Only a league like the Premier League can showcase managers of a certain pedigree and clubs that aim to match the same. While Conte has always asked Spurs to match his ambition, Bruno Lage’s aim at Wolves seems to win every game. So a clash between both these managers brings together something interesting.

While it may not be a clash involving two teams from the so-called big six, it certainly has a Wolves team that is slowly outperforming their big rivals. And when they take on Spurs, things could be off the charts for an epic weekend blockbuster.

Date and Venue 

Spurs are all set to welcome Wolves on the 13th of February as they are going to battle it out at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. 

A quick analysis of the 90-minute action 

Conte’s preferred formation 

One of the common elements of Conte’s teams is that they either line up with formations such as 3-5-2 or 3-4-3, thereby leaving 3 at the back. This defensive lineup has worked well for Spurs as they have started conceding fewer goals than before. Moreover, Conte has also used a 5-3-2 when Spurs faced the threat of Liverpool at home. 

Due to that, figuring out Conte’s formation will most likely tell you the mindset or the tactical build-up with which he will be setting his Spurs side. Moreover, Conte will always look to limit the attack of Wolves, which is turning out to be a constant one for all teams in the league. 

From Raul Jimenez to Joao Moutinho 

Wolves are slowly turning every week into a fun and action-packed one as they aim to qualify for European spots. After the departure of Nuno Espirito Santo, the Wolves board were quick to hire Bruno Lage and the team is now flying under the former coach of Benfica. Having won a few titles in his short career, Lage is slowly taking Wolves forward with the hope of achieving it all. 

The tactical team that he has set up is filled with veterans like Joao Moutinho and youngsters like Raul Jimenez. While Wolves always depended on the pace of Adama Traoré, they no longer rely on the same and can win games without the quick runs from Traore. 

However, it is the strong defensive units set up by Lage that seems to be the highlight of this Wolves team. While they are still following the same formation employed by Nuno, they seem to have adjusted to the principles of Bruno Lage and turned themselves into a defence-ready team that is bent on not letting a goal get past their keeper. 

The Spurs forward lineup

Conte’s forward line against Wolves will most likely include the usual names. While the pressure on Harry Kane to score more goals and meet his own standards continue, it is up to the rest to step up and keep the engine running. Scoring against Wolves has proven to be a tough task but has never been impossible. 

If Conte could spring up some confidence in his team, his front three could prove to be a real threat. They can make runs, find spaces and attack when the opportunity arises. However, Spurs will also have to improve their midfield if everything needs to work according to the plan.

Due to all that, this fixture can easily turn things upside down and prove to be an entertaining one. And if you would like to feel a part of the action, choose BritainBet and understand how. 

Will Conte or Lage be happy about a draw? 

It’s not easy to say that either of these teams have an edge over the other because of how they have performed so far. While Spurs have the support of their home crowd, they still need to adapt to Conte’s demand and system. Which is why some people believe that a draw could also be a possibility. 

Since it will most certainly be disappointing, both teams could work for things to materialize if three points are what they need. With Spurs aiming for a top-four finish and Wolves aiming for European qualification, a single point might not do them any good.
