Tottenham vs Wolverhampton: English Premier League Match Prediction
Tottenham have suffered defeats in their last two matches and are moving further and further away from the European Cup zone. Wolverhampton, on the contrary, have won two victories in a row and left the relegation zone. How will the face-to-face match between the rivals on December 29 go and what reliable bets to choose? – the answer is in our forecast
Command Analysis
Tottenham Hotspur
EnglandCurrent form
Tottenham have suffered four defeats in the last five rounds, a serious decline in the game is noticeable to the naked eye. Moreover, they lost not only to top opponents, Chelsea (3:4) and Liverpool (3:6), but also to more modest Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest with the same score of 0:1. It is alarming that the powerful attack of the Spurs, which often helped to gain points in confrontations with not the most formidable opponents, began to fail. In defense, Postecoglou charges rarely manage to play to zero, as evidenced by 26 goals conceded in 18 games. As a result, after two defeats in a row, Tottenham is only in 12th place in the standings on the eve of the start of the 19th round, and the gap from the European Cup zone has reached six points. A ticket to the Champions League seems out of the question, as Nottingham Forest, who are in fourth place, are already 11 points behind.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tottenham still have a decent list of injured players, especially in defence. Vicario, Davies, Odobert, Richarlison, Romero and van de Ven are all out due to injury today. Spence is also suspended.
Interesting trends for betting
- Tottenham have failed to win in the first half in three of their last five matches
- At least four goals have been scored in 10 of Spurs' last 14 Premier League games
Probable line-up: Forster - Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Udoji - Bissouma, Sarr - Kulusevski, Maddison, Son - Solanke.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
EnglandCurrent form
The change of coach seems to have done Wolverhampton a favour. In two matches in a row, the Wolves won against Leicester (3:0) and Manchester United (2:0). For the first time in a long time, they managed to keep two clean sheets in a row. Perhaps this is the key to success, since the team’s attack has been fine throughout the season. As a result, Vitor Pereira’s men left the relegation zone, with 15 points, they are in 17th place. However, the gap from Leicester, who are in 18th place in the “red” zone, is only one point. An away game against Tottenham is ahead, and it is worth noting that the Wolves have beaten this opponent in the three previous face-to-face matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kalajdzic, Traore, Gonzalez, Sarabia and Mosquera will miss the game due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- At least three goals have been scored in 13 of Wolves' last 15 Premier League games
- Both teams to score has played in 13 of the Wolves' previous 17 league games
Probable line-up: Sa - Doherty, Bueno, Toti Gomes - Semedo, Andre, Joao Gomes, Ait-Nouri - Guedes, Cunha - Larsen.

14.50Tip and bets
Tottenham have significant problems with their defensive lineup, which hasn't been very reliable before. Wolverhampton have won two games in a row, and the new coach has managed not only to "shake up" the team, but also to improve things in defense. We don't think that the Spurs, who are in a serious slump, are ready to win today. Moreover, they will have to play against an inconvenient opponent - the Wolves have won the last three head-to-head matches.
Our prediction is a victory for Wolverhampton with an Asian handicap (+1) at odds of 1.81
Bet on total
Tottenham defense does not stand up to any criticism, regularly allows itself to fail. Wolverhampton has no problems in attack, in the last four matches the team did not leave the field without scoring goals. Accordingly, another bet on the game suggests itself.
The second bet is the individual total of goals for Wolverhampton over one with odds of 1.55
Yellow Card Betting
It should be noted that in the last six personal meetings in London in the Premier League, Wolverhampton players did not receive more than two yellow cards. Based on this trend, we recommend betting on statistics.
