JAKARTA - Wolverhampton Wanderers will host Everton at the Molineux Stadium on Saturday evening March 8 in the Premier League continued. Everton, who are currently still unbeaten in the last seven matches, are looking to extend their impressive record under David Moyes. Meanwhile, Wolves are struggling to get away from the relegation zone after being knocked out of the FA Cup in a painful way.

Wolverhampton Wanderers suffered a bad fate in the FA Cup after losing on penalties to Bournemouth in a match that lasted up to 120 minutes. Matheus Cunha got a red card after being involved in an incident with Milos Kerkez, and Wolves had to end the game with great disappointment.

In the Premier League, Wolves lost 2-1 to Fulham at home, making their position even more vulnerable. Currently, Wolves are in 17th place with only five points ahead of Leicester City and Ipswich Town who are in the relegation zone. Bad statistics at home is also a serious problem for Wolves, where they lost nine to the last ten games when they conceded first.

Everton continues to show improvements under David Moyes. Finally, they managed to bounce back from behind and drew 1-1 against Brentford, with Jake O'Brien scoring the equalizer.

The Toffees have now recorded seven unbeaten matches in the Premier League. If they manage to avoid defeat at Molineux, they will equal the record of eight matches without losing the last time in Ronald Koeman's era in the 2016-17 season.

Despite still being ranked 16th, Everton have a 15-point lead over the relegation zone, making them relatively safe. Their away performance is also solid, with only one goal conceded or less in 10 of the last 11 away games.

In a previous meeting at Goodison Park last December, Everton won 4-0 over Wolves. If they win again, this will be the second time in history they have recorded a double win over Wolves in one Premier League season, after doing so for the first time in the 2020-21 season.

Wolves coach Vitor Pereira had to make major changes to his line-up after Matheus Cunha was suspended for three games due to an incident in the FA Cup. Marshall Munetsi or Hwang Hee-chan who had just recovered from an injury had the chance to replace his position.

Several other players are also still injured, including Goncalo Guedes (lut), Rodrigo Gomes (korban thigh), Sasa Kalajdzic (lutut), Yerson Mosquera (lutut), Enso Gonzalez (lutut), Leon Chiwone (lutut), and Emmanuel Agbadou (paha). Under these conditions, Wolves must be absorbed in their attack line.

While from Everton, Abdoulaye Doucoure returned to the squad after being absent due to the birth of his son. His presence will be very important for Everton's midfield.

The injuries that hit Armando Broja (article) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (paha) are close to full recovery, but will most likely not be playing in this match. Meanwhile, Iliman Ndiaye (lutut), Seamus Coleman (betis), hate McNeil (lutut), and Orel Mangala (lutut) are still absent.

Carlos Alcaraz impressed against Brentford and has the opportunity to stay in midfield. If Doucoure returns as a starter, it is likely that Jesper Lindstrom will have to give in.

Everton is in a better form and has a solid defensive record in away matches. Wolves, on the other hand, are still struggling to find stability, especially at home. With sharper attack and strong defense, Everton is predicted to be able to secure three points at Molineux.

Wolverhampton Wanderers (3-4-2-1): Sa; Doherty, Bueno, Toti; Semedo, Gomes, Andre, Ait-Nouri; Sarabia, Munetsi; Larsen

Everton (4-2-3-1): Pickford; O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; Alcaraz, Doucoure, Harrison; Beto

Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-2 Everton
