Wolverhampton Wanderers host Tottenham in the EFL Cup 1/16 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, September 22nd at Molineux Stadium (Wolverhampton)
Wolverhampton Wanderers made their debut in the League Cup from the 2nd round. On August 24, the Wolves easily coped with the representative of the Championship, Nottingham Forest (4- 0). But they are still experiencing problems in the Premier League. In five starting rounds, Lage's players beat only Watford away (2-0) and lost all other games. Wolverhampton is the only team in the league that did not score a single point at home. Last Saturday, the Wanderers lost at home to Premier League newcomer Brentford. In the first half, the visitors secured a comfortable 2-goal advantage and then successfully held it until the final whistle. Even the power play from the 64th minute didn’t help the Wolves. The Bees were left with ten men due to the sending-off of Shandon Baptist.

Tottenham will start its way in the League Cup from the 1/16 finals. The Spurs are four-time holders of this trophy, and the last one was won in the 2007/08 season. Tottenham is approaching the start of the tournament with a streak of three matches without victories in all competitions. In the group stage of the Conference League, the Londoners shared the points with the French Rennes (2-2), and two Premier League matches ended with two defeats with a large score. On September 11, the Lilywhites failed to cope with Crystal Palace away (3-0), and the last round ended with a major home defeat to Chelsea (0-3). In the game against the Blues, Tottenham held up with dignity in the first half and went on a break with a zero score. But in the second half, the rearranged Tuchel's team took advantage of three defensive mistakes of the Spurs, leaving them no chance for points in that game.
The teams approach the cup game with noticeable problems affecting their results. Wolverhampton has been weak in the attack since the beginning of the season: even if the team creates a lot of chances, the attacking line is wasting them due to poor conversion. In the Premier League, the Wanderers scored only two times with an xG of 8.22. Tottenham couldn't score in two rounds in a row and conceded at least two goals in three consecutive matches. Due to the problems in attack, we can hardly expect a lot of goals in the upcoming game. In the last head-to-head match, the Wolves and the Spurs scored only one goal for two. It is possible that this result will be repeated again.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — no
