Wolverhampton take on the visitors Tottenham in the round 26 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, February 4th at Molineux (Wolverhampton).
After two consecutive wins over Liverpool and Southampton, Wolverhampton Wanderers have significantly improved their position in the fight for survival. But they are only three points away from the relegation zone. And their recent results are not very encouraging. First, the Wolves lost at home to a direct competitor in the relegation battle, Bournemouth (0-1). Then they managed to secure a draw with Fulham, which is more of a positive result this season than a negative one. And in the previous round, Liverpool took a convincing revenge on the "Wolves" who were weaker in every way at Anfield. I strongly doubt that Lopetegui's men will even manage to get a draw in their match against THFC.

The crushing defeat to Leicester in Tottenham Hotspur last away match is more of an exception than a rule and a consequence of poor football. The "Spurs" have looked very good in January and February. They outplayed Newcastle in the race for the fourth place in the Premier League. And in their last five matches, except for the loss to the "Foxes," they won four times: against Fulham (1-0), against Man City (1-0), against West Ham (2-0), and against Chelsea (2-0). Yes, three of these victories were at home. But given all the problems of the "Wolves" this season, the Londoners can quite possibly beat them away. Or at least get one point in the worst case scenario.
The hosts are fighting for survival, points are vital for the "Wolves" like air. The match is at home for them. That's why bookmakers are giving cautious odds regarding the result of this match. But this doesn't cancel out the fact that the "Spurs" are favorites. However you look at it, Conte's team is noticeably superior to their opponent in terms of squad quality. And the recent results of the Londoners in the EPL have been pleasing (except for the match against Leicester). I believe in the away team's victory more than in the hosts' success. Therefore, I'm taking the handicap (0) with insurance in case of a draw. The Wolves has been losing more often than earning points in their own walls lately.
Prediction for the match: Tottenham to win with 0.0 handicap.
