Wolves vs Tottenham Preview: How Spurs Can Secure a Crucial Win at Molineux?

Wolverhampton Wanderers host Tottenham Hotspur at Molineux on Saturday, 12 April 2025. The game is crucial for Spurs who are trying to improve their standing on the log after a poor season to date.

The home side have been flirting with relegation and Ange Postecoglou’s men will be looking to pile further misery on Wolves.

While reviewing a list of football betting sites, we noticed that bookmakers have not yet released the odds for this game. However, given Tottenham’s star-studded quality, they are widely expected to be the favourites once the betting window opens.

Recent Form Overview

Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs have been playing attacking football this season and are one of the division’s top goal scorers. They have been hampered with injuries to key players, however, and the squad depth has been put on strain.

Without like for like quality coming to replace the players from the starting XI, inconsistent performances have ravished their season.

Archie Gray has been a shining light in a season in which Spurs have found it tough-going. The 18-year-old has come into his debut season in the Premier League and not looked out of place one bit.

Gray has even played at right-back and centre-back for Postecoglou and been excellent in the process.

Spurs have been claiming major scalps away from home this season, they beat both Manchester clubs at Old Trafford and the Etihad respectively and will be able to navigate the raucous nature of the Molineux. 

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Vitor Pereira’s side play with three at the back and have two fullbacks who bomb forward to support the attack. They thrive on the counter and with Matheus Cunha receiving in the pockets with his back to goal.

Wolves’ have been pretty good at Molineux this campaign and have a reputation for causing upsets at their home stadium. They recently put a good Aston Villa side to the sword on home turf.

Tactical Breakdown: How the Teams Will Approach the Game

Tottenham’s Likely Game Plan

Spurs play with one of the highest defensive line in the Premier League. They press high and try to win the ball back in dangerous positions in their final third so they can hurt the opposition with high quality turnovers.

A key part to the way they play is finding James Maddison between the lines. The attacking midfielder has been in great form when fit this season and is an important factor to their fluid attack.

Wolves’ Strategy

As mentioned earlier, the home side use three centre-backs and two fullbacks and like to stretch the pitch. They have two great wingbacks in Ryan Ait-Nouri and Nelson Semedo who offer themselves on the overlap while being technically secure defensively at the same time.

A lot of trust is afforded to Cunha for finding solutions in the final third. The Brazilian has been excellent at finding solutions for Wolves to break Premier League defences this season.

Key Battles on the Pitch

A key battle in the clash will be out wide. Wolves are very strong down the flanks with their fullbacks bombing forward but so are Spurs who have the cultured right foot of Pedro Porro and the lung-busting Djed Spence at left-back.

Cunha vs Cristian Romero will be another key duel. The Brazilian has arguably been one of the best attacking players in the Premier League this season so his South American counterpart will have to be on his toes come Saturday.

Prediction: Why Tottenham Should Take the Win?

The Spurs faithful will be hoping for a positive result against a struggling Wolves outfit. The visitors have enough firepower in their ranks to break down a relegation-threatened Wolves side.

Postecoglou’s side have been good recently and are on the up, expect them to put the home side to the sword and grab all three points here.
