'No good' - Pundits do not all agree on Tottenham vs Wolves prediction

Several high-profile pundits have been forecasting the outcome of Wolves’ away clash with Tottenham on Sunday.

Bruno Lage ’s side have not lost on the road in the Premier League since December 11, having beaten Brighton, Manchester United and Brentford.

However, they go into this weekend’s fixture on the back of two losses; an unexpected 1-0 FA Cup exit to Norwich and a 1-0 home defeat to ten-man Arsenal.

A win against Tottenham - who have lost their last two league fixtures - is vitally important if Wolves want to keep their European qualification aspirations alive.

Paul Merson has recognised this but reckons the game will end even in a 2-2 draw.

Writing in his column for Sportskeeda , he said: “Both teams have to win this game.

“A draw here is no good and will just help the likes of Arsenal, West Ham, and Man United.

“Wolves lost to Arsenal in their midweek game, and will need to play Arsenal away from home. They need a win here, but I see both teams playing out a draw this weekend.”

Michael Owen also thinks the two teams will share the spoils in a 1-1 draw, explaining to Bet Victor : “Bruno Lage will have been disappointed to go out of the FA Cup last week, but Wolves can really focus on their top-four push now.

“They’ve got the second-best defence in the league, and I think they’ll have a strong finish to this season.

“This is a big game for both. I’m going for a 1-1 draw.”

Meanwhile, writing in his weekly BBC Sport predictions piece, Mark Lawrenson believes Tottenham will take maximum points in a 2-0 victory.

He said: “I am not really sure which Spurs we will see here, but we know what to expect from Wolves now.

“The task for (Antonio) Conte and his players is to find a way of breaking them down.”
