Eleventh vs Bottom Side

Eleventh in the Premier League, Wolverhampton are looking for their second win in a row in the competition to keep their hopes alive. João Gomes' side are also looking to end their run of consecutive home defeats, having lost to Manchester United (3-4) and Brentford (0-2) at home.

Facing the Premier League's bottom side, Wolverhampton will be full strength, and the expectation is for another great performance from João Gomes.

Joao Gomes

Last weekend, Brazilian midfielder João Gomes was decisive in Wolverhampton's 2-1 win over Tottenham. He scored both goals in the match.

After Pablo Sarabia's corner, the Brazilian rose higher than his opponents and curled his shot into the corner past the fragile marking of Max Kilman and Toti, leaving Gary O'Neil's side in the lead before half-time.

Just when it looked like Spurs would eventually find the winning goal, João Gomes once again came up trumps to give Wolves the victory on a fatal counter-attack. Pedro Neto ran the length of the pitch before slotting the ball home for the Brazilian to beat Vicario.

Wolverhampton favorite

Wolverhampton play at home with the support of their fans and won their last match. Sheffield United, on the other hand, are bottom of the Premier League and have lost four of their last five games. So the betting tip for the winner is "Final Result - Wolverhampton".

Looking at Sheffield United's last seven games, we see an average of four goals. Wolverhampton's recent matches have also seen high scores. With that in mind, our special guess is "Over 2.5 goals".

Sheffield United

Sheffield United are currently the worst team in this edition of the Premier League, with just 13 points from 25 games and in last place in the table. Among the games they've played, they've managed just three wins, drawn four times and suffered 18 defeats.

Finally, the Blades hosted Brighton at Bramall Lane and were thrashed 5-0. In the first half, Facundo Buonanotte opened the scoring and Danny Welbeck added a second. Albion's third goal was scored by Jack Robinson, against his own goal. Simon Adingra added two more.

Wolverhampton

A recent unwanted result for Wolverhampton was their 2-0 defeat to Brentford at the Molineux Stadium. During the match, the Wolves had 17 shots and 72% possession, but only five shots on target and no goals. The Bees were effective and scored through Christian Nørgaard and Ivan Toney.

They recently visited Tottenham in the 25th round of the Premier League and came away with a 2-1 victory. After a corner from Pedro Neto, João Gomes rose alone and headed the ball into the back of the net. At the start of the second half, Kulusevski equalized for Spurs. In a fast counter-attack, the No. 7 again set up the Brazilian and the No. 8 added a second goal.
