Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur will face each other in the Premier League this coming weekend. The match between Wolves and Spurs will be held at Molineux Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 3pm UK time on Saturday.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolverhampton Wanderers are still in danger of getting relegated from the Premier League to the Championship at the end of the season, but there is certainly more optimism at Molineux Stadium now. The team are playing much better under Julen Lopetegui than they did before and are also getting positive results. While Wolves are not out of the woods yet, the fans can be quietly optimistic that they will be watching Premier League football at their ground next season.
The Wanderers are 15th in the Premier League table at the moment with 24 points from 24 matches. Wolves are three points above the relegation zone and are above the likes of West Ham United, Leeds United and Everton in the league table.
Wolves played out a 1-1 draw with Fulham away from home at Craven Cottage in London in the Premier League last week. It came after a 1-0 defeat to fellow relegation candidates Bournemouth at Molineux Stadium in the league and followed a 2-1 victory over Southampton away from home at St. Mary’s Stadium in the Premier League.
Team News:
Raul Jimenez will lead the line for Wolverhampton Wanderers. Ruben Neves will start in midfield, while Jose Sa will be the goalkeeper like always.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur have been rather inconsistent this season, but Antonio Conte’s side remain in the hunt for a UEFA Champions League place for next season. Spurs do not play the most exciting of football in the Premier League, but the North London club could end up having a very successful season.
Spurs are fourth in the Premier League table at the moment with 45 points from 25 matches. The North London outfit are four points behind fourth-placed Manchester United, who have played 24 matches. Tottenham are four points clear of Newcastle United, who are currently fifth in the standings and have played 23 matches.
Tottenham got the better of Chelsea 2-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League this past weekend. Oliver Skipp and Harry Kane scored the goals for Antonio Conte’s side in the London derby. It came after a 2-0 victory over West Ham United at home in another London derby.
Team News:
Tottenham Hotspur have no fresh injury problems. Harry Kane will continue to lead the line for Spurs. Richarlison could start as well in attack. Midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur will not play again this season due to a long-term injury. Hugo Lloris, Yves Bissouma and Ryan Sessegnon are on the sidelines as well.
Key Factors to Consider
- Wolverhampton Wanderers have scored 18 goals in 24 Premier League matches so far this season.
- Wolverhampton Wanderers have conceded 33 goals in 24 Premier League matches so far this season.
- Tottenham Hotspur have won 4 of their last 5 Premier League games.
- Tottenham Hotspur have won 14 of their 25 Premier League games so far this campaign.
- Harry Kane has scored 18 goals and given two assists in 25 Premier League matches so far this campaign.
Conclusion
While Wolverhampton Wanderers are playing much better and are getting more positive results than they did earlier in the season, Tottenham Hotspur will fancy their chances of picking up all three points at Molineux Stadium in the Premier League game this coming weekend. It is not going to be easy, though. Spurs have to be very strong and solid in the middle of the park, and they will also have to take their chances. Wolves are not going to leave too much space behind for Tottenham to exploit.
