Wolverhampton
In the last round, the club suffered a disappointing defeat, losing 1-2 at home to Fulham. Notably, this was their sixth loss in the last eight league matches. Vitor Pereira's side remains in 17th place, five points clear of the nearest relegation zone rival. Furthermore, Wolverhampton's games this Premier League season have been the most prolific, averaging 3.56 goals.

Predicted lineup for Wolverhampton (3-4-2-1)

Forward Matheus Cunha is suspended for three matches. Forwards Sasa Kalajdzic and Enzo Gonzalez, as well as defenders Emmanuel Agbadou, Rodrigo Gomes, and Yerson Mosquera, are out due to injuries.
Everton
The Liverpool side is unbeaten in the Premier League for seven matches, securing 4 wins and 3 draws. Such an unbeaten run has not been seen in the league since December 2017. David Moyes's men, although in a lowly 16th place in the standings, have a comfortable 15-point gap from the relegation zone trio. Additionally, Everton's matches this Premier League season have been the least prolific, averaging 2.32 goals.
- The club has a seven-match scoring streak in the Premier League.

Wolverhampton vs. Everton: Match Prediction
A clash between opponents whose matches have seen the most and least goals in the current Premier League. I expect defensive football to prevail in the upcoming encounter. The high scoring in Wolverhampton's matches is not due to Vitor Pereira's side's attacking play but rather goals conceded.
Everton is unlikely to score multiple goals, as they average 1.1 goals per game. Wolverhampton is not particularly prolific either and will be weakened by the suspension of key forward Matheus Cunha, who has scored 13 goals in the current league. Notably, in Everton's last six away matches in the Premier League, only once have more than two goals been scored. Therefore, my prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
