Wolverhampton Wanderers Recent form
Three days after Chelsea’s defensive weaknesses were exposed in a 2-1 victory, Wolves took advantage of a poor performance from Brentford defender Nathan Collins, who made mistakes leading to two of Wolves’ four goals. Hwang Hee-chan and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde capitalized on Collins’ errors, and Collins himself missed an opportunity to score with a close-range header. Wolves’ clinical finishing, including goals from Hwang and Mario Lemina, contributed to their 4-0 win.
Despite benefiting from Brentford’s mistakes, Wolves manager O’Neil still highlighted his team’s ability to convert their chances. The win moved Wolves up to 11th in the Premier League table, level on points with Chelsea and Bournemouth. This victory also marked the first time this season that Wolves have won consecutive Premier League matches. However, they have not won or scored in their last four games at the end of the calendar year. The last time they won a year-end game was in 2018 against Tottenham Hotspur. Nonetheless, Wolves have a good chance to break this streak at Molineux, where they have not lost in their last seven Premier League games.
Everton Recent form
Everton’s recent winning streak came to an end as they lost against Manchester City. Despite initially taking the lead, they were unable to maintain their advantage and ultimately succumbed to a second-half comeback from their opponents. The defeat marks Everton’s third consecutive loss, following their previous defeats against Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham. Their position in the Premier League now hangs in the balance, as they only hold a one-point lead over Luton Town, with an extra game played. However, Everton remains hopeful, as they have a history of success in their end-of-year away fixtures. Their upcoming match against Wolves will be a significant test, as they have struggled in previous encounters with the team.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton Key Stats
- Wolves have improved against Everton, winning four out of their last five league encounters, as many victories as they had managed in their prior 21 top-flight meetings with Everton.
- Everton’s track record at Molineux is mediocre, securing just two wins in their nine Premier League games at the venue.

- At home, Wolves have maintained a commendable seven-match unbeaten streak in the league, scoring in their last 16 Premier League home games, their longest scoring run at Molineux since the mid-1960s.
- Everton’s away form has been strong, winning five out of their last seven away league fixtures, surpassing their combined away wins from the past two seasons.
- Despite their historical dominance, Wolves haven’t won their final league game in the past four years and face an Everton side with a solid away record, led by a manager who’s seen just two losses in 13 league matches against Wolves.
AI Predicts Winner of Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
We gave the stats, recent head-to-head game facts, and current form of both the teams to Natural Language processing AIs (ChatGpt and Bard), and here are the results.
ChatGPT’s prediction
“Given Wolves’ recent dominance against Everton, their strong home form, and Everton’s inconsistent record at Molineux, Wolves seem poised for victory. Additionally, Wolves’ scoring prowess at home and Everton’s recent away successes suggest an advantage for Wolves in clinching this fixture.”
Bards’s prediction
“Despite Everton’s recent away form and Dyche’s record against Wolves, Wolves’ home scoring streak, O’Neil’s unbeaten home run, and their historical dominance over Everton tip the scales towards a Wolves victory, potentially ending their year-end winless streak at home.”
Our Experts Predict Winner of Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Everton
Unless James Tarkowski or Jarrad Branthwaite perform as poorly as Collins did on Wednesday night, Wolves will not be able to score four goals again, even if Hwang is given permission to play upfront. Even if the striker’s back problem worsens, O’Neil’s team still has various players who can score from different parts of the field. Furthermore, not many visiting teams have dominated the Molineux stadium this season, so we believe that the hosts will continue their winning streak while adding to Everton’s consecutive losses.
