The home team has had a nearly disastrous season, which led to the removal of manager Bruno Lage and the appointment of Julen Lopetegui, a former manager at Sevilla, as the new manager. In their first cup match, they defeated Preston North End 2-1 before defeating Leeds United, another Premier League team, 1-0 at home in the second round.
This week, the Wolves will play their first competitive game under Lopetegui and will want to get off to a winning start. Gillingham started off their cup run with a 2-0 away win over Wimbledon, with Mikael Mandron and Jordan Green getting on the scoresheet in extra time prior to beating Exeter City on punishments in the subsequent round.
After that, they played Brentford, a team from the Premier League, in the third round. In regular time, they played to a 1-1 draw, but in the penalty shootout, they won 6-5. The visitors last advanced this far in the League Cup in the 1996–97 season, and this week, they will try to prove themselves against another top-flight team.

Wolves vs Gillingham Prediction :
After losing four of their previous six games, the Wolves are now on a streak of consecutive games without a loss. They have lost three of their last four home games and will be hoping to further develop their home structure beginning this week.
With their most recent victory, Gillingham ended a four-game losing streak and will now attempt to extend it. However, they could lose here given how poorly they have performed on the road this season.
