Leicester vs Wolves Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 19/04/2023, 18:00  by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions

With just seven Premier League games remaining, Leicester City are still in the bottom three. They begin the weekend in 19th place and host Wolverhampton Wanderers who are 13th. City could even start this match bottom of the table if Southampton were to win at Arsenal on Friday evening. Leicester are only two points from safety but come into this match having lost each of their last four Premier League games. It's not been an easy fixture list though with games against in-form sides Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Manchester City. Three of those losses were by a single goal but they haven't won a league fixture since early February. That month saw them put eight goals past Villa and Tottenham but since then just one point has been earned in nine Premier League games with the last four all lost. The latest management team hasn't produced much improvement so far but they now have three league games all against sides in the bottom eight.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are looking to win their third straight league fixture. They are seven points above the bottom three and a win here would make it even more unlikely that they'll be relegated. Those two recent wins have both come on home soil with Chelsea and Brentford both beaten. Neither of those clubs are in good form at present and now Wolves take on another struggling side. They aren't so strong on the road with only two points from their last four away Premier League matches. Only two away league wins have been recorded this season with eight losses. The two wins came at Everton and Southampton, both in the bottom four at present. Wolves have only scored 11 away goals in the Premier League this season. We go for under 2.5 goals to be scored in what should be a tight and tense match.
