Paul Merson has predicted Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur to play out a 2-2 draw with Bruno Lage’s Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League this weekend, as quoted in SportsKeeda.
Tottenham will take on Wolves at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.
Former Arsenal star and Sky Sports pundit Merson believes that the game will end in a 2-2 draw.
The Englishman has added that Tottenham’s performance against Southampton in midweek worried him.
Spurs went down 3-2 to Southampton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Wednesday evening.
Wolves suffered a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at home in the league on Thursday evening.
Merson wrote on SportsKeeda: “That was a stinking result for Tottenham the other day. They had games in hand, and they could have been a shoo-in for the Premier League top four. Now, they’ve fallen behind.
“Tottenham’s performance worried me the other night – they got absolutely slaughtered. If they’d won that game, it would’ve just papered over the cracks.
“Both teams have to win this game. A draw here is no good and will just help the likes of Arsenal, West Ham, and Man United.
“Wolves lost to Arsenal in their midweek game, and will need to play Arsenal away from home. They need a win here, but I see both teams playing out a draw this weekend.”
Who will win Tottenham Hotspur v Wolverhampton Wanderers
In our view, the match between Tottenham and Wolves at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend will be very exciting.
Tottenham are conceding more goals than they would like, while Lage’s Wolves play attacking football.
We are certain that there will be goals in this game.
In our opinion, Tottenham are the more likely side to win.
Conte does have a better team, and the players will be determined to bounce back from the disappointing defeat to Southampton, especially in front of their own fans.
