HARRY KANE TO SCORE FIRST
Harry Kane is off the mark for Tottenham this season, and he did so in stunning fashion. The England captain netted goal number seven from 21 games against Chelsea with a 96th-minute equaliser at Stamford Bridge in what was another memorable day for Conte at the Spurs helm. Kane is now coming into this one with a goal under his belt with a rare goal in August, and the striker is in search of goal number five in nine games against Wolves. What’s more, Kane has won five of the eight matches against the Midlands side so far and scored against them in the League Cup close to this time last year after 23 minutes. Wolves have also looked incredibly weak this season, and they were only saved last weekend against Fulham because of Jose Sa’s penalty save against Aleksandar Mitrović. I think they’ll struggle all game long against a Spurs side in this sort of form, and Kane could be the first to test Sa and his backline this Saturday.KULUSEVSKI OVER 1.5 SHOTS ON TARGET
Dejan Kulusevski has been one of the best signings a Premier League side have made in the past year. The Juventus loanee has added creativity and goals to the Spurs side with absolute ease and took to the English game like a duck to water. What’s more, Kulusevski already has a goal to his name this season after an excellent finish against Southampton. He did, however, fail to have a shot in the game against Chelsea, but with the Blues seeing much more of the ball that day, things could be different in this game and the Swede is expected to line up in the attacking three once again. Whether it’s a curling effort with his fabulous left foot, or getting on the end of an exquisite Kane through ball – Kulusevski is expected to get chances in this one.OVER 11.5 TACKLES FOR WOLVES
Sticking with the trend of how Spurs should see large parts of the ball and likely catch Wolves on the counter attack at times too, Bruno Lage is going to need his men at their absolute defensive best to get a result in this game. Against Leeds who always put on an attacking display, Wolves had 15 tackles in the game despite still seeing 59% of the ball. In the clash with Fulham, Lage’s men saw the same percentage of ball possession and had 18 tackles in that one as they looked to stop the goalscoring threat of Mitrovic. Up against Kane, Son Heung-Min, Kulusevski and Richarlison, I can’t see how the tackling stats decrease in this one.SPURS TO WIN BY 2 GOALS OR MORE
Although Wolves have been praised for their defensive excellence in the last year with just 43 league goals conceded last season, they conceded twice to Leeds and only stopped a goal from going in because of a penalty save last weekend. Moreover, Spurs have scored six goals already across their 4-1 win against Southampton and 2-2 draw with Chelsea, and in truth, Lage’s side have not impressed anywhere near enough to suggest they’ll keep the goals out here. Kane is already off the mark now after the Chelsea draw, while Kulusevski has already hit the back of the net this season, with Son continuing to be a threat. The likes of Ryan Sessegnon, Eric Dier and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg have all scored too, and the goals are being shared healthily around Conte’s squad.Spurs v Wolves Bet Builder Tip
