Wolverhampton Wanderers welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Molineux this Sunday for a high-stakes Premier League clash that could shape the European qualification race. With both sides pushing for strong finishes, this matchup promises intensity, tactical battles, and critical individual performances.
Form Guide and Match Context
Tottenham come into the fixture buoyed by a much-needed 3-1 victory over Southampton, a result that ended a four-game league winless run. However, their attention may be divided, as they are fresh from a 1-1 Europa League quarter-final first-leg draw against Eintracht Frankfurt, leaving the second leg delicately poised for next week.
Wolves, on the other hand, have been resurgent. Under the guidance of Vitor Pereira, they’ve strung together a four-game unbeaten run in the Premier League, including three consecutive wins. This streak has lifted them safely away from relegation concerns and revitalized their confidence heading into the final stretch of the season.
With just five points separating the teams in the standings, both clubs will be desperate to gain ground and boost their respective ambitions, be it Europe or consolidation.

Team Updates
Wolves are boosted by the return of Matheus Cunha following suspension, giving Pereira an intriguing selection dilemma in attack. Jorgen Strand Larsen has been a standout in Cunha’s absence, scoring in each of the last three victories.
Tottenham report no new injuries post-Frankfurt, though Dejan Kulusevski and Kevin Danso remain uncertain for upcoming European action. With eyes on the midweek decider, head coach Ange Postecoglou may look to rotate his squad, potentially offering opportunities to fringe players like Djed Spence, Ben Davies, Mathys Tel, and Richarlison.
Tactical Outlook
Wolves have shown newfound defensive discipline and attacking purpose, qualities that could unsettle a Spurs side juggling European commitments. Historically, Molineux has proven a tough venue for Tottenham, who lost their last two visits and won just one of the last six meetings.
Expect Wolves to press aggressively and test Tottenham’s depth, especially if squad rotation becomes a factor.
Prediction
The home side could have the edge given Wolves’ strong form and Tottenham’s potential Europa League distraction.
Prediction: Wolves 2-0 Tottenham
