Everton vs Wolverhampton Game Preview

The Everton vs Wolverhampton prediction points to a lively cup night at Hill Dickinson Stadium, where the Toffees host Wolves in the English League Cup third round on Wednesday.

Everton punched their ticket to this round with a comfortable 4-0 win over Preston North End, a night defined by a Thierno Barry hat trick. David Moyes' side arrive unbeaten in the league.

Wolves booked their spot with a 2-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday and come in on a high, having edged Sheffield United via a 90th-minute Raul Jimenez goal to claim all three points.

Their previous six meetings are dead even, with two wins apiece and two ties, so there is real edge to this cup tie beyond the silverware on the line.

Everton vs Wolverhampton Recent Results

Everton remain unbeaten in the Premier League this season, though David Moyes' side have leaned on a run of scoreless draws, the latest a 0-0 stalemate at Tottenham. In the cup, they cruised past Preston 4-0, with Thierno Barry bagging a hat trick to stake his claim as the primary attacking focal point.

Wolves head to Merseyside off a narrow Championship victory, with Raul Jimenez popping up in the 90th minute against Sheffield United to seal a 1-0 result. That win snapped a stretch in which they had failed to string together back-to-back Championship victories, and they reached this round by beating Sheffield Wednesday 2-0.

Best Picks

Back Both Teams To Score - Yes in this EFL Cup tie between Everton and Wolverhampton. Take this one in the Both Teams To Score market. Both sides have found the net in three of their last four meetings, and cup rotations tend to open games up and create chances at both ends.

Back Everton -1 in the Asian Handicap market as the hosts look to assert home advantage. That is the Asian Handicap market working in your favor.

Everton vs Wolverhampton Same Game Parlay

This four-leg Same Game Parlay backs Everton on the moneyline, Thierno Barry to score anytime, both teams to score, and Ladislav Krejci to be shown a card at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Everton on the moneyline is the anchor. They are unbeaten in the league, hold home advantage, and take on a Wolves side shorn of several starters in midweek.

Barry to score anytime looks smart after his hat trick against Preston. He is the primary attacking focal point and should get his looks against a patched-up Wolves defense.

Both teams to score fits the picture too, with these sides netting in three of their last four meetings and cup rotations tending to leave games open.

Krejci to be shown a card rounds it out. He operates in central defense and faces a tough physical assignment tracking Everton's attack all night.

The four-leg SGP clocks in at a best combined price of +1600 and as short as +1274 at other books. That spread in potential return works out to a $33 difference on a $10 stake from the top price to the shortest available.

Everton vs Wolverhampton Talking Points

Rotation is the story on both sides. Ahead of the game, Wolves head coach César Peixoto made his approach clear, saying, "I want to give players confidence, give them minutes and give them space to show their quality in games because I have confidence in them all," which points to fresh legs coming in after Jimenez's stoppage-time winner sealed a narrow road victory over Sheffield United. Everton, meanwhile, arrive off a 0-0 draw at Tottenham and should welcome back Tyler Dibling and Hayden Hackney, giving David Moyes' unbeaten side a sharper edge as they chase a place in the next round.
