It's a clash of the titans, or maybe not, as Tottenham Hotspur meets Wolverhampton. There's certainly a lot to unpack here.
Let's discuss team strengths from where it all starts, the guys manning the posts. Wolverhampton keeps things interesting alternating between Jose Sa and Sam Johnstone. Both goalkeepers present a formidable force but comparatively, they're outshone by Tottenham Hotspur's Fraser Forster who has a spiffy 7.20 rating and an impressive 28 saves.
Stepping away from the keepers, as we talk about top players, the Wolves have a few worth noting. Matt Doherty has been lighting up the field with an impressive 85.1% accurate pass and a goal to his name. Then there's Matheus Cunha, a force to be reckoned with, with 3 goals, 8 shots on target and a 76.7% accurate pass. But the favorite shirt in the arena might be Tottenham's James Maddison, who has 3 lovely goals to his name and a cheeky 84.4% passing accuracy. And let's not forget Heung-min Son, always a crowd favorite, with 2 goals and a passing accuracy of 87.1%.
But enough about the players, what about the teams themselves? History between these sides sees Wolverhampton with a slight upper hand, based on the last three encounters. Wolverhampton's regular season record hasn't been the best with 4 wins, 3 draws, and 11 losses. If we peek at the recent matches, though, they've shown spunk with some surprising victories. On the other side, Tottenham Hotspur is almost in the middle with 7 wins, 2 draws, and 9 losses. Recent results, however, paint a different picture, they have had some disappointing losses and a few impressive victories.
Given all this, I can't deny the statistical truth glaring at us. So without further ado, my prediction:
