Nerve thriller around Everton
Wolverhampton have recently picked up the points they needed in their battle against relegation after a shrewd decision at the coaching position. Everton, meanwhile, have had ups and downs, including under current coach Sean Dyche. The Toffees still need points, that’s for sure.
For Wolverhampton, this game will still be about showing a good home game in front of their own fans. The Wolverhampton vs Everton prediction from the bookmakers is leaning towards the visitors, albeit very slightly. So to speak of a real favourite role for one of the teams would be wrong.
The hosts at least no longer have the big pressure and could therefore play a little more freely. Our Wolverhampton vs. Everton tip is that the hosts will not lose and that less than 3.5 goals will be scored.
Wolverhampton – Statistics & current form
With two matchdays to go, Wolverhampton are 13th in the Premier League, having picked up 40 points. They have secured their place in the league, and coach Julen Lopetegui has played a big part in that. For the home side, it’s all about getting a positive result in the last home game of the season and perhaps creating a little more in their own attack than in recent weeks and months.
Wolverhampton still have the worst record of all teams in the Premier League with only 30 goals scored. Of course, the cruciate ligament rupture of Sasa Kalajdzic also plays a role in this. No Wolves player has more than six goals to his name, and in the last game the compactness was also there, but the offensive relief was missing against Manchester United, which led to a 2-0 defeat.
But things are going very well at home at the moment. Lopetegui’s team has won four games in a row at home, all of them by zero. However, those were the only wins in the last ten games, but they were enough to keep them in the league. The reason why the Wolverhampton vs. Everton odds are so evenly balanced is that only Everton still have a lot at stake
Wolverhampton want their tenth home win
The motivation for Wolves is obvious, they are looking for their tenth home win of the season. Moreover, it still seems possible to overtake the Eagles from Crystal Palace in the table. To do so, however, a good result must be achieved not only against Everton, but also against Arsenal. That could prove difficult.
In general, Wolverhampton have brought some confidence with them after recent performances at home. Only 19 goals conceded so far in home games, the defence is quite decent here. How that will look against an opponent who has to take some risks remains to be seen.
In any case, Wolverhampton can get a good result if everything goes normally. Therefore, ahead of the Wolverhampton vs Everton match, our prediction is that the hosts will not lose, scoring less than 3.5 goals in the process.

Everton – Statistics & current form
Everton have brought in a real expert in the relegation battle during the season, namely Sean Dyche. In some games that has been evident, in others it has not. Against Manchester City last Sunday the Toffees stood very well for a long time, but then they were hit by individual brilliance from the Skyblues and in the end were left without a chance in a 3-0 defeat.
Everton are still above the ominous line, but are only one point clear of Leeds, two clear of Leicester. Only one win in their last nine games does not suggest that the visitors are in very good shape either. The advantage in comparison with other relegation candidates could be the programme, because besides Wolves they also have to face Bournemouth.
Everton have only managed two wins away from home so far, but they have won five at home. That’s why the Wolverhampton vs. Everton odds, which suggest a relatively even game, are a little surprising. In any case, the visitors will need a good performance to take at least one point home in the end.
Everton: Dyche record gives hope – but only this one
Everton have lost all of their last three games against Wolverhampton, and the Toffees have only won their last away game once in the last seven seasons. However, the record of coach Dyche, who has not lost to Wolverhampton six times in a row, gives hope. But that seems little consolation in view of the many statistics which tend to go against the Toffees.
It is not yet a final for Everton, but the pressure is on the visitors. Therefore, a more attacking approach might be an option to put Wolverhampton under pressure and possibly take the lead. Therefore, before the match Wolverhampton vs. Everton our value tip is that both teams will score

Wolverhampton – Everton Tip
Wolverhampton have their relegation bid in the bag but will be looking to win their final home game to record their tenth home win of the season. Everton, meanwhile, will be hoping that staying in the league is just a matter of time but will need to put in a better performance than they have in many of their recent games.
Because of the omens, our tip before the Wolverhampton vs Everton match is that the hosts win and less than 3.5 goals are scored.
