Everton vs Wolves prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2026-01-06 19:30.
[p]Everton are aiming to bounce back from a costly loss at home to Brentford, while Wolves hope to continue their resurgence and make it three games undefeated.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Everton’s patchy run of form continued after a 4-2 defeat to Brentford on Sunday saw the Toffees drop down four places in the Premier League table to 12th. David Moyes’ side can still be quietly hopeful of moving themselves back into the picture for European qualification, given they start this round just three points adrift of fifth place. That highlights just how tight the table is at the moment, and Everton should be confident of bouncing back against the division’s basement boys, but that’s far from a foregone conclusion at home, with three defeats from their last four home games suggesting the Toffees haven’t quite settled into their new surroundings at the Hill Dickinson Stadium just yet.[/p]
[p]While Wolves head to Merseyside still 12 points from safety, there have been notable signs of recent improvement. A return of four points from their last two games is more than in the previous 18 games combined, and a 3-0 win over West Ham last time out keeps their very slim survival hopes alive. That victory was Rob Edwards’ first victory as Wolves head coach and ended a run of 23 league matches without a win dating back to April. Another three points here would see them take a step closer to Derby’s infamous 2007/08 points return of just 11, as they aim to avoid becoming the worst Premier League team ever. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This will be the sides’ third meeting this season, as Everton won the reverse 3-2 in August before falling to a surprise 2-0 League Cup defeat a month later. The Toffees may take confidence from a 4-0 win in this fixture last season, but that came after a run of three home H2H defeats in a row. [/p]
