Match Preview

Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur meet at Molineux Stadium in a Premier League clash that promises excitement and intrigue. Both teams have had challenging seasons, with Wolves battling relegation and Spurs struggling to find consistency under Ange Postecoglou. The stakes are high as both sides aim to secure vital points in the closing weeks of the campaign.

Wolves come into the match buoyed by their recent 2-1 victory over Ipswich Town, which extended their unbeaten streak to three games. This resurgence has lifted them 12 points clear of the relegation zone, all but securing their Premier League survival. Vitor Pereira’s side has shown resilience, particularly in tight matches, but their defensive frailties remain a concern. Wolves have conceded 59 goals this season—among the highest in the league—and will need to tighten up against Tottenham’s attacking threats. The return of Matheus Cunha from suspension is a significant boost; the Brazilian forward has been instrumental with 13 goals in 26 appearances this season.

Tottenham, on the other hand, ended a four-game winless run with a convincing 3-1 victory over Southampton last weekend. Despite this result, Spurs remain inconsistent, sitting 13th in the table with only 37 points from 31 matches. Their Europa League fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday adds another layer of complexity, as squad rotation and fatigue could impact their performance. Injuries to key players such as Dejan Kulusevski further compound their issues. Historically, Spurs have struggled against Wolves at Molineux, with Wolves winning three of their last four meetings across all competitions.

The reverse fixture earlier this season ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Wolves dominated offensively in that match, generating an impressive 1.86 post-shot xG against Spurs’ defense. This trend could continue on Sunday as Wolves seek to exploit Tottenham’s vulnerabilities at the back. However, Wolves’ own defensive record is shaky, and they rank among the bottom five teams in post-shot xGA (expected goals allowed). With both teams prone to conceding goals, fans can expect an open and high-scoring encounter.

Key Players

Wolves:

• Matheus Cunha: Returning from suspension, Cunha is Wolves’ top scorer with 13 goals this season. His ability to find space and finish clinically will be vital.
• Jean-Ricner Bellegarde: The midfielder leads Wolves in assists (6) and offers creativity in the final third.
• Rayan Aït-Nouri: Aït-Nouri contributes both defensively and offensively with three goals and five assists this season.

Tottenham:

• Son Heung-min: With nine assists and seven goals this season, Son remains Spurs’ most versatile attacking threat.
• James Maddison: Maddison’s creativity and set-piece ability have been crucial for Spurs; he has nine goals and five assists so far.
• Brennan Johnson: Johnson has scored nine goals this season and adds pace and directness to Tottenham’s attack.

Prediction

This match is likely to be closely contested due to both teams’ defensive vulnerabilities and attacking strengths. Wolves will benefit from home advantage and Cunha’s return, while Spurs may struggle with fatigue following their midweek Europa League fixture. A high-scoring draw (2-2) seems plausible given the history between these sides and their current form.

Betting Markets

With both teams desperate for points and struggling defensively, expect an entertaining match filled with goal-scoring opportunities.
