Tottenham vs. Wolves: preview and betting tips

Tottenham are confirming their quality so far despite their unconvincing performance against Chelsea. It is Wolves who are not doing well so far as they are struggling to score goals in particular. Therefore, we can expect changes in the line-up. Will we see another interesting shootout right after lunch on Saturday?

Tottenham have been living up to high expectations right from the start of the season, first destroying Southampton and then securing a point against Chelsea. However, the London derby certainly didn’t play into the hands of the Spurs players as both goals were controversial to say the least. However, nobody can take those away from them and 4 points in the table after the two opening games.

It is Wolves who are starting slowly, when their problem is not the performance but the efficiency. Raul Jimenez is simply missing, of course we are talking about his goals. After a horrific head injury, he hasn’t been up to his previous form from the 2019/20 season, in which he scored 17 goals in 38 Premier League games and assisted on another 6.

Hee-Chan Hwang, who was given confidence by coach Bruno Lage from the start of the season, was supposed to impress, but the Korean striker notched just one assist in the opening game, which was the only goal (Daniel Podence) scored by Wolves this season. Not a very good prospect against an attacking Tottenham side.

That’s also why a change is expected at the tip of the attack, with new signing Gonçalo Guedes, who arrived in pre-season for just under €33 million from Valencia, likely to move up. Last season, however, the 25-year-old Portuguese scored 13 goals in 42 games. Will he fare any better in the Premier League?

Wolves will probably need it badly, as Tottenham have scored at least two goals in 12 of their last 15 home Premier League games.

Then when you consider that Spurs have won 7 of their last 8 home games and Wolves have failed to win any of their last 9 Premier League games, we have a clear favourite.

But of course, this is matched by the odds, which are around 1.4 for Conte’s side to win. Considering the strength of the home team’s offense and the fact that 9 goals have been scored in Tottenham’s opening two games, an Over 2.5 bet seems much more favorable.

The goals could also be helped by the injury of Cristian Romero, who has been the key man of the defensive line so far.
