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 left off the hook this season, as Wolves are on course to take over that unwanted piece of history.
After 15 games, Wolves have two points, and are on course to smash Derby's record with a paltry total of just five points.
They 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 15 games played, which works out to be 0.13 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 | 3/1 | 25% |
Exactly 11 | 6/4 | 40% |
12+ | 4/6 | 60% |
Wolves are 3/1 to to fall short of Derby's dismal total and they are 4/6 to somehow find a way to secure 10 more points between now and their final fixture, which is a trip to Burnley on May 24.
Nine more points over the remaining 23 games will see Rob Edwards' side tie with the Rams.

When Will Wolves Win Their First Game?
After losing 4-1 at home to Manchester United, Wolves are 13 points from safety and face a difficult run of fixtures. Where will Wolves get their first win of the season?
Next up is a trip to leaders Arsenal, who will be looking to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa.
Wolves are 7/1 to beat Mikel Arteta's side who have their sights set on ending their 21-year wait for their next title.
Wolves' Odds Of Winning Their Next Five Fixtures:
Date | Fixture | Odds | Probability | ||
Dec 13 | Arsenal | Vs | WOLVES | 7/1 | 12.5% |
Dec 20 | WOLVES | Vs | Brentford | 4/5 | 55.6% |
Dec 27 | Liverpool | Vs | WOLVES | 5/1 | 16.7% |
Dec 30 | Man Utd | Vs | WOLVES | 4/1 | 20% |
Jan 3 | WOLVES | Vs | West Ham | 4/7 | 63.6% |
Following that fixture, they welcome Brentford (4/5) to Molineux before facing Liverpool (5/1) at Anfield on December 27.
The year ends at Manchester United (4/1), before West Ham (4/7) are Wolves' first opponents of 2026, hoping a new year brings a change of fortune.
It is possible Wolves fail to add to their meagre total of points before the calendar turns.
Goal Struggles Are Part Of The Problem:
Wolves have the worst defence in the Premier League, with Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes making it 33 goals conceded with his side's fourth at Molineux.
At the other end of the pitch, they have only scored eight goals, and one of those was Bart Verbruggen's own goal in a 1-1 draw with Brighton in October.
Another was Jorgen Strand Larsen's penalty in their 3-2 defeat at home to fellow relegation battlers Burnley.
Wolves Goalscorers This Season:
No Wolves player has managed to score multiple goals this season.
Their eight goals are three more than the club managed in their historically bad season almost two decades ago.
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.
Rob 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.
