Wolverhampton Wanderers Leicester City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is the occurrence of few goals. The two teams have solid defenses, but their attacks are inefficient and score few goals. In addition, Leicester City play very well defensively away from home, did not concede goals in their last 2 away games and their last 6 matches in the opponent's field had a maximum of 2 goals on the scoreboard, having scored only 1 goal in 4 of these games while Wolverhampton did not score goals in 3 of the last 5 home games. In view of these factors, we believe in a closed game, without great emotions and low score.

Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City meet at Molineux Stadium, in a match for the 23th round of the Premier League. Leicester City got a home win by (2‑0), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 18‑08‑2018. The head‑to‑head history indicates total balance, since there is a record of 1 draw and 1 win for each team in the last 3 matches. The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 25‑09‑2018, and ended in a (1‑3) win by Leicester City, after a penalty shootout. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since Leicester City presents significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Wolverhampton

After 8 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses, the home team is in the 11th position, havinf won 29 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Manchester City by (3‑0), after in the previous match they have lost (0‑2) at home, against Crystal Palace. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home league matches Wolverhampton Wanderers has a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses, so they have won 13 points out of 30 possible. There are a few recurrent results in their home matches: at half‑time 0‑0 (4 out of 11 matches) and after the 90' 0‑2 (4 out of 11 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 10 of the last 11 for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 13 of their 22 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 11 home matches for this competition there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 5 of their 12 goals between minutes (76'‑90'); they have conceded 7 of their 15 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

Wolverhampton come to this round in search of recovery after losing their last 2 games and registering only 1 win in the last 5 rounds. The team has a reasonable defensive sector that has conceded 28 goals and is the sixth least leaked of the competition, but the attack needs to improve, since it has scored only 23 goals and is the sixth worst of the competition, so much so that it has not scored goals in the last 2 rounds. 
Playing at home like this Saturday's match, Wolverhampton often find it difficult, they have lost 5 of their last 7 matches and conceded at least 2 goals in those 5 defeats, as they need to be more offensive in this condition and end up leaving many spaces behind. 
For the game against Leicester City, coach Nuno Espírito Santo will not be able to count on defender Boly, who was sent off in the last round.

Analysis Leicester

The away team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with 31 points won, after 9 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Everton, by (0‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Southampton, by (1‑2). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 14 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Leicester City has a record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 17 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches there are a few frequent results at half‑time: 0‑0 (4 out of 11 matches) and 1‑0 (4 out of 11 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 7 of the last 11 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 22 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 14 times and have only turned the score around in 3. In the last 11 away matches for this competition there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 5 of their 13 goals between minutes (76'‑90'); they have conceded 5 of their 13 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Leicester City have been acting rather unevenly in the Premier League with 3 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches and need to perform better to try to get closer to the UEFA Europa League qualifying zone next season. The team has a good quality defense that has only conceded 25 goals and is the fifth less leaked of the competition, so much that it suffered more than 1 goal in only 1 of the last 6 Premier League games, whereas the attack needs to improve, since it only scored 28 goals and is the tenth worst of the Premier League. 
Playing away from home, such as this Saturday's match, Leicester City come from 2 great victories where they did not concede goals, playing very close and exploiting the counterattacks quite a lot, since the team hold fast players that quickly reach the offensive field and, for many times they take their opponents by surprise. 
For the clash with Wolverhampton, coach Claude Puel should keep the same lineup as the last round as his injured players will not recover in time to be on the field.
