Leeds vs Wolves Prediction & Tips
Leeds and Wolverhampton face each other at Elland Road, in a Premier League 1st round match. The history of direct confrontations played in this stadium favours the visiting team, that in the last 3 matches won 2 and drew 1. However, in the last confrontation in this stadium, in a Premier League match on 23-10-2021, it didn’t go beyond a draw by (1-1). The goals in the match were scored by Rodrigo (90′ ) for Leeds and by Hwang Hee-Chan (10′ ) for Wolverhampton.
This is the first match in this edition of the competition for the home team, who finished the previous edition in 17th position. In the last game they played, for the club friendly, they beat Cagliari at home by (6-2). In the last 10 home games Leeds records 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 games, but their attack has been scoring with regularity, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 games.
The team led by Jesse Marsch enters this round very motivated after a 6-2 win in a friendly against Cagliari: Rodrigo, Bamford and Koch scored the goals in this nice triumph. Contrary to the “enemy” of this round, the home team opts to play in a traditional 4-3-3, where the three most advanced players are Daniel James, Jack Harrison and Joe Gelhardt. Playing indoors it is guessed that Leeds will take on an attacking role, aiming to try and get the first goal of the game. Manager Jesse Marsch will be without Patrick Bamford, Mateusz Bogusz and Stuart Dallas as they are all out with the medical department at this stage.
This will be the first game in this edition of the competition for the visiting team, who finished the previous edition in 10th position. The team arrives in this match after a draw away with Farense by (1-1). In their last 10 away games in all competitions Wolverhampton have won 1, drawn 3 and lost 6. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point as they have conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 games, but their attack has scored regularly as they have scored at least one goal in each of their last 10 games. In their away games there is a tendency for few goals as 21 of their last 49 games have ended with Less than 1.5 goals and 32 out of 49 have ended with Less than 2.5 goals. In their last 20 away games for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 8 of their 19 goals between the minutes (76′-90′).
Wolverhampton come into this match after a draw, 1-1, in a friendly against Farense. Contrary to the “enemy” of this round, Wolverhampton usually plays in a 5-3-2, where the two most advanced players are Pedro Neto and Hee-chan Hwang. When the visiting club invests in the attacking department, it usually does so through the right wing, taking advantage of the depth offered by Portuguese right-back Nélson Semedo. Coach Bruno Lage will not be able to count on Raúl Jiménez, Chiquinho and José Sá because they are, at this stage, in the medical department.
