Tottenham Hotspur welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to North London this weekend, with both sides experiencing very different starts to the 2025/26 campaign. Spurs are flying high in the top three after a solid run of form, while Wolves remain rooted to the bottom of the table after five consecutive defeats. The contest at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (Saturday, 8:00 PM) sets up as a test of resilience for the visitors, who are searching for their first points of the season.
Our predictions for Tottenham vs Wolves
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tottenham to Win | 12/25 @ BOYLE Sportd (67.6%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Tottenham are unbeaten in their last 15 Premier League games against sides starting the day bottom of the table (W12 D3). Wolves have been poor this season and are yet to pick up a point. Spurs have earned 10 points in their five Premier League games under Thomas Frank so far (W3 D1 L1), double the amount they won in their final 12 games under Ange Postecoglou (W1 D2 L9). |
| Joao Palhinha to be carded | 3/1 @ BOYLE Sports (57.9%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Over the course of two Premier League campaigns with Fulham, Joao Palhinha was booked a whopping 27 times. The midfielder is yet to be shown his first for Spurs, but considering that he was carded in all three of his appearances against Wolves, this could well be the game. |

How both teams go into Tottenham vs Wolves
Tottenham fans were treated to a thrilling comeback last weekend as their team clawed back from 2-0 down to secure a 2-2 draw against Brighton. The point keeps Spurs level with Arsenal, only trailing on goal difference in the Premier League standings.
The early-season form under new boss Frank is impressive. Spurs have already racked up 10 points from their opening five league games—a tally twice as high as what Ange Postecoglou managed in his final 12 matches. All of this comes as the club adjusts to life without long-time chairman Daniel Levy.
Wolves have shown their knockout pedigree, toppling Everton and West Ham in the League Cup, but in the Premier League, it’s been a different story. The Old Gold sit rock-bottom, having lost all five of their opening fixtures.
History isn’t on their side either. Only Portsmouth (2009-10), Crystal Palace (2017-18), and Norwich (2021-22) have ever started a season with six straight defeats. Come Saturday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Wolves risk not only joining that unwanted club but also setting a new, undesirable league record.
Tottenham team news
Tottenham could get a major boost in numbers for their upcoming clash, with up to four players edging closer to a return. Dominic Solanke looks set to be available after recovering from an ankle injury, having recently participated in full team training.
Kota Takai (foot) is also on the comeback trail, while Randal Kolo Muani (thigh) and Ben Davies (knee) are making good progress with their minor knocks. However, long-term absentees Radu Dragusin and James Maddison (both ACL), Dejan Kulusevski (knee), and Yves Bissouma (unspecified) are still sidelined.
Wolves team news
Wolves’ EFL Cup win over Everton came at a cost, with midfield engine Andre forced off in the 87th minute due to a calf issue. The Brazilian is now an early doubt ahead of the Tottenham clash.
Andre isn’t the only injury concern for Bruno Pereira. Long-term knee absentee Leon Chiwome also remains sidelined. Should Andre be unavailable, recent scorer Munetsi is expected to step in from the start.
Season Form & Standings
2025/26 season to date, Spurs are off to a strong start, while Wolves are desperate for a turnaround.
| Team | Pos | P | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tottenham | 3 | 5 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 10 | 3 | +7 | 10 |
| Wolves | 20 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 3 | 12 | -9 | 0 |
Tottenham (last 5: WWDWL) show consistency and a strong defensive record, while Wolves (LLLLL) are yet to get off the mark both in points and clean sheets.
Potential Match-Winners
Richarlison is expected to spearhead the attack, facing one of his favourite Premier League opponents. The Brazilian has netted six goals against Wolves—his joint-highest tally against any single top-flight team, level with Leicester City.
For Wolves, Hee-Chan Hwang remains their best hope, often leading the line and scoring in key moments last season, though he’s struggled for service so far.
Head-to-Head
Wolves have had the edge in recent meetings, winning 7 of the last 15, including a dramatic 4-2 home win last time. However, recent games have been tight, with both sides finding the net regularly.
