Less than 24 hours after the third main round in the English FA Cup has been completed, the first two games of the 18th Premier League matchday are on the program on Tuesday evening. In the evening match, there is a duel between Wolverhampton and Everton. The home side is already under a lot of pressure because the season so far has not been satisfactory.
In the current Premier League table, the Wolves are only on a disappointing 13th place. After all, the gap to the extended top is still moderate, because the Premier League is more balanced in 2020/21 than it has been for a long time.
The guests from Liverpool had to cope with some setbacks recently, but are much better off as seventh in the table, especially since the Toffees only separates the goal difference from the Champions League.
Nevertheless, according to current odds, the best bookmakers see the guests as outsiders on Tuesday evening at Wolverhampton against Everton.
Wolverhampton – Statistics & Current Form
Last season Wolverhampton was allowed to dream of the Champions League for a long time, but even gambled away the Europa League at the end of the season. That is the declared goal this season and at first, it looked as if the Wolves had found their way back on track. Despite the departures of Diogo Jota and Matt Doherty, the team started the season successfully.
Injury concerns are clearly noticeable
With 13 points from the first seven league games, things went according to plan, but then gradually the devil of injury struck. This is a big problem because the Wolves squad lacks quality in the squad depth. In the past season, Nuno Espirito Santo hardly rotated despite the double burden with the Europa League. He went into every game almost unchanged, rotation is a foreign word for the Portuguese coach.
This season, however, he is repeatedly forced to make changes and this is clearly noticeable. Wolves are currently missing players such as Jonny Otto (left-back), Leander Dendoncker (defensive midfield, central defender) and the two offensive players Raul Jimenez (top scorer) and Dani Podence. Four failures with great effect, because the Wolves have not celebrated a victory for four league games.
In the last Premier League match, the Wolves even gambled away a 3-1 lead against relegation candidate Brighton. The uncertainty after the most recent setbacks is clearly felt. After all, there was a sense of achievement in the FA Cup when the Wolves prevailed 1-0 in the Premier League duel against Crystal Palace thanks to a goal from Adama Traore (who is in a form crisis for much of the season).
No zero in ten games
It is particularly worth mentioning that the team played to zero. In the Premier League, the Wolves have conceded at least one goal in their last ten league games. Only Sheffield United, the bottom of the table, is waiting longer for a “clean slate” (20 games).
What is particularly worrying is the fact that the Wolves conceded the 0-1 goal in nine of these ten games. On Tuesday evening, Wolverhampton against Everton definitely offers the prediction of the Toffees’ first hit.
The probable lineup of Wolverhampton:
Rui Patricio – Ait Nouri, Saiss, Coady, Semedo – Neves, Moutinho – Neto, Vitinha, Traore – Fabio Silva
Last games from Wolverhampton:

01/08 2021 Wolverhampton 1 – 0 Crystal Palace

Everton – Statistics & Current Form
Everton also prevailed in the FA Cup at the weekend, but struggled against second division Rotherham United and had to go into unnecessary extra time before head coach Carlo Ancelotti’s side won 2-1.
Won five of the eight away games
In the domestic championship, Everton surprisingly lost the last league game with 0: 1 at home to Goodison Park against West Ham United. After the local rival of Liverpool FC previously celebrated four league wins in a row, this bankruptcy was not to be expected. This underlined, however, that this season the toffees have so far felt more comfortable in a foreign place than in their home country.
In eight away games, the Toffees have already collected a strong 16 points, five of the eight guest appearances were victorious. Should Everton celebrate a win without a goal at Molineux Stadium on Tuesday, the Toffees would celebrate three straight away wins for the first time since December 2008. In the last two guest appearances, Leicester and Sheffield were defeated.
A big plus in the last few weeks has been the strong defence. After the outstanding start to the season, the team slipped into a minor crisis. There were two or more goals to cope with six times in a row. In the last seven league games, however, Everton had to cope with only four goals. With these numbers, the tip between Wolverhampton and Everton is definitely under 2.5.
DLC in the gate crisis
In particular, the fact that the Toffees have lost a little of their impact recently speaks for a bet on the under 2.5. This is also due to the form crisis of national player Dominic Calvert-Lewin. In the first eleven league games, he scored eleven times and gave an average of 3.3 shots on goal per game. In the meantime, however, he has not scored a goal for five games in a row. He also had significantly fewer chances to score, only 1.9 shots on goal per 90 minutes during his “goalless series”.
The probable lineup of Everton:
Pickford – Godfrey, Holgate, Mina, Coleman – Doucoure, Davies – Richarlison, Sigurdsson, James Rodriguez – Calvert-Lewin

Wolverhampton vs Everton Betting Predictions and Odds by PicksSoccer Experts
For the home side from the industrial city of Wolverhampton, the duel with the Toffees is a trend-setting duel. With a win, Nuno Espirito Santo’s team could connect to the extended top, with a defeat, the international starting positions would temporarily be a long way off.
The Wolves are extremely strong, but the lack of a goalscorer cannot be denied. In addition, the defensive problems are a real concern. In view of this, Wolverhampton should refrain from betting on the home side against Everton.
