Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers is set to be a crucial encounter in the Premier League, as both teams look to improve their standings. Leicester, under the management of Steve Cooper, will be aiming to continue their unbeaten streak against teams lower in the table. Meanwhile, Gary O’Neil’s Wolverhampton Wanderers will be desperate for points as they sit in the relegation zone. Let’s dive into our Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers preview, where we will discuss betting tips, match predictions, score forecasts, and more.
When it comes to Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers betting tips, one of the most promising options is Both teams to score. Both teams have shown vulnerability in defence, with Leicester conceding goals in several recent matches and Wolves struggling defensively on their travels. Leicester have scored in every game against teams below them in the table, and with Wolverhampton’s poor away form, the match is likely to see both sides finding the back of the net.
Leicester have been solid at home in terms of offensive output, scoring 11 goals in their 8 home league games so far. Despite a leaky defence, they have been able to find the net consistently, which is promising for those backing goals in this fixture. Wolves, on the other hand, have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 5 away matches, and with Leicester’s attacking prowess, they are likely to concede again.
The Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers prediction sees Leicester as the strong favourites to come out on top. Leicester have proven themselves to be formidable opponents at home, with 2 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses in their 8 home league games this season. Although they have not been perfect at home, they have been able to secure victories against teams in a similar position to Wolves.
On the other hand, Wolverhampton Wanderers have struggled to find form, especially on the road. Sitting 19th in the Premier League standings, Wolves have conceded 20 goals in just 8 away matches and have yet to keep a clean sheet. Their defensive frailties, coupled with Leicester’s attacking capabilities, make it difficult to see Wolves leaving the King Power Stadium with anything other than a loss.
Match Prediction: Leicester City to Win. Bet with bet365.
For Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers score prediction, a 2-1 victory for Leicester is highly plausible. Both teams are capable of scoring, with Leicester’s offensive strength likely to break through Wolves’ defence. However, Wolverhampton will still pose a threat, especially given Leicester’s recent defensive lapses. The last time these two sides met at the King Power Stadium, Leicester won 2-1, which makes this scoreline a realistic outcome for this match.
As Leicester will look to bounce back after a tough loss to Newcastle, they will aim to put pressure on Wolves from the start, potentially bagging a couple of goals. Wolves, while struggling, will look to take advantage of Leicester’s weaknesses at the back, but ultimately, Leicester’s attacking firepower should secure them the win.
Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 to Leicester City. Bet with bet365.
For those betting on the Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers over/under goals prediction, the smart choice would be over 2.5 goals. Both teams have shown a tendency for high-scoring games, with Leicester’s matches averaging over 2.5 goals. Leicester’s attack has been potent, and Wolves have been involved in high-scoring games themselves, particularly away from home. Leicester have scored in every game against teams below them in the table, and with Wolves conceding at will on their travels, this match is expected to see plenty of action.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
