Will Wolves Set A New Premier League Low?
For 18 years, Derby County players have had to live with the ignominy of posting the lowest points total in a Premier League campaign.
Billy Davies' side got off to a terrible start, picking up just four points from 14 matches before he was sacked on November 26, 2007.
Paul Jewell replaced him, but the team's struggles continued as they finished bottom of the table with just 11 points, from one win and eight draws.
Comparison Between Derby (07/08) & Wolves (25/26):
However, there is a chance the Rams associated with that forgettable time in the club's history are lef off the hook this season, as Wolves are on course to take over that unwanted piece of history.
After 16 games, Wolves have two points and are on course to finish with just five points, which would smash Derby's paltry total.
Wolves are overwhelming favourites on football betting sites to be relegated this season.
Gambling.com takes a deep dive into the troubles at Molineux and how Wolves can write their name into Premier League infamy.
How Many Points Will Wolves Win?
Right now, Wolves have two points from 16 games played, which works out to be 0.12 points per game.
If they remain on that trajectory, they will end the campaign with just five points, beating Derby's record by SIX points.
Wolves Points Total Odds:
Points Bracket | Odds | Probability |
2 to 10 | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Exactly 11 | 5/4 | 44.4% |
12+ | 4/5 | 55.6% |
Wolves are 2/1 to fall short of Derby's dismal total and they are 4/5 to somehow find a way to finish the season with a minimum 12 points.
Nine more points over the remaining 22 games will see Rob Edwards' side tie with the Rams on 11 points.

When Will Wolves Win Their First Game?
When Tolu Arokodare scored in the 90th minute, it looked like being an equaliser to secure a third point of the season at the Premier League leaders Arsenal.
However, Yerson Mosquera's 94th minute own-goal broke Wolves hearts, which condemned the visitors to a ninth successive league defeat.
Wolves are 14 points from safety and face a difficult run of fixtures either side of Christmas and the new year. Where will they get their first win of the season?
Next up is a home game on Saturday against Brentford, who have taken just one point from their last three games.
Wolves' Odds Of Winning Their Next Five Fixtures:
Date | Fixture | Odds | Probability | ||
Dec 20 | WOLVES | Vs | Brentford | 4/6 | 60% |
Dec 27 | Liverpool | Vs | WOLVES | 4/1 | 20% |
Dec 30 | Man Utd | Vs | WOLVES | 3/1 | 25% |
Jan 3 | WOLVES | Vs | West Ham | 1/2 | 66.7% |
Jan 7 | Everton | Vs | WOLVES | 7/5 | 41.7% |
Wolves are 4/6 to beat Keith Andrews' side who have lost their last four games on the road.
Following that fixture, they face Liverpool (4/1) at Anfield on December 27. An away game at Manchester United (3/1) on December 30 is a chance to end a dismal year on a high.
West Ham (1/2) are Wolves' first opponents of 2026, hoping a new year brings a change of fortune.
After that, Wolves make their first trip to Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium on January 7. The league's basement side are 7/5 to win that game.
Goal Struggles Are Part Of The Problem:
Wolves have the worst defence in the Premier League, with 35 goals conceded.
At the other end of the pitch, they have only scored nine times, and one of those was Bart Verbruggen's own goal in a 1-1 draw with Brighton in October.
Wolves Goalscorers This Season:
Another was Jorgen Strand Larsen's penalty in their 3-2 defeat at home to fellow relegation battlers Burnley.
No Wolves player has managed to score multiple goals this season.
How Many Goals Will Wolves Score?
The future does not look good for Wolves. They look like they will return to the Championship next season.
Edwards may have been brought in to replace Vitor Pereira to keep the club in the top flight, but that decision might also have been made with next season in mind.
