The first match between Wolves and Tottenham came in 1908 when both clubs were in the second tier of English football.

The last five Wolves vs Tottenham H2Hs
Wolves 0-1 Tottenham – 22 August 2021
Tottenham started the season with ex-Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo in charge and in his first away match as Spurs boss, he travelled back to Molineux. Santo's team took the lead after ten minutes thanks to a Dele Alli penalty and then parked the bus for the remainder of the match.

Spurs would end up reaching the semi-finals where they lost to Chelsea.
Tottenham 0-2 Wolves – 13 February 2022
Wolves' most recent win away at Tottenham came in February 2022. Antonio Conte was in the hot seat at Spurs by this point but he couldn't do anything to stop Wolves walking away with three points here. Two first half strikes from Jimenez and Dendoncker secured the three points for Wolves who would end up finishing in tenth place in the table.
Tottenham 1-0 Wolves – 20 August 2022
At the beginning of last season, Spurs defeat Wolves courtesy of a second half strike from Harry Kane. Many people thought Tottenham would be serious title challengers at this point after Antonio Conte had turned their season around in the previous campaign. Ultimately, Conte was sacked after Christmas and Tottenham finished in 8th place.
Wolves 1-0 Tottenham – 04 March 2023

Wolves vs Tottenham H2H: Potential MVP
Since Harry Kane left the club in the summer, Son Heung-Min has taken on the role as leader of this Tottenham team and things have gone excellently for the South Korean thus far. He is now the captain of the side and has eight goals and one assist to his name in eleven Premier League appearances so far this season.
This is a huge improvement on his performances last season which had led to many people wonder whether Son's best years were behind him. On Saturday, he will be looking to score his third goal against Wolves.
Wolves vs Tottenham H2H – Key trend
If Wolves can secure the three points on Saturday then it will be the first time since 1968 that they will have managed back-to-back home victories over Tottenham. This might be a good time to play Spurs too with Postecoglou without three first choice defenders and James Maddison for the trip to Molineux. We are backing Wolves to get a result but for Son Heung-Min to get on the scoresheet.
