Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Wolverhampton Wanderers in 13th and Everton in 7th place.
- Wolverhampton Wanderers haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- Everton haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
It's no vacation for neither Wolves nor Everton as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Wolverhampton Wanderers form and stats
The story so far in the Premier League for Wolverhampton Wanderers at their home stadium (Molineux Stadium) is 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
Wolverhampton Wanderers's last game was hosting Crystal Palace (placed 14th) and winning 1-0. A 3-3 draw away in the Premier League before that, with Brighton & Hove Albion the opponent.
This is expected to be a close game, with Wolverhampton Wanderers perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Wolves as a small favourite), we find five games. Wolverhampton Wanderers has won zero of these, drawn three and lost two.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Premier League game versus West Bromwich Albion in only four days. This game is also played here at Molineux Stadium.
The Wolves fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. Wolverhampton Wanderers's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Everton form and stats
Everton's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Everton collect 16 points from their 8 away matches in the Premier League. 5 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 2 defeats). Momentum is building for Everton in their away games, having won their two previous outings.
Everton are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the FA Cup against Rotherham United (after extra-time). A 0-1 loss hosting West Ham United before that.
Abdoulaye Doucouré came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Rotherham United (after extra-time) last time out, making the manager C. Ancelotti feel like a tactical genius.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Everton playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were zero Everton wins, zero draws and two defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Everton manager C. Ancelotti as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Aston Villa.
Everton have scored 11 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. Everton have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Wolves, five draws and three wins for Everton. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
