Leeds host one of the most surprising form teams in the Premier League, Wolves, at Elland Road on Saturday. The visitors are tenth in the table, with 12 points from ten games, after winning their last three matches. The most recent of those victories was one of the most astonishing we'll see this season as Wolves overturned a two-goal deficit to win 3-2 at Aston Villa with a decisive goal flying in deep into stoppage time. Leeds have not provided a moment like that this season and it's probably a contributing factor in them sitting 17th with six points, three clear of the relegation zone. Marcelo Bielsa's side has failed to win seven of their eight matches this season, losing on four occasions. One thing offering encouragement to Leeds is that their last home game brought their first win, a 1-0 triumph against Watford. Beating Wolves may prove trickier, though, especially when one considers Leeds' recent record against their guests. Wolves have won their last five meetings with Leeds in all competitions, a run that includes three victories at Elland Road.

If the manner of Wolves' win at Villa was surprising, the result itself should not have been. It was the fourth successive away win in all competitions for a Wolves side who have made a habit of winning on the road. They also love to leave it late before claiming victory. The last ten away goals scored by Wolves have all been in the second half. No team in the Premier League has completed more dribbles away from home than Wolves. This is partly down to the fact that Adama Traore is a dribbling machine and partly down to the superb conditioning of a Wolves team that give their all until the final whistle. We advise backing an away win.
