Supercomputer predicts how likely Tottenham are to beat Wolves in must-win relegation fixture
Opta’s Supercomputer has calculated the likelihood of Tottenham Hotspur securing their first league victory of 2026 when they face Wolves at Molineux Stadium.
Tottenham believed they had finally clinched their maiden league win of the calendar year against Brighton last Saturday, only for the Seagulls to shatter those hopes with a dramatic stoppage-time equalizer.
The late blow severely damaged Spurs’ chances of staying in the Premier League. To make matters worse, West Ham picked up a valuable point away at Selhurst Park on Monday, moving two points clear of their London rivals.
Some pundits now struggle to see where Tottenham’s next win will come from, as Roberto De Zerbi’s side rapidly run out of games to save their season.
Opta’s Supercomputer says Tottenham vs. Wolves is too close to call
The Lilywhites are in desperate need of three points against Wolves on Saturday, but Opta’s Supercomputer suggests the outcome is finely balanced.
The data platform gives Tottenham a 37.9% chance of winning in the West Midlands, while the home side has a 35.9% probability of handing Spurs yet another away defeat.
A draw is considered the least likely result at Molineux, with the website estimating a 26.2% chance that the points will be shared.
Why West Ham’s draw with Crystal Palace might benefit Spurs
Tottenham would have preferred West Ham to lose at Crystal Palace, given that both London clubs are now locked in a direct battle to avoid relegation.
However, the Hammers’ point in South London did have one consequence: it mathematically confirmed Wolves’ relegation from the Premier League.
That means Rob Edwards’ side now have nothing left to play for—a fact Tottenham will hope works to their advantage when they travel to the Midlands this Saturday.
