Preview & Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leicester City

Wolverhampton Wanderers are coming into this clash against Leicester City with a strong momentum, having secured 15 points in their last 5 matches, which includes 5 wins and a 10-goal tally during that period. Their impressive form at home sees them unbeaten in their last 3 games, scoring consistently in their past 5 home fixtures. Leicester City, on the other hand, have been struggling significantly, managing just 1 point from their last 5 games and scoring only twice in that stretch.

Given Wolverhampton Wanderers’ current form and attacking prowess at home, they are likely to find the back of the net against a Leicester City side that has failed to score in 4 of their latest 5 matches. This suggests a potentially challenging day for Leicester’s defense. Wolverhampton also has the psychological edge as they have not lost in their last 6 overall encounters, whereas Leicester has not tasted victory in their previous 5 games.

Considering these trends, Wolverhampton Wanderers are favored to continue their unbeaten streak and potentially secure another victory on home soil, with their potent attack capitalizing on Leicester’s recent defensive frailties. The previous high-scoring encounter between these sides could suggest goals, but given Leicester’s scoring troubles, Wolverhampton may dominate.
