Wolverhampton take on the visitors Gillingham in the 1/8-finals of EFL Cup. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 20th at Molineux Stadium (Wolverhampton).
Wolverhampton Wanderers will now focus mainly on survival in the Premier League. The "Wolves" is an original football project. After returning from the Championship, this club consistently relied on immigrants from Portuguese football (not necessarily with a passport of this country). At the peak, under Nuno Espirito Santo, they managed to get into the Europa League and even get into the playoffs there. But this season, the start was frankly failed. The manager, Bruno Lage, was fired a long time ago, but they were looking for a replacement for quite some time. More precisely, they persuaded Julen Lopetegui. He agreed to move to Foggy Albion only in November, when Wolves had already settled in the relegation zone. And under the Spaniard, the Wolves also already lost once, however, to the leader, Arsenal. But the debut was a rather unexpected cup victory over Leeds.

Gillingham was already able to surprise with the mood in the cup battles now. The Giles will celebrate their 130th anniversary next season. But some achievements were at the level of the native county of Kent (from a football point of view - a frank backwater), or in not the most famous divisions of England. Last football year was marked by relegation from League 1. Moreover, now, already in the 4th division of Foggy Albion, now the team is also hanging in the relegation zone, not gaining even a point on average per match. It is clear that with this, all forces would be thrown into the struggle for survival. But no, just in cups, the underdog does well. and in both tournaments. Recently in the FA Cup passed Dagenham in a replay. In the League Cup, Wimbledon, Exeter and Brentford were knocked out, however, with both the latter there was a draw and success in the penalty shootout.
Gillingham has won 2 of the last 4 meetings with only 1 loss. But after 2014, they did not intersect with Wolverhampton. Wolverhampton are playing at home and need success to set the tone for an important winter stretch. We bet on their victory with a handicap of "-1.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Wolverhampton to win with -1.5 handicap.
