Tottenham Current Form – LDWWL

Ange Postecoglou is experiencing what everyone associated with the Premier League inevitably experiences. The highs are incredibly high, but the lows are just as low. In truth, that has been the story of Spurs’ season, and it is difficult to see this changing – at least in the immediate future. 

Are the tactics employed by Spurs brave and ingenious? Or do they lack the maturity needed in a league as competitive as this one? 

The jury is still undecidedly out on that topic, but until they become a team able to put games to bed, they will struggle to come away with maximum points on a consistent basis. 

This applies to this game too. Tottenham will enjoy the openness and expansive feel against Wolves, but the visitors will not lie down and given their recent engagements with Spurs, you feel they might just back themselves to edge it. 

Key Players to Watch

  • Dejan Kulusevski: Kulusevski has enjoyed an incredible run of form so far this season. His defensive ability coupled with his creativity with Spurs’ attack has seen the Swede become a vital cog for Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham. 
  • Brennan Johnson: Another player enjoying a really good run of form, Johnson has (at the time of writing) 10 goals and two assists in all competitions. He has been asked to start the last few games from the Tottenham bench, but his impact on the game doesn’t change. 
  • Dominic Solanke: An attacking option who has shown time and again that his one constant is finishing. A player who for a while seemingly reached a ceiling in his career and began to become stagnant, was revitalized at Bournemouth and now justifying the investment of Daniel Levy at Tottenham. 

Tottenham Team News

Cristian Romero (muscle injury), Ben Davies (hamstring injury), Guglielmo Vicario (ankle injury), Micky van de Ven (muscle injury), Richarlison (hamstring injury) and Rodrigo Bentancur (racism charge) are all unavailable for this game.

Wolves Current Form – LLLLW

Vitor Pereira was appointed as the Wolves head coach, replacing Gary O’Neil, and his tenure could not have gotten off to a better start. A new manager ‘bounce’ is a league phenomenon that might never make sense but will also never go anywhere. 

The defensive fragility of Wolves seems to have been bolstered under their new manager – which is incredible considering the number of goals they shipped under O’Neil – but it is their attacking ability which has been most impressive. 

Wolves were criticized for an over-reliance on Matheus Cunha, who has been sublime, but that wouldn’t be a fair statement to make since the arrival of Vitor Pereira. Their attack now seems fluid and wonderfully balanced. We might be getting ahead of ourselves here, but you know what they say about striking while the iron is hot…

Key Players to Watch

  • Matheus Cunha: Cunha has now scored 23 goals for Wolves in the Premier League, second now only to Raul Jimenez (40), he has been incredible to watch this season. He currently ranks eighth in the Premier League’s top scorers and will be vital for the confidence at Wolves.
  • Nelson Semedo: Recently handed the captain’s armband for his club, Semedo has been a servant to Wolves. Playing on the right side of their often robust back three, his confidence under the new manager seems to be growing all the while and we might once again see the best of him. 
  • Joao Gomes: Initially the Brazilian had many admirers at Wolves, this seemed to go wayward for a while, but he now once again has earned the plaudits of all those at Molineux. A strong battling defensive midfielder, he allows his side to progress up the pitch and he could be vital for Wolves staying in the Premier League come May.

Wolves Team News

Boubacar Traore (knee injury), Enso Gonzalez (knee injury), Pablo Sarabia (calf injury), Sasa Kalajdzic (knee injury), and Yerson Mosquera (knee injury) are all a doubt for this match.

    Forster, Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence, Sarr, Bissouma, Kulusevski, Maddison, Heung-min, Solanke.

  2. Wolves: 3-4-2-1

    Sa, Gomes, Bueno, Semedo, Doherty, Gomes, Andre, Gomes, Cunha, Guedes, Larsen.

Suggested Bets

We suggest the following few bets for your weekend multiples. Remember to use our reliable Premier betting sportsbooks to ensure maximum value and potential returns!

  1. Wolves Win/Draw: Wolves continue to show improvement under their new manager. They also have a devastating attack which now launches from a far more secure defensive platform. Given the fact that the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has seen goals aplenty over the past few weeks, if Wolves remain relevant for the early exchanges, we think they can come away with something here. 8/5 (2.6) with Stake.

  2. Both Teams to Score: The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has seen in excess of 20 goals in the last four games hosted there…none of them have been with a home clean sheet! 4/10 (1.4) with Pinnacle and Stake.

  3. Wolves (win/draw) + BTTS: To get the most possible value, we suggest combining these two betting strategies to take advantage of 127/50 (3.54) with N1Bet and Pinnacle.

Value Bets

  1. Matheus Cunha (Anytime Goal Scorer):  Whilst the attacking threats at Wolves are becoming slightly more varied, backing Cunha to contribute once again looks to be a set bet. 18/10 (2.8) with 1xBet

  2. Both Halves Over 1.5 Goals: High-scoring games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium are seemingly par for the course. These two sides will both boast confidence in their attacking abilities so backing goals galore in both halves could be a delicate play. 28/10 (3.8) with 1xBet

  3. Wolves Win: This is one of our longer shots, but Wolves will play with confidence. They will attack with pace and directness and if Spurs aren’t up for the game from the onset or should they allow Wolves to remain relevant with their open approach, they could pay the ultimate price. 45/10 (5.5) with 1Win and Sportsbet.io

Prediction: Wolves (Win/Draw) + BTTS 

A prediction which could raise a few eyebrows, and rightly so, we think Wolves have what it takes to come away with something from this game. Spurs struggle to kill games off and given the attacking quality the visitors enjoy, we think they could smash and grab a massive result in London.
