xG stats:

Personnel issues:
Wolves have some serious personnel issues:
• Striker Matheus Cunha was sent off in the previous match and will miss this game.
• Goncalo Guedes is a doubt with a knee injury.
Everton also have some losses:
• Captain Seamus Coleman could miss the game with a calf injury.
• Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Idrissa Gueye are still recovering from injuries and will not be able to help the team.
Tactical Analysis:
Cunha's absence reduces Wolves' attacking potential. Norwegian striker Jorgen Strand Larsen is likely to take the lead in attack, but his effectiveness is questionable given the lack of midfield support.
David Moyes' Everton have been organised at the back and have been effective on the counter. Portuguese striker Beto has been in excellent form, scoring five goals in his last five games. His physicality and aerial ability could be key factors in this encounter.
Refereeing:
The match will be officiated by Stuart Attwell, who has shown 53 yellow cards and two red cards in 14 matches this season, averaging 3.93 cards per game. His strict officiating style could lead to a high number of bookings, especially given the intensity of the match.
Forecast:
Considering the current form of the teams, Wolverhampton's personnel problems and Everton's confident play away from home, we can assume that the visitors have a better chance of winning. It is expected that the Toffees will be able to take advantage of the weaknesses of the hosts' defense and achieve a positive result.
