Match Overview

The Premier League Week 6 fixture between Tottenham and Wolverhampton is scheduled for September 27 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. This preview provides a comprehensive forecast, including statistics and key insights for the match.

Tottenham Analysis

Tottenham’s start to the season has been quite successful. After finishing 17th in the previous Premier League campaign, they currently sit third, trailing only Liverpool and Arsenal, with the latter ahead only on goal difference. However, last weekend saw the team draw against Brighton. Following two victories in their opening two league matches, Thomas Frank’s side has only managed one win in their subsequent three games (1 draw, 1 loss). Notably, in their most recent Premier League outing, Tottenham conceded two goals, which is more than they allowed in their preceding three matches combined (1).

• At least two goals have been scored in 12 of Tottenham’s last 13 Premier League games.
• The club has conceded goals in 15 of its last 18 Premier League encounters.
• In 6 of Tottenham’s last 8 league matches, at least one team failed to score.

Tottenham’s Expected Lineup

Provisional Starting XI for Tottenham (4-3-3): Guglielmo Vicario – Destiny Udogie, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Pedro Porro – João Palhinha, Lucas Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur – Mohammed Kudus, Wilson Odobert, Richarlison.

Team News and Injuries for Tottenham

Defenders Radu Drăgușin, midfielders Yves Bissouma, James Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski, as well as forward Dominic Solanke, are all sidelined due to injuries.

Wolverhampton Analysis

Wolverhampton has yet to secure a victory in the current Premier League season, and more significantly, Vitor Pereira’s squad has not earned a single point. Other teams in the relegation zone have already amassed three points, leaving Wolverhampton at the bottom of the table. A few days ago, the team suffered a defeat against Leeds, marking their fifth consecutive league loss. Their winless streak in the Premier League now extends to nine matches (1 draw, 8 defeats). It’s also worth highlighting Wolverhampton’s defensive vulnerabilities: they have conceded a total of 12 goals in the first five league rounds, with only West Ham having a worse record (13 goals).

• The team has scored at least one goal in 15 of their last 20 Premier League fixtures.
• Wolverhampton has conceded in their last 9 league matches.
• At least two goals have been scored in 6 of the club’s previous 8 league encounters.

Wolverhampton’s Expected Lineup

Provisional Starting XI for Wolverhampton (3-4-3): José Sá – Yerson Mosquera, Toti Gomes, Emmanuel AGBADU – Ladislav Krejci, João Gomes, Rodrigo Gomes, Jackson Tchatshua – Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Fernando Gonzalez, Tolu Arokodare.

Match Prediction: Tottenham vs Wolverhampton

Compared to the previous Premier League season, Tottenham appears to be more vibrant, but they are still adjusting to contending for higher positions. Victories are not yet a certainty, and the team occasionally lacks self-belief. The Londoners have failed to win in 9 of their last 12 league matches (2 draws, 7 losses), and their home record is even less impressive, with only 3 wins in their previous 16 home Premier League games (alongside 3 draws and 10 losses).Wolverhampton hasn’t secured any points in the current league campaign, but this doesn’t mean the club is hopeless or loses every match without a fight. Out of their five defeats, only one was by a large margin. Overall, the team has avoided losing by a margin of two goals or more in 17 of their last 21 Premier League matches. This trend also holds true for 8 of Wolverhampton’s last 9 away games in the English championship. Furthermore, their head-to-head record against Tottenham shows a close contest: Wolverhampton has avoided defeat in 6 of their last 7 Premier League encounters, with their only loss during this period being by a minimal margin.I anticipate that the visitors will remain resilient and keep the match competitive until the final whistle. My prediction is Wolverhampton with a (+1.5) Handicap.
