Leicester vs Wolves Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions
A new era begins at Wolverhampton Wanderers with Vitor Pereira as their new coach. They are 19th in the Premier League and travel to Leicester City who are 17th in the table. Wolves will definitely be in the relegation zone at Christmas. They begin the weekend five points from safety and it's Leicester they need to catch. A win will give them hope but defeat will see the gap between them and safety extend to at least six points.
Leicester City also changed their coach recently, despite not being in the bottom three. Ruud Van Nistelrooy is in charge now and the Foxes are a place and two points above the relegation zone as the weekend begins. However, a win for Ipswich Town at home to Newcastle United will mean they will begin Sunday's match in the bottom three. Can the Foxes get a win over the Wolves? Read our match prediction.

Leicester - Wolves: Form Analysis
Leicester City have 14 points from their 16 games in this season's Premier League. Only three league games have been won this season with eight being lost. Their most recent match saw them beaten 4-0 away at Newcastle United.
That ended a promising run of four points from two games, though both were played at home. The Foxes beat West Ham and then recovered from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Brighton. Two of their home league games this season have been won with all but one league game seeing both teams score. With Liverpool, Manchester City and Aston Villa up next, City really need something from this match.
Winning is so important for Wolves.
Wolves have just eight points this season and a loss here would see them at least seven points from safety. They also have a tough fixture list ahead of them so three points on Sunday would be an early Christmas present for them.
Their most recent match saw them lose 2-1 at home to Ipswich Town. That was their fourth successive league defeat with 12 goals conceded. Only one away league game has been won this season with six of the last seven seeing both teams score.

Leicester & Wolves Squad Analysis
Mads Hermansen is a doubt for the home side. He went off at half-time in last weekend's loss at Newcastle United. The goalkeeper was replaced by Danny Ward who has played in the Premier League for City in the past. Harry Winks made his return last weekend and Facundo Buonanotte could start this week after being a sub last weekend. Wilfred Ndidi is a doubt for this match.
Also doubtful is striker Odsonne Edouard. Boubakary Soumara was suspended for the game at Newcastle but he's available for this weekend's fixture.
Suspension problems for Wolves.
Rayan Ait-Nouri will be suspended for this trip to Leicester City. He was sent off in the tunnel after a rowdy end to the game against Ipswich Town last weekend. Matheus Cunha could also be suspended after being charged by the FA for his part in the tunnel chaos.
Back from suspension though is Joao Gomes but Pablo Sarabia and Boubacar Traore are both going to miss this match. The same applies to Jose Sa who has a shoulder injury but is close to a return.

Our Leicester vs Wolves Prediction
Both clubs have changed their coach in recent weeks. Leicester were the first to go down that route and had made a promising start under Ruud van Nistelrooy. They lost 4-0 at Newcastle last week though but have earned four points from their last two home league fixtures.
Wolves have been conceding far too many goals of late but have scored more away league goals than Leicester have at home. Our main Leicester v Wolves prediction is both teams to score.
