Tottenham vs Wolves prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-12-28 15:00.
[p]The calls to dismiss Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou intensified further after they became the fifth side to suffer at least nine Premier League losses this season following a 1-0 away defeat to Nottingham Forest. The likelihood of Postecoglou therefore becoming the first Spurs boss since Mauricio Pochettino to oversee at least 100 games now appears slim at best, with the Australian admitting that he has grown âtired of the same questionsâ about his tactical approach. [/p]
[p]Tottenham have been prolific goalscorers at home this season, but it hasnât translated into points, losing their last two Premier League fixtures on their own patch to Liverpool and Chelsea despite netting three times on both occasions. Those results suggest that they should put a few goals past upcoming opponents Wolverhampton Wanderers, but without a home league win since early November (D1, L3), itâs not goals Spurs fans want, itâs points.. [/p]
[p]Hoping to worsen Tottenhamâs miserable run, Wolves should journey down to the capital full of confidence despite their perilous-looking league position. Theyâve enjoyed a classic ânew manager bounceâ in their two games under VĂtor Pereira so far, securing their third and fourth victories of the league season and earning two more clean sheets in the process, most recently dispatching Manchester United 2-0 on Boxing Day. [/p]
[p]The Portuguese boss will be shaking hands here with Postecoglou for the first time since the 2020 AFC Champions League, and while he has already transformed the atmosphere at Molineux following the terrible end to Gary OâNeilâs reign, he will at least be hoping to replicate Wolvesâ two most recent games against Tottenham under the Englishman, which both ended 2-1 to the Old Gold. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Following their home loss to Liverpool, Dejan Kulusevski has been on the scoresheet in six competitive games this season in which Spurs have netted at least three goals. Matheus Cunha has been an integral part of Wolvesâ recent uplift, having scored in all four of their Premier League wins in November and December to date. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: 14 of Wolvesâ last 16 matches have produced more than 2.5 goals. [/p]
