Premier League: Wolves vs. Everton Picks — Hosts to Bounce Back to Form at Molineux? (Mar 8)

The late kick-off in the Premier League on Saturday will see Wolves look to enhance their chances of avoiding relegation when they entertain Everton.

Vito Pereira’s side come into this round with a five-point advantage over the relegation places, and an eight-point advantage over the drop zone will be considered big enough to give them some breathing space.

David Moyes deserves huge credit for the job that he has done since returning to Everton. The Toffees have eased clear of the relegation places after going seven without defeat.

Odds

Wolves Have Positive Record Against Toffees

Wolves have suffered just one defeat in their last seven home matches against Everton. However, across that period three matches have ended in draws. Everton recorded a 4-0 win in the reverse fixture this term, and are chasing only a second Premier League double over their opponents.

Wolves vs. Everton Key Stats

• Everton are on their longest unbeaten sequence in the EPL since going nine without defeat in February 2017.

Wolves vs. Everton Prop Picks

Both of these sides have struggled in the final third this season, and they have typically looked to play on the counter-attack. Everton and Wolves ran among the sides with the fewest averages in terms of corners, racking up 4.26 and 3.59, respectively. Therefore, under 8.5 corners could be an interesting angle.

Matheus Cunha’s suspension means that there will be pressure on the forward players for Wolves this weekend. However, no other player for the hosts has scored at least ten goals this term. Therefore, we could see a low-scoring affair being contested on Saturday.

Wolves vs. Everton Picks

Everton’s poor recent record at Molineux is a concern this weekend, but it is important to note that three of the last seven have ended in draws. That could be an interesting angle this weekend.

The Toffees have played out draws in three of their last seven matches under Moyes, and their trait of being hard to beat could be challenging to oppose on Saturday.
