Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
English Premier League, KO: 12:30 Aug 20, 2022, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR will be looking to continue their unbeaten start to the Premier League season when they lock horns with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday lunchtime.
The arrival of Antonio Conte turned Spurs' season around last term and there are high hopes ahead of his first full campaign in charge.
The capital club comprehensively defeated Southampton by a 4-1 scoreline in their curtain-raiser before earning a last-gasp 2-2 draw in a fiery London derby with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last weekend.
While Spurs will be in high spirits following last week's heroics, they will be keen to return to winning ways when Wolves come to town this weekend.
Despite finishing tenth last season, there were plenty of causes for concern for the Old Gold heading into the 22/23 campaign.
After opening their season with a 2-1 loss at Leeds, Wolves drew 0-0 with newly-promoted Fulham last weekend, in what was another worrying sign for Bruno Lage's men.
Outright Betting
Tottenham, who have won seven of their last eight league matches at home, head into this weekend's Premier League opening fixture as heavily-fancied 4/11 (Bet 365) favourites.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are winless in their last nine Premier League matches and that is reflected in the pricing, with an away win chalked up at 8/1 (Betfred) while the draw is unfancied 9/2 (Betfred) with the same firm.
Betting Angles
Tottenham are too short to side with at the aforementioned quote but combining over one Spurs goal with under two Wolves goals will bring about a backable 4/5 (Bet 365) Bet Builder.
Spurs have improved dramatically as an attacking force since Antonio Conte took the reins, with the hosts slamming in 66 goals across their 30 league games under the Italians watch, averaging 2.2 goals per game.
What's more, the Lilywhites have struck at least twice in 20 matches across that 30-game sample, including 12 of their last 15 Premier League home matches.
As such, I'm more than happy to back Tottenham to strike twice on Saturday but to nudge up the price, I'll also go with under two Wolves goals.
As already alluded to, the men from Molineux are winless in their last nine league games, with goals proving a real problem as they have failed to score more than once on eight of those occasions, firing a blank in four fixtures from that sequence.
With this in mind, coupled with the fact that the aforementioned Bet Builder has paid out in 10 of Tottenham's 15 top-flight home matches under Conte's tutorship, supporting the same combination on Saturday lunchtime stands out at 4/5 (Bet 365).
After getting off the mark in dramatic fashion at Stamford Bridge last Sunday, I'll also have a nibble on Harry Kane to get on the scoresheet again this weekend at 10/11 with Bet 365.
The Spurs sharpshooter has struck at least once in four of his last five top-flight outings and he is also on penalties which is always an added incentive when delving into this market.
