Tottenham vs Wolves prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-02-16 15:00.
[p]Tottenham continue to hold onto their top-four Premier League position, largely thanks to their home form and they come into this clash boasting a five-game winning streak in front of their own fans. The most recent of those victories came last weekend when they overcame a 1-0 half-time deficit to defeat Brighton 2-1 – something Spurs are accustomed to doing this season having won an impressive 16 points from losing positions.[/p]
[p]Due to the postponement of a visit to Stamford Bridge later this month, this meeting with Wolves will be the second of three consecutive league games at home and is therefore an excellent opportunity to make up some ground on the title chasers above them. But with boss Ange Postecoglou again linked with the soon-to-be vacant Liverpool job during the week, they’ve been handed an additional off-field distraction as they seek to avoid losing three successive H2Hs for the first time ever.[/p]
[p]Their recent history with Wolves is a distinct reminder that it won’t be that simple, as not only did the Midlands outfit go into this round as the only bottom-half side to have already beaten Tottenham this Premier League campaign (2-1), but they’ve also come away from their last six trips to Tottenham with an impressive ten points (W3, D1, L2).[/p]
[p]They travel on a sombre note following their 2-0 home loss to Brentford last weekend, though boss Gary O’Neil was quick to point out that the absence of club top scorer Hwang Hee-chan and in-game injury to striker Matheus Cunha hindered their chances of victory. O’Neil was hopeful at least one of the pair, who between them scored eight of Wolves’ last 11 Premier League away goals, will be back to help them push for a victory that could see them end the evening in the top half of the table.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: The recently returned Son Heung-min set up the 96th-minute match-winner against Brighton and has recorded a goal or assist in 11 of his last 18 games for club or country. Wolves will be hoping for a bounce-back from Pedro Neto, who has scored or assisted in three of his last four competitive games.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: All but one of Tottenham’s last 15 league games saw both teams score and produced over 2.5 goals.[/p]
