Will the Wolves make too many mistakes again?
For Vitor Pereira, crunch time has already begun before the season has really gotten underway. The 57-year-old recently extended his contract with the Wolves, but is already having to hold crisis talks. According to our Wolverhampton vs. Everton tip, the world in the West Midlands is about to crack even further.
The Wolves are the only team still without any points after five Premier League matchdays. Only in the second round of the EFL Cup was there a 3-2 victory to celebrate – against West Ham, second from bottom in the English top flight. Our Wolverhampton vs. Everton prediction highlights one critical factor in these early performances.
This refers to the lack of cohesion in the back line. The home side has conceded at least two goals in four of six competitive games this season. An alarming addition: all four home games at Molineux Stadium have ended with “over 1.5 goals conceded.”
The visitors are coached by David Moyes, who can rely on the breathtaking skills of Jack Grealish. Grealish has already collected four assists in the English top flight, provided the most expected assists (1.7 xA) and created the most chances (13) after Bruno Fernandes (15).
In the 3-2 away win against Wolves, the dribbling winger excelled with two assists. From the Bet365 app, we see Wolverhampton vs. Everton betting odds of 2.25 and are betting on “Everton Over 1.5 Goals.”

In an entertaining match, David Moyes and his team secured a 3-2 victory at Molineux Stadium on the third matchday of the current Premier League season.

Everton has collected seven points in the first five matchdays of the Premier League. They scored at least two goals against Brighton (2-0) and Wolverhampton (3-2). In addition, Moyes’ team is among the top five teams in the English top flight with 7.11 non-penalty xG.
Wolverhampton – Everton Tip
Vitor Pereira took over the Wolves in December last year. In 22 Premier League matches last season, the hosts conceded only 29 goals (1.3 per league game) under his guidance. Under his predecessor Gary O’Neil, they conceded 40 goals in 16 games (2.5 per league game).
Currently, Wolverhampton’s defense is more reminiscent of the early stages of last season. The hosts have conceded at least two goals in all of their competitive home games this season. In addition, the ball has flown into their own net more than twice per competitive game (14 goals conceded in 6 games).
Everton have been inconsistent with their chances so far, but on average they have created the third-best chances among Premier League teams (0.13 non-penalty xG). Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (1.3 xA) and Jack Grealish (1.7 xA) are particularly responsible for the creative elements in the game, having provided more expected assists than any other outfield player in the English top flight.
