Wolverhampton Wanderers looking to extend 29-year streak against Luton Town

Wolverhampton Wanderers will be looking to extend a 29-year streak when they square off against Luton Town in the Premier League on Saturday.

Wolverhampton Wanderers will be hoping to extend a 29-year streak when they square off against Luton Town in the Premier League on Saturday.

During the opening five matches in this season's top flight, Wolves have regularly created chances with Pedro Neto already having four assists to his name.

However, Gary O'Neil's side have accumulated just three points from five matches, their solitary win coming away at Everton at the end of August.

As a result, the West Midlands outfit sit in 16th position in the standings ahead of what is perceived to be their biggest game of the season thus far.

While Luton are yet to pick up a single point since their promotion from the Championship, the Hatters will move ahead of Wolves if they prevail by two goals or more at Kenilworth Road.

So far, Luton have played just one match at their home ground, which ended in a 2-1 defeat to West Ham United, and historically, they have not fared great in their most recent league fixtures versus Wolves.

Luton's most recent success in such a contest came all the way back in November 1994, with the Hatters emerging victorious by a 3-2 scoreline in a Division One game at Molineux.

Since then, though, Wolves have put together a seven-match undefeated streak, recording four wins and three draws between April 1995 and March 2007.

All of the games in question took place in the second tier of English football, either called Division One or the Championship, but the two teams have still met in the last 16 years.

In an FA Cup third-round tie in January 2013, Luton - then competing in the Conference Premier - recorded a 1-0 win over Wolves, who were in their first campaign back in the Championship after relegation.

Alex Lawless scored in the 46th minute to condemn Wolves to a shock defeat, one which led to the sacking of Stale Solbakken in the hours after the game.

The two teams also played out a goalless draw in a pre-season friendly as recently as August 2, Wolves dominating without being able to find a decisive goal in the encounter held at their Molineux home.
