Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Predictions

• Wolves have lost all five of their Premier League games.
• Wolves have conceded 12 goals, scoring just three themselves.
• Spurs have 10 points from a possible 15.

More misery for woeful Wanderers

Tottenham take on rock bottom Wolves in the late kick off in the Premier League on Saturday and anything other than a convincing home win would register as a surprise in north London.

Wolves do have an impressive recent record against Spurs with four wins in the last five meetings, and one draw, but that is the only thing working in their favour ahead of this game.

The West Midlands outfit have made an awful start to the new season and they are the only team in the division yet to pick up any points, whereas Spurs have made a solid start with 10 points from a possible 15 and they opened their Champions League bid with a victory over Villarreal.

Wolves did pick up a 2-0 win over Everton in the EFL Cup in midweek to offer some respite to boss Vitor Pereira, but they were facing a heavily rotated Everton side and may struggle to back that up with another positive result at Spurs. Tottenham also picked up a midweek cup win as they downed League One side Doncaster 3-0, but boss Thomas Frank fielded a much-changed side.

Back Spurs to beat a -1 handicap

Spurs are a short price to win so the value play here could be backing Frank’s men to cover a -1 handicap. All three of Spurs’ Premier League wins have come by two or more goals, and with Wolves conceding 12 goals in just five games so far there is a decent chance that Tottenham can win with some room to spare in the late kick off on Saturday.

Spurs have managed clean sheets in all of their wins across all competitions this season and there does seem to be a greater focus on defensive solidity under Frank than there was under former manager Ange Postecoglou. Wolves have issues at both ends of the pitch with just three goals scored, failing to score in two of their three league games, so a 3-0 win for Spurs has a chance in the correct score market.

Finally, Richarlison is the standout pick for an anytime effort as the Brazilian is Tottenham’s top scorer in these early stages of the campaign with three goals so far. The 28-year-old was on target in the draw with Brighton last time out and can follow that up with another goal against the division’s worst defence.
