Wolves and Leicester go head-to-head in the Premier League on Saturday, April 26th, at 3pm (UK time). The match will not be broadcast live in the United Kingdom. The Foxes have already been relegated back to the Championship, while Wolves sit 15th in the table after a strong second half of the campaign under Vito Pereira.
Wolves to win to nil (9/5 with William Hill)
Vitor Pereira has worked wonders at Wolves, steering the club away from what once seemed like certain relegation to safety with room to spare. It’s been a remarkable turnaround, and one that hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Old Gold faithful—who are now hoping the Portuguese boss receives the backing he deserves this summer. After years of entering each season with nerves over survival, the fans are yearning for a more stable future.
Considering the limited squad depth he’s had to work with, Pereira’s ability to guide the team into such strong form is all the more impressive. It’s a testament to his management that, after such a bleak start, we’re now talking about Wolves as confident favourites in matches. Wolves have won five consecutive matches, while Leicester have not won a Premier League game since January.
Matheus Cunha anytime goalscorer & Wolves to Win (7/4 with Betfred)
Matheus Cunha has undoubtedly been the star of Wolves’ campaign, notching his 16th goal of the season in their recent 4-2 victory over Tottenham at Molineux.
The Brazilian forward also has a strong track record against Leicester, having found the net in both of his previous encounters with the Foxes— including a goal at the King Power Stadium earlier this season
How both teams go into Wolves vs Leicester
Wolves have well and truly pulled themselves away from danger, with an impressive five-game winning streak and run of just two defeats from their last ten league matches lifting them to 15th place on 38 points. That leaves Wolves 17 points clear of Ipswich in 18th, with just five games and 15 points left to play for.
A few months ago, this game looked like it could be a six-pointer in the relegation battle, but alongside Wolves’ resurgence, Leicester have taken just one point from their last ten games, failing to score nine times.
