Pressure is mounting on Ange Postecoglou as a series of disappointing results have raised doubts about his future at Spurs. For him, there is only one way to silence the critics – a win over Wolverhampton. However, the visitors will arrive at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in high spirits, having secured two consecutive victories, the most recent of which was a home win over Manchester United.
Tottenham Hotspur News
December has been challenging for Spurs, as their form has suffered due to injuries and a congested schedule. As a result, the team has dropped in the standings and is struggling to regain its rhythm. To put things into perspective, Tottenham has won only one Premier League match in December – against Southampton – with recent losses to Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. Despite being prolific goal-scorers at home, Spurs have struggled to convert this into points, with their last home victory coming against Aston Villa in early November. However, they have not failed to score in any home fixture since then, with their last two matches seeing them net at least three goals.
Wolverhampton News
Wolves will travel to London on the back of consecutive wins that have lifted the clouds over the club’s Premier League survival hopes. Their away form is respectable as well, with 2 wins, 2 losses, and a draw from their last 5 road games. This recent success is a classic example of the “new manager bounce.” However, the challenge with this phenomenon is that it often lasts for only a few games and can end abruptly. Wolves have also been impressive in front of goal, scoring in 4 of their last 5 matches overall and in 4 of their last 5 away games. Notably, their last two victories came with clean sheets.
Head-to-Head-Games
Wolverhampton holds a strong advantage in the head-to-head record against Spurs, having won 4 of the last 5 encounters. Additionally, they have the upper hand in matches played in London, with both teams securing 3 wins each from their last 5 meetings.

Tottenham Hotspur – Wolverhampton Betting Prediction
For this game, I’m backing a Tottenham win. Although their recent form has been poor, they remain prolific goal-scorers at home, even if they’ve struggled to capitalize on that at times. Wolves come into this match with boosted morale following two consecutive wins, but I believe the “new manager bounce” will eventually come to an end. Tottenham and Postecoglou have a chance here to secure a vital victory and build momentum to turn their season around. I expect Spurs to take this one and use it as a stepping stone for improvement.
