a fast starter at home as they quickly put the pressure on their visitors in the opening minutes. That strategy should lead to a Wolverhampton taking an advantage into half-time.

The match between Wolverhampton and Port Vale has all the necessary ingredients for plenty of goals. And of course: for both sides - and that's the focus of our bet here.

Therefore, we believe that the Both Teams to Score market is the best recommendation here, as the attacks are working well and, on some occasions, the defenses have been making mistakes.
