Wolves Face Tottenham: A glance, forecasts, and top betting picks

Wolves Host Tottenham at Molineux in Premier League Clash

Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves) welcome Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, marking their third home game of the season in the Premier League. The hosts are determined to recover from a recent setback following a four-match unbeaten run, while Spurs aim to bounce back after their first defeat of the campaign.

Wolves' Mixed Start to the Season

The West Midlands club have had a topsy-turvy start to the season, opening with four losses, despite impressive performances, before receiving some unfortunate decisions via VAR. A draw against Luton Town in Round six was followed by a shock 2-1 victory over Manchester City, which reversed their fortunes.

A draw against Aston Villa preceded a hard-fought 2-1 win at Bournemouth in the 88th minute. Wolves then managed to rescue a draw from a 2-1 deficit against Newcastle United at home, before losing a heartbreaking 2-1 match against Sheffield United last week. Despite dominating possession, Wolves managed just 1.33 xG.

Key Absentees for Wolves

Wolves will be without winger Pedro Neto and full-back Hugo Bueno for this particular encounter, while defender Joe Hodge remains sidelined with an injury. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde could be recalled, and Rayan Ait-Nouri may take up the left winger position in Neto's absence.

Attacking Approach for Wolves

In light of the recent results against Liverpool and Manchester City, Wolves are expected to employ fast counter-attacks as their primary method of offense. They will NOT press high and will aim to draw Tottenham onto them. A draw at home would be considered a promising result for the home team.

Spurs' Recent Form

Tottenham Hotspur lost their last fixture after winning eight and drawing two of their first ten league matches. Spurs fought valiantly despite being reduced to nine men in their defeat to Chelsea Monday. They have managed to score two or more goals in nearly every match, and produced late goals to procure full three-point hauls.

A 5-2 thrashing of Burnley preceded a 2-1 home win against Sheffield United, thanks to two late goals. They drew 2-2 at Arsenal and stunned nine-man Liverpool 2-1 in the last minute before a 1-0 win at Luton with ten men, followed by consecutive derby victories: 2-0 versus Fulham and 2-1 away against Crystal Palace.

Spurs' Defensive Concerns

Tottenham Hotspur will line up for this game with a depleted defense. Destiny Udogie, Cristian Romero, and Micky van de Ven are all absent due to suspensions, while Pedro Porro is a doubt. Emerson Royal is expected to play at left-back, with Ben Davies a question mark.

Aggressive Approach from Spurs

Tottenham's manager Ange Postecoglou will adopt an attacking strategy, employing a high line and aggressive pressing. They will be eager for a response following Monday's defeat to Chelsea.

Key Statistics

Wolves have won just once in their last six home Premier League matches, having previously boasted seven victories in nine. At their home ground, Wolves have scored one goal or fewer in 19 of their last 27 Premier League matches.

Tottenham have fared well this season, winning eight of their eleven Premier League encounters, with two draws. They have managed to score two or more goals in ten of their last twelve Premier League matches.

Predictions

This game presents a challenge to predict as Wolves rarely score many goals, and both teams tend to result in low-scoring fixtures. However, given Spurs' current defensive difficulties and suspensions, it appears Wolves may find a way to troubled Spurs' back line. It's likely that we will see both teams on target.

Potential best bet: Tottenham to win at 2.10Alternative bet: Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 goals at 1.90Value bet: Tottenham to win and both teams to score at 3.55.
