- Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16:00 CEST
- Venue: Molineux Stadium (Wolverhampton)
This season has been super interesting for Wolves. For most of the time, they were in or just one place above the danger zone. However, with the arrival of coach Vitor Pereira, they started playing much better. Right now, they are on a fantastic five-game streak and are in 15th place with 38 points from 33 rounds. Pereira's side is in a very comfortable situation as they are now 17 points from the danger zone and have mathematically secured survival. While they will most likely fail to move significantly upward on the league's table, the goal of surviving is fulfilled, which is the most important.
Leicester had interesting seasons behind them as they suffered relegation in 2022/23, gained an instant return, and then, this season, suffered relegation once again. Before the start of the season, the popular Foxes were not among the primary candidates for relegation, but they played a truly disappointing season, winning only 18 points in 33 rounds! So, we can safely say their relegation was more than earned. In the remaining games, they are without any motive.
Wolves vs Leicester pick: Wolves to win
Wolves are in a great form. They won five games in a row while beating some solid teams like Manchester United, Tottenham, and West Ham. During that five-game stretch, they did very well offensively, scoring 10 goals - 2.0 per game. Considering they averaged only 1.5 goals per game throught the season, it is a significant improvement.
Leicester, on the other hand, have been absolutely terrible, losing 23 out of 33 games - 70%. But recently, their performances were simply atrocious as they won one point in 11 games!
In the first h2h game, Wolves won 3:0. Considering the previous h2h game, the massive difference in form, and all the above, we believe the Wolves should secure a comfortable win at Molineux Stadium.
