Wolverhampton Wanderers are due to face Sheffield Wednesday, Aston Villa, Norwich City, Huddersfield Town and Barnsley in their next five Championship matches.

We attempt to predict the results of Wolverhampton Wanderers’ next five Championship matches.

Sheffield Wednesday (away) – 3-1 defeat

Wednesday started this season slowly, but they have begun to climb up the Championship standings now.

The Owls are always a tough opponent at Hillsborough, and it is hard to see this trip to Yorkshire being very productive for Wolves.

Aston Villa (home) – 2-2 draw

Aston Villa Manager Steve Bruce

Wolves have already proven that they have the ability to threaten Villa, as they were the better side when the two teams met earlier in the season.

On that day, Wolves and Villa played out a 1-1 draw – and it would not be a surprise if this match finished as a tie too.

Norwich City (away) – 2-1 defeat

Norwich may not have lived up to expectations so far this season, but they remain a dangerous opponent and Wolves will have their work cut out to avoid a defeat here.

Huddersfield Town – 2-1 win

Wolves manager Paul Lambert

Huddersfield have been the surprise package in the Championship this season, but the gruelling Christmas schedule may take a lot of a team which play with such an energetic style.

Wolves are meeting the Terriers at the right time, and could have enough to get past David Wagner’s side in this match.

Barnsley (away) – 1-1 draw

Barnsley have experienced an encouraging first half of the Championship season, following promotion last term. If Wolves can get a point from Oakwell, it should be considered a positive result.
