England - Premier League: Wolves vs TottenhamWolverhampton’s survival hopes, as well as their confidence, suffered a big blow as they lost to fierce rivals Birmingham despite taking the lead and Mick McCarthy now has his work cut out for him. Tottenham couldn’t beat Aston Villa at White Hart Lane but they will now try to make things right by winning at Molineux.
Wolves slipped into the relegation zone
Wolverhampton entered the derby game with Birmingham in poor spirits after losing to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup but they started the match really well and even managed to take the lead. Nevertheless, Mick McCarthy’s side allowed their opponents to take control of the match and ended up losing the tie, which saw them slip into the bottom three. You can imagine how the players now feel after losing to their fierce rivals and the lack of confidence will affect their chances in this match. Seeing that Wolves failed to score in their last three home games in the Premiership, you should seriously consider backing Wolverhampton not to score at 2.40 offered by Paddy Power.
The hosts are again set to line up in 4-5-1 formation with Kevin Doyle as a lone striker and we expect to see the same side that started the Birmingham game. Stefan Maierhofer is slowly building his match fitness after recovering from a groin injury and he will soon return into action, but David Edwards, Andy Keogh and Michael Kightly remain sidelined.
A good chance for Tottenham
Tottenham seem to have found some consistency lately as their performances during the last few weeks have been pretty good, although Spurs should have won at least few more points during this period. Harry Redknapp’s team completely outplayed Aston Villa last weekend but they had to settle for a goalless draw and will now try to make things right by picking up all three points from Molineux. Seeing that Spurs boast the best scoring record outside the title contenders, we see a good value in backing Tottenham to score over 1.5 goals at 2.10 offered by Boylesports.
Harry Redknapp surprised everyone by not making any substitutions during the Villa game but he will be forced into at least one change as Ledley King cannot play two games in a week and he will probably be replaced by Younes Kaboul. That is likely to be the only change since Aaron Lennon, Jonathan Woodgate, Roman Pavlychenko, Carlo Cudicini and Benoit Assou-Ekotto remain on injury list.
Betting verdict
Wolves are largely struggling at the moment and the players are in very low spirits after losing to Brimingham, thus we cannot expect them to get something from this match. Tottenham have raised their form during the last few weeks and Spurs are playing with a lot of confidence, which is why we will back them in this match.
