Tottenham Form & Record Check
Tottenham have been playing well below their potential this season. They started the season with Champions League ambitions, but currently they wouldn’t even participate in the Europa League. The reason for this is a worrying personnel situation and very mixed performances in recent weeks.
In their last five matches, they only managed a single win against Southampton, losing the remaining matches against Bournemouth, Chelsea, Liverpool and, most recently, Nottingham Forest. This currently puts them in 11th place in the table, with 23 points, which is already six points away from European business. They need three points at home against Wolves, otherwise their ambitions could be buried early in the season.
Home curse?
At the beginning of the season, Spurs looked very good at home, but this has been sorely missed in recent weeks. They have only drawn one of their last four home games and have otherwise been beaten three times. Their last home win was on 03/11, when they beat Aston Villa 4-1.
However, their home record against Wolves in their last ten duels will be anything but motivating. Four wins, one draw and five defeats from the Londoners’ point of view. They will be desperate to change that in the next game.
Tottenham facts & analysis
- Eleventh place
- Four defeats in the last five league games
- Last league game lost 0-1 against Nottingham Forest
Wolverhampton form & record check
The Wolves had a catastrophic start to the current season, then had a fairly good phase, which was followed by poor performances again, but now Wolverhampton seems to be able to shake itself out again. After four defeats in a row, they were able to win away from home against their direct competitors from Leicester in the last two weeks and on the last match day, they beat the heavy favorites in the name of Manchester United 2-0.
This winning streak has now enabled Wolverhampton to save themselves from relegation and move up to 17th place, which would be enough to avoid relegation. So, with two wins under their belt, they can certainly go into this game with confidence.
Better away from home
Of course, the numbers are anything but satisfactory, but what can be seen from the first half of the season so far is that the Wolves feel comfortable away from home. In the nine away games they have played in the Premier League so far, they have won twice, drawn twice, but also lost five times.
However, with the resulting eight points, they scored one more point in the first half of the season than they did at home. In addition, they have scored 15 goals on the road, which is the fifth-best away offense in the league.
Wolverhampton Facts & Analysis
- 17th place in the table
- Unbeaten in two games
- Last league game won 2-0 against Man United
Spurs will start in their classic 4-2-3-1 formation again. However, they will have to do without right-back Spence (yellow-red suspension). For him, coach Ange Postecoglou will again put Porro in the lineup. Otherwise, it is possible that Maddison will move back to the number 10 position and Kulusevski will move to the left back position.
Wolves will start in a 3-4-2-1 formation again. We expect them to start with the same lineup that was used against Manchester United. Coach Vítor Pereira has no reasons to make any changes.
