Leicester vs Wolves Betting Tips - Over 2.5 Goals

Leicester and Wolves come into this Premier League clash struggling for form, with defensive frailties and inconsistent performances defining their campaigns so far. 

The Foxes return to action after a desperately disappointing performance in their 4:0 midweek defeat against Newcastle. Offering little in the final third, Leicester were well beaten on the night. 

Now under the stewardship of Dutch boss Ruud Van Nistelrooy, the Foxes had enjoyed a morale-boosting 3:1 win against West Ham before a 2:2 draw against Brighton in their most recent home fixtures.

High-scoring outcomes have been frequent for Leicester this season. Only one of their last ten games failed to deliver at least three goals scored.

Like the hosts, Wolves come into Saturday's contest having seen plenty of high-scoring outcomes this season. Only one of their last 13 matches saw under three goals scored. 

Amid a four-game losing streak, Wolves have parted ways with head coach Gary O’Neill, making way for seasoned Portuguese manager Vitor Pereira to take charge.

Wolves will hope for a new manager bounce, and we should expect a competitive contest with goals likely considering the frail defense of both sides. On the road, Wolves have seen an average of four goals scored across eight away fixtures this season, and another high-scorer can be expected on Saturday. 

Over 2.5 goals is my top tip in a game where both teams are likely to get on the scoresheet.
