Tottenham vs Wolves 2025/26 Premier League Bet Builder & Predictions
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers at their North London home on Saturday presents a fascinating Premier League encounter between a high-flying but injury-ravaged Spurs and a Wolves side in complete disarray. Our football betting expert is predicting a Home Win combined with Under 3.5 Goals, a clean sheet for the hosts, and for Richarlison to continue his scoring form.
Team News and Context
Tottenham Hotspur enter this fixture sitting 3rd in the Premier League table with ten points from five games. Their excellent start under new manager Thomas Frank has been built on a solid defence, which has kept clean sheets in 60% of their matches and conceded only three goals all season.
However, they are now facing a severe injury crisis that threatens to derail their momentum. The creative heart of the team has been ripped out, with James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski both facing extended spells on the sidelines with knee injuries. With Radu Dragusin also ruled out and doubts over key players like Yves Bissouma, Ben Davies, and Dominic Solanke, Spurs’ impressive squad depth will be tested to its absolute limit.
Wolverhampton Wanderers travel to the capital in a state of utter turmoil. They are rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table, having lost all five of their opening matches, leaving them as the only side yet to register a point. Their form is categorised as ‘Very Poor’, having scored just three goals while conceding a league-high twelve.
The pressure is mounting on manager Vitor Pereira after last weekend’s capitulation against Leeds, a match that ended with boos ringing around Molineux. Their only major advantage coming into this clash is an almost clean bill of health with just Leon Chiwome and Andre Trindade da Costa Neto out.
Recent Form and Previous Weekend Recap
Spurs showed their fighting spirit last weekend, coming from 2-0 down to snatch a 2-2 draw away at Brighton. A first-half strike from Richarlison gave them hope before a late own goal secured a deserved point. The performance was lauded as one of their best of the season in terms of character, but conceding twice exposed a defensive sloppiness that had been absent for much of the campaign.
Wolves’ last outing was a disastrous 3-1 home defeat to Leeds United. Despite taking an early lead through a well-worked goal finished by debutant Ladislav Krejčí, they collapsed defensively, conceding three times before the break. The manner of the defeat, characterised by individual errors and a collective lack of confidence, highlighted just how much trouble the Molineux club is in.
Head to Head and Current Standings
While the form guide points to a comfortable home win, the head-to-head record tells a different story. Wolves have been a bogey team for Spurs in recent years, winning nine of the last 21 encounters to Tottenham’s seven.
Most alarmingly for the hosts, they are winless in their last five meetings with Wolves. These fixtures have a tendency to produce goals, with the last four clashes seeing over 2.5 goals , and 62% of the last 21 featuring both teams scoring. Spurs sit 3rd, while Wolves are 20th.
Key Players to Watch
With Maddison and Kulusevski out, the goalscoring burden for Tottenham falls squarely on the shoulders of Richarlison. The Brazilian is Spurs’ top scorer with three goals and was on the scoresheet again last weekend. As the focal point of the attack, he will be the primary threat against a leaky Wolves defence.
For the visitors, it is difficult to pick out a player in form, but Ladislav Krejčí offered a glimmer of hope with a goal on his debut against Leeds. The midfielder will need to provide similar inspiration if Wolves are to pull off an upset.
Match Prediction and Betting Tips
This is a classic case of form versus history. Tottenham are heavy favourites at 9/20, but their extensive injury list makes that a very short price, especially against a team they have failed to beat in their last five attempts. Wolves are in a desperate situation, with zero points and a defence that concedes 2.4 goals per game on average. Crucially, they have failed to score in 100% of their away games this season, generating a paltry 0.86 xG on their travels.
While Spurs’ attack is severely blunted by injuries, they should still have enough to overcome a side in freefall.
Our football betting tips for Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers are:
Tottenham to Win and Under 3.5 Goals @ 6/5: Tottenham should win, but their depleted attack makes a high-scoring rout unlikely. Without their main creative forces, a more functional victory is on the cards.
Wolves have lost every game, and Spurs’ defence is generally solid at home, conceding just once in two games. A 1-0, 2-0, or 2-1 home win fits this prediction perfectly.
Both Teams to Score – No @ 11/10: This tip is based on Wolves’ complete inability to find the net on the road. They have failed to score in every away game and Spurs have kept clean sheets in 60% of their matches this season, including 50% of their home fixtures. This looks to be a solid value bet.
Richarlison to Score Anytime @ 6/5: As the team’s top scorer and central striker, Richarlison is the most obvious candidate to score for Spurs. He found the net against Brighton and will be the main beneficiary of any chances created against a Wolves defence that has shipped twelve goals in five games.
