Wolves v Spurs

A trip to Molineux seems a far more daunting prospect these days with Wolves having already claimed the mighty scalps of Chelsea and Man Utd in 2011. A 4-0 drubbing of Blackpool last time out only fuels the belief of many that Mick McCarthy’s side are better than their lowly position suggests. Spurs have developed a knack of scoring on their travels, and rarely lose, so a score draw seems a decent bet at 7/2 with Boylesports.

It’s March, and Spurs are still playing Champions League football. In the build-up to the first leg encounter against AC Milan, Harry Redknapp did a decent job of focusing his players’ minds on the job at hand as his troops ground out an impressive 2-1 win at the Stadium of Light. However, following their heroics at the San Siro, they went on to lose 3-1 at Blackpool. The mindset of Spurs will be all important on Sunday, when they travel without key men Bale and Van der Vaart, for a fourth consecutive away game.

Tottenham have scored in their last nine away matches which leads me to think 0-0 is unlikely here. They’ve gained an unrivalled 20 points from losing positions and it’s this resilience that should get them something against a side fighting for their lives. Wolves have an appetite for facing the big boys with six of their eight league wins coming against top-half opposition this season. All things considered, both sides will fancy their chances and a share of the spoils may be the outcome.
