Vitor Pereira has steered Wolves to successive Premier League victories since taking over
Vitor Pereira has steered Wolves to successive Premier League victories since taking over

- Wolves have netted at least twice in seven of their last ten games
- Tottenham have conceded ten times in their last three outings
- Recommended bet: Wolves to score over 1.5 goals

Wolves have recorded back-to-back wins under new manager Vitor Pereira and they will take plenty of confidence into this visit to Tottenham, who are in the midst of a defensive injury crisis.

Spurs have lost back-to-back games against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest and could have to field two makeshift central defenders in this clash.

The pressure is rising on Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou after their latest defeat but the former Celtic boss remains hamstrung by the injuries his team have suffered, particularly in defensive areas.

Team news

Tottenham have a defensive injury crisis. They are missing Ben Davies, Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. They could also be without Radu Dragusin who came off against Nottingham Forest, leaving them with no fit central defenders in their first-team squad.

Djed Spence will be suspended for this game after a late red card against the Tricky Trees while Wilson Odobert and Richarlison are also absentees for this match.

For Wolves, long-term absentees Yerson Mosquera, Enso Gonzalez, Sasa Kalajdzic and Boubacar Traore remain out. This game will also probably come too soon for Pablo Sarabia and Mario Lemina.

The stats

14 of the last 17 of Wolves Premier League games have had three goals or more. 

The Old Gold have also won four of the last five meetings between these two teams.

Three of Tottenham's last four home games in the Premier League have seen them lose and both sides score. 

Spurs have also gone down by a single goal eight times in the Premier League in 2024.

Matheus Cunha has 10 goals in the Premier League this season, only Mo Salah, Erling Haaland, Cole Palmer and Alexander Isak have more.

Prediction

Wolves have been the latest recipients of the new manager bounce, picking up back-to-back wins to nil over Leicester and Manchester United since Pereira’s arrival.

They will look to carry that form into this clash with Tottenham, who currently have no fully fit central defenders in their first-team squad.

Add to that the fact that Spence is suspended and Spurs are looking threadbare at the back.

In Brazilian forward Cunha, Wolves have one of the most in-form players in the league and he could cause plenty of issues for a Tottenham team who have conceded ten times in their last three matches.

Take the Old Gold to find the net at least twice in this game.
