How likely Wolves are to secure another win in Everton clash, Opta predicts the outcome

Wolves will be hoping to use the momentum of their first win of the season to secure what would be an unprecedented back-to-back victory this season.

Next up for Rob Edwards’ side is Everton, which the Wanderers have already faced twice this season. As it stands, it could be tough to call. The head-to-head from just this campaign’s showdowns stands at one apiece.

The Toffees bested Wolves in the Premier League at Molineux in a five-goal thriller, but weeks later, the Wanderers enacted revenge by knocking them out of the Carabao Cup.

The introduction of Mateus Mane to this Wolves side certainly adds firepower and no doubt increases the chances of a win.

Valid or outright crazy? Where do you place Mateus Mane among academy graduates at Wolves?

Early days, but the signs are so promising!

Wolves’ chances of beating Everton as per Opta

Wolves’ win over West Ham has seemingly not changed much regarding the perspective of data powerhouse Opta.

The Wanderers were certainly impressive against the Hammers, but it was the performances in prior games that truly started to make things improve at the club.

A good point at Old Trafford came after a strong performance at Anfield, in which Wolves deserved a point. And now, the chances of back-to-back wins for Rob Edwards have been rated by Opta.

Their trusty supercomputer has the Old Gold down as major underdogs when they travel to the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Wednesday.

Opta projects that Wolves have just a 17.6% chance of beating the Toffees, with the hosts coming in at 62.6%.

The likelihood of the game ending all square takes up the remaining 19.8%; however, there might be one very good reason for Rob Edwards to be optimistic.

Everton’s poor home form is a reason for confidence

There is no better time to face Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium than right now.

The Merseyside club seem to be going through a bit of a lull in their home fixtures, as they have been struggling to get results over the line.

David Moyes’ side have lost their last two games at home and have won just one of their last four at their home ground.

With Wolves now full of confidence, there is every chance that the Wanderers can inflict more pain on the Toffees and make that three home losses on the bounce.

It is a must-win game, as three points could genuinely paint a different picture in the relegation battle with plenty of points still to play for, even if Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker don’t agree.
