Wolverhampton
The team has taken full advantage of a favorable schedule, facing four opponents from the lower part of the standings. Initially, they drew 1-1 with Everton, followed by a three-match winning streak, defeating Southampton and Ipswich 2-1, and overcoming West Ham 1-0. After this unbeaten run, Vítor Pereira's side managed to pull 12 points clear of the relegation zone.

Jose Sa – Matt Doherty, Toti Gomes, Emmanuel Agbadou – Rayan Aït-Nouri, João Gomes, Andre, Nélson Semedo – Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Marshall Munetsi – Jørgen Strand Larsen.
Injuries rule out forwards Enzo Gonzalez, Leon Chiwome, and Sasa Kalajdzic, as well as defender Yerson Mosquera.
Tottenham
The Londoners went four league matches without a win, suffering three defeats and one draw. However, in the last round, they ended this winless streak by defeating Southampton 3-1 at home, which ultimately relegated their opponents to the Championship. Ange Postecoglou's side is in 14th place, with a 17-point cushion above the relegation zone. Notably, Tottenham has scored 58 goals in the current Premier League season, the second-highest tally behind Liverpool.
- In their last 15 Premier League matches, Tottenham has managed just four victories (2 draws and 9 losses).

Match Prediction: Wolverhampton vs. Tottenham
The hosts have not lost to this opponent in the last four league meetings, winning three and drawing one. The first-round clash in the current Premier League saw both teams score twice against each other. I anticipate that the Londoners will not secure three points in this encounter either.
Vítor Pereira's side is in better form, having lost only one of their last six Premier League matches. The team's tournament motivation drives them to strive for victory in every game. Although the gap from 18th place is comfortable, securing a win in the upcoming match would help guarantee their Premier League status for next season. Tottenham lacks motivation for the remaining league matches, as their 17-point lead over Ipswich with seven rounds to go is sufficient.
Therefore, my prediction is a Wolverhampton win.
