Tottenham – Wolverhampton

The favourite to win at home

Tottenham is representing England in the Europa League this season. There it demonstrates good results, in connection with which we will definitely see this club in the upcoming play-off matches in the spring. However, in the Premier League, Spurs are playing even worse than they did last season, when they already recorded a drop in the level of the former vice-champion of the country and Champions League finalist. Before the next meeting of the championship, the London club occupies twelfth place in the standings in six points to the nearest European Cup position. Given the current form of the Spurs, they urgently need a win. Who the opponents are is not particularly important. Wolverhampton are having a nightmarish season. Twice during the first round of the Premier League "wolves" won two times in a row, but so far these modest successes were enough to get out of the relegation zone. Bookmakers have identified the home team as the favourites for the upcoming meeting, offering odds of 1.61 on their victory. Tottenham is approaching the next championship meeting with two consecutive defeats. The only excuse for the Spurs can be the fact that the opponents were the clubs of the top-5 of the championship: Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. On the other hand, not so long ago, Tottenham's place in this area of the Premier League was considered almost booked. In this regard, now "justified" defeats capital fans are not at all satisfied. Depressing positions oblige the players of Tottenham to gather on one of the weakest rivals of the division. Wolverhampton from the first to the tenth round of the current draw of the Premier League did not win a single meeting. In November and December, the "wolves" won two times in a row, which allowed them to slightly correct the dismal situation. And the second mini-series is an ongoing one. A week ago, Wolverhampton beat Leicester City away, and then at home humiliated long-suffering Manchester United. In London, the opponent will be set up for the "wolves" in a special way. The fact is that the last three meetings between Tottenham and Wolverhampton were lost by the capital team. We bet that Postecoglou will break the series of defeats of his team with a victory over the outsider.
