Tottenham will travel to Wolverhampton's headquarters in the second week of the 2021/2022 Premier League. Their duel will be presented at the Molineux Stadium, Sunday (22/8/2021) at 20:00 WIB.
The match was also the first away party for Tottenham. The Lilywhites previously started the Premier League this season by hosting Manchester City.
However, the match against Wolves was not an easy match for Tottenham. Because, Wolves often make surprises by beating several big teams.
Tottenham are even predicted to get into trouble at Molineux, the headquarters of Wolves. Worst of all, Nuno Espirito Santo's team could lose.
Bola.net notes that there are five reasons why Tottenham could fall at Wolves headquarters. Scroll down for more information, Bolaneters.
Tottenham just lost
Before traveling to Wolves headquarters, Tottenham only appeared in the Europa Conference League. The Lilywhites face Pacos de Ferreira at the Estádio Capital de Móvel in Portugal.
As a result, Nuno Espirito Santo's team were forced to surrender by the Portuguese representative. Tottenham lost 0-1.
The defeat is believed to have an effect on the appearance of The Lilywhites. What's more, in the match against Wolves, Tottenham were guests.
Fitness Problem
The defeat to Pacos de Ferreira not only had an impact on Tottenham's mentality, but also affected the player's fitness.
Tottenham traveled to Portugal on Friday (20/02/2021), and two days later, Nuno Espirito Santo's team had to visit Wolves headquarters.
Therefore, in terms of conditions, the Wolves hosts who only played last weekend clearly have more advantages.
Bruno Lage vs Nuno Esp?rito Santo
The Wolves vs Tottenham match will be a duel of two Portuguese managers, namely Bruno Lage and Nuno Espirito Santo. Both of them have status as new managers at their clubs.
In this case, Bruno Lage is Nuno's replacement at Wolves.
However, Bruno Lage has a better record. The former Benfica coach has a success ratio of 2.13 points per game. Meanwhile, Nuno's record of success is only 1.67 points per game.
Tottenham likely without Kane
Tottenham Hotspur may not be able to strengthen Harry Kane against Wolves. In fact, the Premier League's top scorer for 2020/2021 is the backbone of The Lilywhites' attack line.
Harry Kane reportedly still has problems with fitness. On the other hand, the England national team striker was also hit by transfer issues to other clubs.
Less Powerful in the Away Party
If you refer to the results of away matches last season, Tottenham are also not too strong in the away party. The Lilywhites have only won 8, lost 6 and drawn 5.
Tottenham were also only able to get one point when they traveled to Wolverhampton Wanderers last season.
