View: Tottenham banking on Wolves win but history not on their side in relegation fight

Tottenham Hotspur fans are confident that they can return to winning ways away at already-relegated Wolves but Molineux hasn’t always been a happy stomping ground for them.

Tottenham haven’t won in the Premier League since 28 December as their winless run stretched to 15 matches after a 2-2 draw with Brighton.

There were shoots of positivity in that match, where they twice took the lead, but the frailties they have developed this season were plain to see at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side may need to win the majority of their five remaining fixtures to stave off relegation to the Championship, and a victory at Wolves would be an ideal place to start.

But Tottenham should not underestimate a Wolves team who are a different proposition at home under Rob Edwards.

Tottenham cannot underestimate Wolves

Wolves are unbeaten in their last six league games against Tottenham, with four wins and two draws.

Moreover, Spurs have lost their last three away matches at their Midlands opponents, as many as they had in their previous 16 visits to Molineux (10 wins, three draws, three losses).

Indeed, the last time Tottenham beat Wolves was way back in August 2022, where the north London team scraped out a 1-0 win.

Tottenham lead the overall head-to-head by 52 wins to 34 losses, along with 23 draws, but Wolves have come out on top recently.

Spurs are just one game short of their all-time longest winless run in the league, when Tottenham went 16 matches without a win between December 1934 to April 1935.

It remains to be seen what starting XI De Zerbi will pick against Wolves. But if they want to climb out of the relegation zone – and leapfrog West Ham, who are two points ahead of them – a victory is a must.

Wolves’ home record says it all about Spurs’

Wolves have been in the relegation zone for the entirety of the season.

But their home form is better than Tottenham’s, with 12 points from 16 matches, compared to Spurs’ 11 from 17.

Wolves will fancy their chances against Tottenham, who may be doomed to relegation if they taste defeat on Saturday.

These past two league seasons have not been good for both sides, with Tottenham picking up just 69 points, with Wolves down at 59. This could be a dicey affair to say the least.
