Team Form and Analysis:
Wolverhampton Wanderers has endured a nightmare start to their Premier League campaign, currently sitting at the bottom of the table with zero points from their first four matches. The hosts are coming off a disappointing 1-0 away defeat to Newcastle United, a result that marked their fourth consecutive loss. Under manager Vítor Pereira, Wolves have been particularly poor in attack, scoring only two goals so far this season. The hosts will be looking to their home advantage to turn their fortunes around. They are dealing with a number of key injuries to players like Jorgen Strand Larsen, who is a doubt, and Enso Gonzalez, who is a long-term absentee.
Leeds United, meanwhile, has also had a difficult start to their campaign, currently sitting in 16th place with four points from their first four matches. The visitors are coming off a heartbreaking 1-0 away defeat to Fulham, a result that extended their winless run to three matches. Under manager Daniel Farke, Leeds has been a well-organized side but has struggled to find the back of the net, having failed to score in their last three league outings. They will be without key players like their first-choice goalkeeper Lucas Perri, while Daniel James and Wilfried Gnonto are major doubts.
Head-to-Head:
The historical head-to-head record between these two clubs is in favor of Leeds United, who have won 45 of their 104 competitive meetings. Leeds has also had the upper hand in recent encounters, winning three of their last four meetings against Wolves, including a thrilling 4-2 victory at Molineux in 2023.
Player to Watch:
Wolverhampton Wanderers: All eyes will be on their key attacking players, particularly Hwang Hee-chan and Rodrigo Gomes, both of whom have scored once this season. The potential return of striker Jorgen Strand Larsen could be a huge boost to their attack.
Leeds United: The focus for Leeds will be on their attacking players, particularly Lukas Nmecha, who has scored their only goal this season. The return of Joel Piroe from injury could provide a much-needed attacking spark.
Prediction:
Given both teams’ struggles in attack and their desperate need for a win, this match promises to be a tight and highly competitive affair. While Wolves have the home advantage, their poor defensive record and injury woes could be exploited by Leeds. A low-scoring draw or a narrow away victory for Leeds United seems like a very plausible outcome.
