Toffees favourites to hold Wolves in a cagey tie
Everton will be a challenge for Championship side Wolves on Wednesday night in a game that looks likely to be a tight match at Hill Dickinson Stadium, England. The Toffees are having a mixed patch of form in the top-flight 2026/2027, but they are strong enough to be unbeaten in 5 with 2 wins and 3 draws.
Their two most recent games have ended as ties after a 1-1 away draw at Bournemouth was followed by a 2-2 home draw with Manchester United. Wolves are 3-1-1 across their last 5 in the second tier, but this will be a hard test for the visiting side.
Everton have a home advantage
Tactics
David Moyes has his Everton side playing in a compact, well-disciplined way, with a mid-to-low block and transition play at both ends of the field. Cesar Peixoto is playing his Wolves team in a more direct manner, with long balls and some flank overloads, but they haven't looked as crisp in their pressing or second-ball control.
Form
Wolves have been solid on the road, where they have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their 5 games in all current competitions, but they have also conceded 7 goals on the way to that record. Everton have played better at home than away, going unbeaten with 2 wins and 2 draws in their 4 games there across all current competitions.
Tight match could suit under strategy
They have only conceded 4 goals in this period, and so they will look to keep it cagey against a Wolves side that can score but are also liable to allow Everton opportunities of their own on the counter attack.
- Everton are 1.66 favourites to win this game, ahead of 5.5 for the visitors and 3.98 for a draw, but there could be enough of an away threat in the visitors to make the both teams to score odds too tight.
- Under 2.5 goals at 2.06 fits the general feel of the game better as Moyes' side, in keeping with cup ties, try to hold up and grind it out against Wolves.
- Everton have the extra quality to win this tie, but Wolves have failed to win either of their last two away games at Everton and could force a draw here.
