Everton and Wolves meet at Goodison Park in a clash where both teams arrive after emotionally charged results, but with very different underlying trends.
Prediction: Everton to Win & Both Teams to Score – No
This matchup points toward a controlled home victory. Everton’s usual defensive solidity at Goodison Park and Wolves’ still-fragile attacking output away from home suggest a clean-sheet win for the hosts.
Everton Still Reliable at Home Despite Recent Setbacks
Everton’s form has dipped recently, pushing them back into the second half of the table. For the first time in over a year, they have lost two consecutive home matches, going down 2-4 to Brentford last weekend after a narrow defeat to Arsenal. Despite that, their overall home performances this season have generally been solid, with few goals conceded and a strong tendency toward low-scoring games. The Brentford match looks more like an exception than a new trend.
Wolves Finally Break the Curse, but Questions Remain
Wolverhampton finally ended their long nightmare run by recording their first win of the season, a convincing 3-0 home victory over West Ham. The clean sheet was especially encouraging, following a competitive performance away at Manchester United. However, it is important to note that this breakthrough came at home. Away from Molineux, Wolves have consistently struggled to create chances and apply sustained pressure.
