'I think Wolves are...' - Journalist makes positive claim regarding Wanderers' 'business'

Wolves are currently one of the Premier League’s most ‘underrated’ teams following an excellent season, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

Bruno Lage’s side find themselves very much in the race for Champions League football, currently sitting six points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester United.

Wolves have played two games fewer, too, and last weekend’s 2-0 win away to Tottenham was further proof that they aren’t going away any time soon.

With a crucial visit of Leicester City arriving on Sunday afternoon, they have been paid huge praise by one journalist.

Speaking to Give Me Sport, O’Rourke claimed that few teams in the Premier League are more under-appreciated than the Wanderers:

“I think Wolves are a very underrated team in the Premier League. They’re going about their business quietly and are defensively one of the best in the Premier League.”

It is hard to disagree with O’Rourke’s thought process, with very few giving Wolves a chance of finishing in the top four at the beginning of the season. In fact, European football of any kind was far from a given.

Instead, Lage has turned them into an extremely difficult team to break down – they have only conceded 17 goals in 23 league games – and they have beaten both Spurs and United away from home, both of whom are Champions League-chasing rivals.

Wolves don’t receive too much praise from the widespread media which sums up their underrated tag – that would change if they finished in the top four, in what would be a truly outstanding achievement from Lage and his squad.
