Enduring a difficult start to the campaign, it appeared KXIP were destined to finish at the root of the standings. However, a recent sudden upturn in form has seen the Punjabis rise up the standings to throw themselves in the far for playoff qualification. Their most recent fixture saw them cause a major upset, defeating juggernauts Mumbai Indians in the Super Over with two balls remaining. With this shocking result, KXIP are now on a two-game winning run. This side have relied heavily on KL Rahul and Chris Gayle this season. That said, their batting unit looks well in order. The addition of Glenn Maxwell to the squad has sparked this department into life. The bowling lineup also looks promising with the likes of Chris Jordan, Sheldon Cottrell and Mohammad Shami aiding their teams cause recently.
Wolverhampton started rather poorly in the new season. The Wolves had a hard time at least in the middle of the standings, beating Sheffield United (2:0) and Fulham (1:0). In other meetings, Nuno Santo defeated Leicester (4:0) and defeated Manchester City (3:1). However, in the last championship, Wolves started even worse, but then made up for lost time. It is all the more interesting to see how Wolverhampton will play further. The Wolves were knocked out of the League Cup in the very first match. Stoke City beat Nuno Santo at Molinho (1:0). Considering last season, the Wolves had poor away results. Wolverhampton have won just one of their previous five away Premier League games, losing three. In each of the lost matches, the “wolves” failed to score. With the club’s roster, everything is fine, despite the outbreak of covid in the Portuguese national team, whose natives make up the bulk of the roster. Honatan Castro Otto is not available for this match. Ruben Vinagre also moved to Olympiacos.
