Preview: Wolves expected to continue strong form against Leicester

Wolves are on fire in the Premier League with their sixth consecutive victory in sight as they prepare to face relegated Leicester this weekend, who have been struggling recently.

Following Wolves' 3-0 win over Leicester at the King Power Stadium in December, the two teams have been on different trajectories.

Leicester recently confirmed their relegation with a 1-0 defeat against Liverpool, and the news of Jamie Vardy's departure at the end of the season added to their woes.

Team news

Wolves will check on the fitness of goalkeeper Jose Sa, with Hee Chan Hwang, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, and Pedro Lima uncertain for the game.

Wolves will be without Sasa Kalajdzic, Leon Chiwone, Yerson Mosquera, Enso Gonzalez, and Sam Johnstone due to injuries.

Leicester's only injury concern is winger Abdul Fatawu, while midfielder Harry Winks is not in contention.

The stats

Ruud van Nistelrooy couldn't help Leicester avoid getting relegated.

Wolves have won their last five Premier League matches.

Three out of Wolves' last six wins have been by a 1-0 scoreline.

Wolves have scored in each of their last 10 games.

Leicester have lost nine of their last 10 matches without scoring a goal.

Leicester have struggled in the first half, scoring only eight goals in 33 games this season.

Leicester have conceded the first goal in their last 15 matches.

Prediction

Wolves have been in great form, winning seven of their last 10 Premier League matches, and are expected to continue their dominance against Leicester at Molineux.

With three of Wolves' five home wins by a 2-0 scoreline this season, a similar result could be on the cards.

Leicester put up a fight in their last match against Liverpool, but their lack of attacking threat is likely to be exploited by Wolves, who have been strong against lower-ranked teams.

Considering Leicester's poor form and Wolves' impressive record against teams below them in the table, a comfortable victory for Wolves seems probable.
