On February 13, the match of the 25th round of the English Premier League 2021/22 between Tottenham and Wolverhampton will take place. “Bookmaker Ratings” believes that the Wolves will be able to hold back the pressure of the hosts.
Stadium: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London).
Referee: Kevin Friend.
Tottenham Hotspur: Dier, Skipp, Tanganga.
Wolverhampton: Moutinho (?), Boly, Mosquera, Neto.
Tottenham have played their last two matches in the Premier League mediocrely, losing first to Chelsea (0: 2), and then also to Southampton at home (2: 3). Is Conte really affected by the lack of acquisitions he needs? But what about Kuluszewski and Bentancourt? Both from Serie A, he must know them well. According to the lost ones, Arsenal caught up with Spurs. Right now, two North London clubs are fighting for the top 4. Great intrigue!
Wolverhampton seems to be doing quite well, but an FA Cup loss to Norwich and a 0-1 league loss to Arsenal doesn’t inspire optimism. Again there were problems with the attack. It is worth recalling that the Wolves are in 18th place in terms of goals scored. A weak indicator for a team that claims for the European cups. In the first round, Wolverhampton lost at their home arena to Tottenham with the usual score of 0:1.
Bookmakers still underestimate the guests. Already burned at Southampton, and here the opponent is even stronger and more disciplined. The “double chance” of the Wolves is estimated at 1.3. The hosts do not look a like a clear favorite.
A bet on a positive handicap (+1) is recommended. The defense of the Wolves is so strong that it is hard to believe in a confident victory for the hosts. This season, the Wolves have lost only two times in twenty-five matches by more than 1.5 goals.
Tottenham have missed in eight of their last ten games. Total over and mutual goals took place exactly in half of the games. In head-to-head matches, OZ has played six times out of eight.
Wolverhampton are downstream and have gone under 1.5 in seven games out of ten. “Both to score” was played only twice in total. In all matches in this segment, the opponent could not score more than once.
Wolves play very calmly in defense and get out of difficult situations perfectly. Yes, now they have lost two matches in a row, but this does not knock Lager’s wards out of shape. They may well beat Tottenham and get closer to the top 4. But with Conte’s team, it is quite questionable. Spurs are not famous for their stability and reliable defensive play. ITM1 (1.5) is quoted for a decent 1.93.
