Everton vs Wolves Prediction 7 January 2026
🔊 Will Wolverhampton extend their unbeaten run? The Wolves have started showing signs of life and will travel to face Everton in the 21st round of the Premier League. The Toffees aren't setting the world alight, but they sit comfortably mid-table and are naturally the favorites at their home ground, Goodison Park. Let's consider the odds of an upset in the upcoming match.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over their last five encounters, the teams are evenly matched with two wins each. However, it's worth noting that Wolverhampton are not intimidated by trips to Everton: the Wolves have defeated the Toffees in 3 of their last 4 away games. This was at Goodison Park. Let's see what unfolds at Hill Dickinson.
Head-to-head statistics Everton - Wolves
Everton Team Overview
Everton are maintaining a decent position in the league table, but their results have noticeably dipped. In their last five matches, the Toffees have secured just one victory-against Nottingham Forest (2-0), although their performance on the pitch was hardly superior to that of the Tricky Trees.
In the previous round, David Moyes' side faltered at home against Brentford (2-4). Jack Grealish provided two assists, marking his first contributions in over a month, but the Blues had no real chance of avoiding defeat. For the second consecutive match, they allowed their opponents to generate over 2 expected goals, and this time, luck was not on their side.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Team Overview
Wolverhampton have rewritten a few unwanted records and seem determined to put up a fight. At least, the team is showing signs of life. They've managed to string together two consecutive matches without a loss in the Premier League for only the second time this season. And it wasn't just a stroke of luck.
In the penultimate round, the Wolves deservedly secured a point at Old Trafford, drawing with Manchester United (1-1). In their last outing, they clinched their first victory of the current Premier League campaign. Most notably, West Ham, a fellow struggler in the relegation battle, were handed a resounding defeat with a 3-0 scoreline, leaving them with no chance.

Latest news
Everton
🎙 David Moyes admitted his team's defensive struggles during the post-match press conference: “I'm disappointed with our performance. We lacked quality in some areas. Today, we faltered defensively and didn't look as solid as we usually do. We're missing several creative players, and it showed at times. However, we also failed to meet our defensive responsibilities as we should have.”
❌ The "Toffees" have grown accustomed to coping without long-term absentees Seamus Coleman and Jarrad Branthwaite. The most significant recent setbacks for the team are Carlos Alcaraz and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. But these are just among the injured. Let's not forget that Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye have left for the Africa Cup of Nations.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
🎙 "We're making progress, that's clear. This is another step in the right direction, capped off with a victory today. We delivered a complete performance. It's been a very good week, during which we earned four points," Rob Edwards cheerfully stated after the match against West Ham.
❌ The Wolves' injury list continues to grow, with Toti Gomes, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Marshall Munetsi, Daniel Bentley, Rodrigo Gomes, and Hugo Bueno all sidelined. Emmanuel Agbadou is pursuing glory with the Ivory Coast national team at the Africa Cup of Nations. The latest setback is Hwang Hee-chan, who registered a goal and an assist in the win over West Ham. The Korean was substituted due to an injury, and it's uncertain if he'll feature against Everton.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The match will be officiated by the relatively unknown referee Thomas Kirk. The Englishman made his Premier League debut in early December without issuing a single card throughout the match. However, if we look at Kirk's stats in the current Championship season, it's clear he's not as lenient as he seems, averaging 4.3 cautions per game. Everton earn an average of 2.2 yellow cards at home, while Wolverhampton pick up 2.6 on the road. Therefore, a bet on over 3.5 yellow cards appears to be a reasonable prediction.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Let's rely on the hard statistics here. Wolverhampton have conceded in 23 of their last 24 Premier League matches, yet they've found some form recently, scoring in 5 of their last 6 games. Moreover, the Wolves have managed to find the net against the Toffees in 9 of their last 10 head-to-head encounters. This suggests a bet on both teams to score (yes).
🚩 Corner Prediction
The average number of corners earned by these teams ranks among the league's lowest: Everton with 4.3 per game and Wolverhampton with 3.1. In their head-to-head meetings, these figures are unlikely to be significantly exceeded, as 9 of their last 10 clashes have seen a total under 9.5 corners. We consider this an excellent betting option.
Editorial Prediction
Despite their current league position, Wolverhampton look more convincing than Everton at the moment. Rob Edwards' side have found their rhythm in attack and started scoring, whereas the Toffees are struggling defensively, as admitted by their head coach. Additionally, "Hill Dickinson" is no longer an impenetrable fortress for David Moyes' squad.
Therefore, the disparity in odds is somewhat surprising. We believe the visitors, who have gained confidence, are capable of at least extending their scoring streak, if not picking up points. Our main bet is on Wolverhampton to score, with a predicted scoreline of 1-1.
