Tottenham Hotspur fans are going to have their fingers crossed after Gary Neville’s latest prediction.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side are preparing to make the trip to Wolves, knowing that anything but three points is a huge disappointment.

Saturday’s hosts had their relegation officially confirmed on Monday as a result of West Ham’s goalless draw with Crystal Palace.

It has been a dismal term for the Old Gold, who have spent the entirety of the campaign in the bottom three.

However, they carry a fantastic record against Tottenham, and will look to further damage Spurs’ survival hopes as the season reaches the final weeks.

Gary Neville has say on Wolves vs Tottenham outcome

Since Wolves’ promotion to the Premier League in 2018, they have largely had Tottenham’s number.

Both at home and away, the Midlanders have proven a real thorn in the Lilywhites’ side, and go into the weekend unbeaten in six matches against Spurs.

And alongside the unbeaten run, Wolves have not fallen to defeat against Saturday’s opponents in five matches on home soil spanning five years.

Winning just three times at Molineux since 2018, the place has not been a happy hunting ground for Spurs, though pundit Neville believes that De Zerbi’s side will finally bring this period of misfortune to an end.

“I don’t think Wolves will win,” he said on The Overlap. “I think Tottenham are going to score a late winner – 2-1.”

In the last two seasons, Wolves and Tottenham are the two ever-present sides with the fewest points, racking up 59 and 69 respectively. They have also suffered the most defeats in the division, with 42 and 38.

Further damage will be inflicted on Saturday, and fans of the North London outfit will be praying that they are the ones celebrating come the final whistle.

Although it is also worth pointing out that Wolves have lost 22 Premier League games this season. Only in four previous top-flight campaigns have they lost more, most recently in 2011-12.

Tottenham fans will want one final memory at Molineux

With relegation confirmed for Rob Edwards and his side, Tottenham will be looking to rub salt in the wounds at the weekend, and go a long way to confirming that it is not going to be themselves joining Wolves and Burnley in the Championship.

Molineux has been a horrible place for the Lilywhites since 2018, with Spurs losing in some almost-comedic ways.

Fans will remember the last-minute chaos of 2023, when goals from Pablo Sarabia and Mario Lemina saw Wolves come from a goal behind to win in injury time, or when Adama Traore rattled in a late winner off the crossbar earlier that year.

Tottenham’s most recent league win at Molineux came in 2021, with Dele Alli scoring from the spot under Nuno Espirito Santo.

Should results elsewhere go in their favour, De Zerbi’s side could climb out of the relegation zone this weekend.

Though, that is reliant on a win in the Midlanders, finally bringing an end to this poor run before Wolves’ relegation.
