Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction and Betting Tips | December 26, 2022
Everton will host Wolverhampton Wanderers at Goodison Park on Monday (December 26) as the Premier League returns.
The hosts have had mixed performances this season but struggled just before the international break. Everton lost 4-1 to Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup third round before suffering a 3-0 defeat to the same opponents in the league four days later. Everton are 17th in the league table with 14 points from 15 games.
Wolves, meanwhile, have endured a disastrous campaign, prompting the dismissal of manager Bruno Lage. Former Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui has arrived in the dugout and led the Wanderers to a largely comfortable 2-0 win over Gillingham in the League Cup earlier this week.
The visitors are rock-bottom in the standings with just ten points from 15 games. They will play their first Premier League game under the new boss on Monday.

Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction
Everton are on a run of back-to-back league defeats and have won just one of their last seven games. They have won just two home games all season and could struggle here.
Wolves, meanwhile, have lost four of their last five league games and will look to begin life under Lopetegui on a positive note. They have, however, struggled on the road and might settle for a point.
