Everton vs Wolves prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-12-03 19:30.
[p]Two teams who conceded four goals on their way to defeat at the weekend go head-to-head on Wednesday as Everton host Wolves. Everton lost 4-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday, but of more concern will be their lack of goals, as they have not hit the back of the net since late-October (D2, L2) and are the joint-lowest scoring team in the division.[/p]
[p]Sean Dyche’s side also have a very poor recent record against Wolves with five losses from their last six H2Hs (D1), including three successive home defeats, all by a one-goal margin. That would suggest there’s little hope of the Toffees snapping their five-match winless Premier League run (D3, L2), although Everton fans will point to their unbeaten league record at Goodison Park from September onwards (W1, D3) as a reason to keep their spirits up.[/p]
[p]Looking to end that run will be a Wolves side who haven’t kept a clean sheet on their travels since January and begin the gameweek with the leakiest defence in the league. That frailty at the back was there for all to see on Saturday when they found themselves 3-1 down at home after 18 minutes against Bournemouth – going on to lose 4-2 – a result which sent them back into the bottom three. [/p]
[p]Despite winning the previous two matches, and beginning the weekend unbeaten in four, Gary O’Neil saw his side booed off at Molineux with some fans pointing to his win percentage of 33.3%, the worst of Wolves’ last seven managers, whilst calling for his sacking. But he was bullish on Saturday evening, pledging to have his team “ready to fight again” come Wednesday, as he looks to build on their last away result, a 4-1 victory at Fulham![/p]
[p]Players to watch: Ashley Young has failed to contribute to a goal or win any of his last seven H2Hs against Wolves (D2, L5), but he did assist two of Everton’s last three goals at Goodison Park. Matheus Cunha has contributed to six goals (G5, A1) across Wolves’ last four away games and enjoyed his last H2H against Everton, scoring one as well as providing an assist![/p]
[p]Hot stat: There have been 4+ match goals across Wolves’ last five away games.[/p]
