Will the Londoners end their Wolves curse?
The Spurs are hosting the bottom team in the table: The Wanderers are the only team in the league still waiting for their first points! Find out which Tottenham vs. Wolverhampton tip is the best in the following analysis.
While the visitors have had a very weak start to the new Premier League season, the home side’s initial results are much more positive. With ten points after five games, the Londoners are in third place in the table.
The offense in particular has been reliable, scoring ten goals already. Since they are now facing a particularly weak defense, which has conceded the most goals after West Ham, the Tottenham vs. Wolverhampton prediction is for more than two goals from the Londoners.
In addition, we expect Richarlison to score for the home side. The Spurs striker has scored six goals in twelve PL games against the Wolves – he has scored more goals against no other team in the league (also six against Leicester).
On top of that, we are opting for the odds on a home win, including a half-time lead for the home side. Wolves have been behind at half-time in each of their last nine Premier League games, and all five of their defeats this season have come after trailing at the break. Given the clearly better form of their opponents, we believe that this is likely to be the case again.
Tottenham – Wolverhampton Head-to-head record / H2H record
Tottenham have lost four of their last five league games against the Wolves (0-1-4). In addition, Spurs have conceded at least two goals in each of their last four games against Wolverhampton, and the visitors have lost only two of their last eight PL away games at Tottenham (4-2-2).
Regardless, the Tottenham vs. Wolverhampton odds for the next match clearly favor the hosts.
Tottenham vs. Wolverhampton Prediction
The Wolves have lost all five of their PL games this season. Only three teams have ever lost their first six games of a season (Portsmouth 2009/10, Crystal Palace 2017/18, Norwich 2021/22).
The visitors will naturally be keen to avoid joining this inglorious club, but we expect another defeat for the Wanderers. This is not only due to Wolverhampton’s desolate form, but also to the strength of their upcoming opponents.
Tottenham have picked up 10 points in five PL games under coach Thomas Frank, twice as many as in their last twelve games under Ange Postecoglou (1-2-9). The change of coach has therefore paid off in full!
Furthermore, the hosts are unbeaten in their last 15 PL games against teams that were bottom of the table at kick-off (12-3-0). The hosts’ offense is particularly efficient on the road: Tottenham have already scored ten goals and have an expected goals value of 6.1 this season.
Only the confident league leaders from Liverpool have topped these figures with eleven goals and an expected goals value of seven. Against this backdrop, the odds for more than two goals by the hosts in the match between Tottenham and Wolverhampton appear to be lucrative!
