Wolverhampton vs Leicester Premier League Prediction

In October 2003, Wolverhampton Wanderers’ only home game (11th, 29 points) was in the Premier League against Leicester City (8th, 31 points). It was a game that remembered any Wolves fan for a long time, as the Wolves converted a 3-0 halftime deficit to a 4-3 victory. A similar spectacle can not be expected on Saturday afternoon at the opening of the 23rd Premier League matchday at 13:30 (live on Dazn and Sky Sports). Especially for guest coach Claude Puel an important game, because the Frenchman is counted among the Foxes. Celtic coach Brendan Rodgers is said to be the top candidate for a successor.

However, it is unlikely that Rodgers will change to the Foxes during the season – not only because of his own goals with Celtic (Europa League, Triple-Triple), but also because in the summer a new job due to a possible Pochettino departure at Tottenham could open up, which Rodgers would certainly taste more than the job in Leicester. This season, it is the only way to become “Best of the Rest” after the top six teams, as Leicester have already been eliminated in both cup competitions. Despite all this, the Foxes have the chance to win three away games in a row for the Wolves for the first time since April 2016. Not unlikely, if you believe in Wolverhampton and Leicester the forecast and the odds of bookmakers. Because the game should be extremely balanced. Thus, between Wolverhampton and Leicester, a tip on “both teams meet” also not hurt.

Wolverhampton vs Leicester Betting Prediction Wolverhampton – Statistics & Current Form

In the FA Cup Wolverhampton could book the ticket for the next round against a Liverpool reserve. In the Premier League, however, it hailed last two defeats in a row. Was the failure last Monday, at the latest after the early deferral of defender Willy Boly (19th minute) against the overwhelming Manchester City is not a big surprise, hurts the recent home defeat against Crystal Palace all the more. Against the Citizens Wolves remained the first time since May 2012 (against Everton) in a Premier League game scored a goal. Since not every team is as fortunate as Burnley last weekend, who scored with two own goals against Fulham without their own shot on goal, the Wolves record has only one win from the past five Premier League games (one draw, three defeats) ,

At home in Molineux, the Wolves lost five of their most recent seven games (two wins). An unfamiliar feeling for the men of coach Nuno Espirito Santo, who had previously lost only two of his first 27 league home games (18 wins, seven draws). Nevertheless, at Wolverhampton against Leicester the forecast of the bookmaker is heading home; This shows in the Wolves against the Foxes at their quotas. The Wolves are particularly susceptible to standard situations. Ten of the last 16 goals resulted from a dormant ball for the opponent (four corners, four free kicks, two penalties). The dismissal of Boly also continued a black series. Because whenever the Wolves conceded a relegation in the Premier League, the game was not won (two draws, eleven defeats). However, it was the first dismissal since April 2012, when Sebastien Bassong had to take a shower early against Arsenal. Boly misses the Wolves suspended on Saturday.

Wolverhampton vs Leicester Betting Prediction

Leicester – Statistics & Current Form

It is difficult for an outsider to understand why Claude Puel’s work is questioned on the basis of the bare numbers. The highest of emotions for Leicester is seventh place behind the top six teams. Of these, Leicester currently separates a dot. Since Leicester will have nothing to do with the descent, but Puel flew the fixtures in the League Cup against a C-Elf from Manchester City and especially the embarrassing Cup-out at fourth division Newport around the ears. The fans are longing for a cup success and to give this chance out of hand, many fans and experts pissed off. Puel sparred in the FA Cup, the regular players for the Premier League, but then lost the subsequent league match at home despite 45-minute overpopulation with 1: 2 against Southampton. So where is the meaning of the protection? A much bigger thorn in the eye is the fans the unattractive style of play. Even leaders like Jamie Vardy commented critically on demand. Shooting star Maddison has often found himself only on the bench since Puel prefers to play with three defensive midfielders. Even in Southampton Puel was dismissed despite finishing eighth and League Cup final due to the unattractive style of play. It could be fatal again.

Under Puel, only five of the past 18 Premier League home games have been won. In the past three years it was almost impossible to get hold of a card in the King Power, you saw last big holes in the stands. Fathers leave their children at home because football under Puel is too boring. Of course, it must be remembered that Leicester was having a hard time following the death of club boss Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. Nevertheless, Puel seems to be just a temporary coach and will have to take his hat off at the latest in the summer. Leicester scored 18 Premier League games this season, more than any other team outside the top six. It seems likely on Saturday, too, that Wolverhampton v Leicester could be a good choice for “Both teams to score”. Only Cardiff (15) took the first goal of the match more often than the Foxes (14). However, Leicester avoided a defeat more often than any other team (three wins, three draws).

Best goalscorers in the Premier League:
