Leicester vs Wolves Prediction & Betting Tips (22 December)

After a short season spent at the lower level, Leicester are back in the elite this season. The promoted team is struggling to get up to speed and is now 17th in the Premier League, 2 points ahead of the red zone. On the tough side, the Foxes have won only one of their last 8 championship matches, for 2 draws and 5 defeats. After getting the better of West Ham 3-1, they held Brighton to a draw at home 2-2. Unfortunately, Leicester fell back heavily on Newcastle's pitch last weekend 4-0. Not used to fighting not to go down in previous exercises, Wolverhampton are greatly disappointing this season.

Indeed, Matheus Cunha's partners are currently only 19th in the Premier League and are 5 points behind their opponent of the day. After having played 4 games without a setback, 2 wins and 2 draws between the end of October and the end of November, they fell back into their bad habits during the last 4 days. Wolverhampton lost to Bournemouth 2-4, Everton 4-0, West Ham 2-1 and Ipswich last weekend 1-2. Following this setback against a direct competitor, coach Gary O'Neil was dismissed.

Leicester's squad is reduced by injuries to important midfielders Ndidi and Winks, potentially starting winger Fatawu, number 2 goalkeeper Stolarczyk and now-replacement full-back Ricardo Pereira. On the other hand, the midfielder passed by Lille Soumaré is back from suspension. On the bench during the last day, Argentine attacking midfielder Buonanotte (4 goals and 2 assists in PL) could return to the starting 11. On the attacking front, takes place the veteran but still influential Vardy (37 years old, 6 goals and 3 assists in PL). On the side of Wolverhampton, it is necessary to mention the packages of the n°1 goalkeeper Jose Sa, the starting defender Mosquera, the interesting winger Sarabia and the long-term absentees Boubacar Traoré, Kalajdzic and Gonzalez.

In addition, the important left side Aït-Nouri is suspended. On the other hand, midfielder Joao Gomes has finished serving his suspension. Scorer against Ipswich, Brazilian striker Matheus Cunha (8 goals and 3 assists in PL) displays great efficiency as does Dane Strand Larsen (6 goals and 2 assists in PL). Crumb at the back, Wolverhampton has the worst defense in the championship.
