Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Preview – Prediction, how to watch & line-ups | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to square off in Saturday’s curtain-raising Premier League fixture in London.

Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel were involved in a tense post-match altercation as Spurs eked out a controversial 2-2 draw against Chelsea last weekend.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Harry Kane hit back twice to hold the Blues to what could go down as a fortunate stalemate for Conte’s side at Stamford Bridge.

Indeed, both Tottenham’s equalisers could have been disallowed or prevented by different refereeing decisions, pouring more gasoline on ongoing protests against a poor referees system in England.

Spurs showed character to bounce back not only against Chelsea but Southampton on the opening weekend as they came from behind to claim a 4-1 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Despite Wolverhampton’s underwhelming start to the new Premier League season, Bruno Lage’s men are unlikely to roll over in north London, where they’ve won three of their last four league visits.

After turning a 1-0 lead into a 2-1 defeat at Leeds United on matchday one, Wolves could only manage a goalless home draw against promoted Fulham.

If it weren’t for Aleksandar Mitrovic’s second-half waste from the spot at Molineux Stadium, the Midlanders could’ve been heading into this fixture seeking their first points of the season.

Match Preview

Tottenham Hotspur

The abovementioned draw at Chelsea has taken Tottenham’s unbeaten run in the Premier League to eight matches (W5, D3), setting them up nicely for this encounter.

By extension, they have lost just one of their last 13 top-flight outings (W9, D3), 2021/22 season included, netting a whopping 33 goals in this spread of games.

There’s a piece of history up for grabs as Spurs have scored 999 Premier League goals at home, meaning they are one shy of becoming only the fifth club in the competition’s history to hit a 1,000-goal landmark.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

A Portuguese colony at Molineux has expanded over the summer, with Goncalo Guedes and Matheus Nunes joining the club from Valencia and Sporting Lisbon, respectively.

But the new additions have yet to get their opportunity to shine in the Premier League as Wolves’ immense scoring difficulties look to be following them into the new season.

After a poor scoring ratio of one goal per match accompanied Wolves’ disappointing 10th-place finish last season, Lage’s men have tallied just one goal in their opening two league fixtures this term.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Potential Line-ups

Tottenham Hotspur (3-4-3): Hugo Lloris; Davinson Sanchez, Eric Dier, Ben Davies; Emerson Royal, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Rodrigo Bentancur, Ryan Sessegnon; Dejan Kulusevski, Harry Kane, Son Heung-min.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction

Tottenham’s underwhelming home record against Wolverhmpaton should be coming to a close here as Spurs aim to gather momentum ahead of their impending return to the Champions League.

Wolves may have had the Londoners’ number of late. But Spurs are in a far better shape at the moment, with Tottenham’s second-most expensive signing, Richarlison, vying for his debut goal for Conte’s team.
