Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Molineux Stadium will host Tuesday’s Premier League game between Wolverhampton and Everton. The Wolves eliminated Crystal Palace in the FA Cup last 64 thanks to Adama Traore’s goal, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Nuno Espirito Santo’s troops aim to put an end to their four-game winless run in the Premier League, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Everton.
Key attacker Raul Jimenez remains in the recovery room, as well as Jonny, Marcal, and Podence. Boly should recover in time to face Everton. The Toffees, on the other hand, will be without Allan, Delph, and Gbamin the Molineux Stadium clash. Carlo Ancelotti’s men failed to impress in the FA Cup win (2-1) over Rotherham United, and seeing that Wolverhampton are tough to beat at home, share of spoils is on the cards.
Highlighted Player (Adama Traore):
After starting his youth career at Hospitalet, Adama Traore moved to Barcelona football academy La Masia in 2004. The pacey winger made a great progress during his spell with the Catalan giants and it has to be noted that he scored eight goals in 63 appearances for Barca B.
Adama Traore made his debut for the first team against Granada (4-0) on November 23, 2013, replacing Brazilian superstar Neymar in the 83rd minute of the match. In the summer of 2015, he signed for Aston Villa for a fee of £7 million, but he made no more than 11 appearances in the Premier League for the Vilans. At the end of the 2015/2016 season he moved to fellow English club Middlesbrough and he made his debut for the Boro in a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on September 10, 2016.
Due to his dual citizenship, Adama Traore is eligible to represent Spain and Mali at senior level, but it has to be noted that he played for youth categories of La Roja.
Highlighted Team (Everton):
Everton are one of the two Merseyside giants that were formed back in 1878, with the club holding a long-standing rivalry with Liverpool. Everton have participated in the English top flight for a record 113 seasons, with the team competing in the English second tier in just four campaigns.
The Toffees play their home matches at Goodison Park, the stadium that was opened in 1892. Everton have won the national championship nine times, with the team winning their last domestic trophy back in 1987.
The Toffees have clinched five FA Cup trophies as well and it has to be noted that a victory over Manchester United in the 1994/1995 FA Cup final helped the team win their last title in the prestigious competition. Everton and Liverpool face each other in the Merseyside derby and the clash between the two local rivals has been called the Merseyside derby since 1955.
In the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign Everton were hammered by Liverpool (0-4) at Anfield.
