Tottenham Form & Balance Check
London’s Spurs just about managed to finish fourth last season and that means Tottenham will be playing in the top flight again this season. Overall, the whole club has made a significant leap forward since coach Conte took over in the spring of this year. With the transfers of Richarlison and Yves Bissouma, Spurs have been able to put an exclamation mark or two on the transfer market. The title will be difficult, but reaching the Champions League must be the goal.
Racing derby against Chelsea
Spurs have made a pretty solid start to the new season with four points after two games. Coach Conte’s eleven visited the Blues from London last weekend and in the end both shared the points with a 2-2 draw. After the final whistle, Tuchel and Conte clashed and both were sent off with red. Thus, the Italian will have to watch the upcoming match from the stands.

Wolverhampton form & balance check
Wolves were described by many pundits before the season as the surprise package par excellence. On paper, many good footballers play for Wolves and yet even their own fans don’t quite know where they are heading this year. After the disappointing 1:2 at the start against Leeds, there was also no win on the last matchday. The Wolves had to settle for a goalless 0-0 draw at home to promoted Fulham.
Record transfer has arrived
It was announced during the week that Wolves have secured a club record transfer. From Sporting Lisbon, once again a Portuguese, Matheus Nunes was signed for the central midfield. The midfielder will compete with his two compatriots Moutinho and Neves for the two places. The 22-year-old cost just under 50 million euros. Overall, the Wolves squad makes a good impression and if the results also fit soon, then we trust Wolverhampton to have a quiet season.
Wolverhampton facts & analysis
– 1 point after 2 games
– Last played 0-0 against Fulham
– Currently in 14th place
Predicted line-up – last updated 19 August 2022
Spurs are likely to go in a 3-4-2-1 once again for the upcoming game. It will be important that the defence keeps everything together and especially that the double-six of Bentancur and Hölbjerg works as well as it did in the clash against Cheslea. Kane, Son and Kulusevski are responsible for the goals. Wolves are once again in a classic 4-2-3-1, with ex-Hamburger Hwang expected to score the goals. Newcomer Nunes will probably take a seat on the bench for the time being.
