What the record shows

The retained record does not give either club a clear edge on the metrics that clear the gates. The closest thing to a difference: wolverhampton's shot volume and the opposing shot-allowance context sit above their competition baselines. Limitation: At least one team lacks a recent completed match near this fixture cutoff.
