Recent H2H results: Competitive with Everton possession advantage but variable results
Prediction:
Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 1-0 in favor of Everton.
Everton's possession-based approach combined with Wolves' counterattacking strategy creates potential for either dominant home control or exploitable spaces on transition. Wolves must capitalize on limited opportunities given their reduced possession share. Everton's recent defensive inconsistencies could be exposed by Hwang and Arokodare on breaks.
Everton's superior form, home advantage, and possession dominance strongly favor a home victory. Wolves' catastrophic recent form and away record (0-0-4) severely limit draw or away win probability. Multiple prediction models converge on Everton victory with 50-54 percent win probability.
