Leicester vs Wolves Prediction & Betting tips
A match at eye level promises the encounter between Leicester and Wolverhampton. The foxes go into the new season with high ambitions and, after two ninth ranks in the past two seasons, are keen to move further ahead to play their part in European business once again.
Although a few days ago with Harry Maguire an important defender was handed over to Manchester United, but otherwise the team remained in large parts together, which is why little start-up difficulties are to be expected.
However, this also applies to the guests who have already checked off the goal of playing on the European stage last season. At that time, the Wolves reached in their promotion season immediately the participation in the qualification for the Europa League. However, the success was only possible through the double of Manchester City, whereby the seventh place in the final statement was sufficient.
Wolverhampton had to play in the context of the mentioned qualification in the last two weeks for competitive games. The most recent match took place in Yerevan, more than 4,000 kilometers away in Armenia, this week, so the hosts will be much more relaxed in the game.
The Leicester vs. Wolverhampton’s tip therefore includes a home win, but is backed by a draw-no-bet against a draw. The Leicester will face Wolverhampton’s prediction with a five-unit bet.
Leicester:
Leicester still has a considerable gap on the financial resources of the famous top six clubs in the Premier League, but in the circle of the “Best of the rest” City now occupies a front position.
The squad was largely held together in the summer – with one exception: there is talk of Harry Maguire, who joined Manchester United this week. The 26-year-old is unquestionably a serious loss in terms of play, while at the same time the sale sold around 87 million euros to the foxes’ box office.
Never has more money been redeemed for a defender! Although a smaller part of the transfer fee goes to the Tigers of Hull City, of which Leicester had brought in 2017 Maguire, but you can still look forward to a stately Transferplus of over 70 million euros. Among others, Shinji Okazaki was given away. The Japanese kicks now at Malaga in La Liga 2.
The tears over his departure, however, should be limited in his case. The 33-year-old has long been beyond the zenith of his creative power and no longer reaches his Golden Age at Mainz in the Bundesliga, as he delivered two-figure goal scores. In the past season, Okazaki remained goalless at Leicester and prepared only one goal.
The 2016 champion was not only able to keep his team together with the exception of Maguire, but also added powerful reinforcements. This assessment applies in particular to Ayoze Perez, who was unleashed by league rivals Newcastle United.
The Spaniard will go in the top next to top goalgetter Jamie Vardy on goal hunting. With 12 goals, Perez was the best scorer in the Magpies last season. The king transfer also took place with the commitment of Youri Tielemans.
The Belgian international kicked in the second half of the preseason on loan from the AS Monaco at the Foxes and immediately joined the team well. The results in the preliminary matches have already shown that Leicester is a very strong team.
Most recently, they beat Atalanta Bergamo 2-1, who will play in the Champions League. On top of that, for example, with Stoke City was beaten a promotion candidate from the Championship. In addition, none of the other four test matches against under-class representatives of British football was lost.
Coach Brendan Rodgers, who took office at the end of February this year, also plagued before the upcoming match at King Power Stadium hardly injury concerns. Given the stable performance in the preparation is therefore understandable why the Leicester against Wolverhampton odds at least slightly fail in favor of the home side.
Wolverhampton:
The Wolves already have a tough away game this week at Pjunik Yerevan in the legs. The first leg in the third round of qualifying for the Europa League was won 4-0, but the travel hardships were in view of the distance not insignificant.
For the Wanderers qualifying matches a return to European football after 39 years of abstinence dar. In the previous round, the team of coach Nuno Espirito Santo also gave no nakedness and scored two unbeaten victories against the Northern Irishman of Crusaders FC.
However, the opponents in the qualification are not a measure of the task that the Wolves now expected in the Premier League again. After the promotion season, it is important to master the infamous second year with success. For this Wolverhampton is mainly on the eleven from the preseason.
Read on that the available funds in the summer were mainly put into the obligations of hitherto only borrowed players. An example is the striker Raúl Jiménez from Mexico. The 28-year-old scored 13 goals in the last season, the best in Wolverhampton and in the summer, the striker won with his home country the Gold Cup.
In the latter triumph for El Tri Jiménez was significantly involved with five goals. In the recent two EL qualifying matches he also marked again a double each. In addition, the Belgian Leander Dendoncker was firmly committed. The game intelligent Six was previously loaned by Anderlecht.
Among the Belgian record champions he had played together with Youri Tielemans from the next opponent. Before the games in qualifying for the Europa League, the Wolves took part in the summer at the Barclays Asia Trophy in China. Here, Newcastle United was clearly defeated 4-0 and the champions Manchester City on penalties.
