Tottenham will host the Wolves in the penultimate game week of the English Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on 16th May 2021 at 18:35 IST. The odds are favoring the hosts Tottenham to win the match and pose a threat to the fifth-placed Liverpool.

Teams Status

Tottenham are having a poor season when compared to their regular standards as they find themselves in seventh place just ahead of Everton by goal difference. They have played 35 matches and have won 16 wins, eight draws and 11 losses, earning 56 points in the process. They have scored as many as 61 goals and have conceded just 41 goals. They have the third best home record in the league as they have nine wins, three draws and five losses in the 17 matches that they have played on home turf. More than 50% of the total goals have been scored by just two players only, which is the reason for Tottenham’s struggle this season. Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son have scored 21 and 17 goals respectively. Kane leads the assist list with 13 assists, followed by Son with ten assists. Despite the loss to Leeds, they are likely to stick to the same playing XI.

Wolves are coming on the back of a comeback 2-1 win over Brighton over the weekend. They are currently placed in the 12th position of the Premier League points table with 45 points from 35 matches. They have 12 wins, 9 draws and 14 losses so far in the league. They have been pretty average on home turf as they have won five, drew five and lost seven, accumulating 20 points in 17 home matches. In the 35 matches, they have scored 35 goals and have conceded as many as 47 goals. Ruben Neves and Pedro Neto are the teams leading goal scorers with five goals each. Neto is also leading the assist chart with six assists to his name. They are struggling since the injury to their lead striker Raul Jimenez. They are more likely to go with the same playing XI that beat Brighton.
