Everton vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: match statistics
Everton clearly outperforms Wolverhampton in terms of home form and overall efficiency. The hosts hold a 40% home win rate and a goal difference of -1, while Wolves are winless on the road this season (0% victories) with a catastrophic goal difference of -13. Wolverhampton has failed to score in 60% of their away matches, averaging just 0.4 goals on the road; combined with a meager 5% shot conversion rate, they rank among the league's weakest attacks. Everton surpasses the visitors across all key metrics: averaging 1.3 goals per home game versus Wolves' 0.4 away, superior xG (1.47 vs 0.97), and significantly higher possession (47% vs 42%). While recent form is similar for both sides (0.8 points per match), home advantage and Wolves' complete inability to perform away give Everton a decisive edge. The statistics unequivocally point to a home victory, although their defensive instability (only 40% clean sheets) suggests a win by a narrow margin.
