The Matchday 34 clash in the Premier League between Wolverhampton and Leicester will take place on April 26 at Molineux Stadium. Wolverhampton vs. Leicester: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Wolverhampton
Vitor Pereira's side has already secured their place in the Premier League for next season. The team has climbed to 15th place, 17 points clear of the relegation zone, thanks to a series of five consecutive wins in the league. It's worth noting that their recent success has been aided by a favorable schedule, with matches against lower-ranked teams. In their last two outings, Wolverhampton defeated Tottenham at home (4-2) and managed a narrow victory against Manchester United away (1-0).
- The club is unbeaten in six consecutive Premier League matches (5 wins and 1 draw).
- No more than three goals have been scored in 10 of Wolverhampton's last 11 Premier League games.
- The team has not conceded in the first half of their last six home league matches (3 wins and 3 draws).
Predicted lineup for Wolverhampton (5-3-2)
Daniel Bentley – Santiago Bueno, Tote Gomes, Emmanuel Agbadou, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Nelson Semedo – Andre, Marshall Munetsi, Joao Gomes – Matheus Cunha, Jorgen Strand Larsen.
Leicester
The team has shown some improvement in their last two league matches. They managed a draw away to Brighton (2-2) and narrowly lost at home to Liverpool (0-1). However, Leicester's winless streak in the league has now extended to 10 matches (1 draw and 9 losses). Under Ruud van Nistelrooy, they have already been relegated to the Championship. Notably, they have conceded 73 goals, the second-worst defensive record in the league.
- The club has failed to score in 9 of their last 10 Premier League matches.
- No more than three goals have been scored in 6 of Leicester's last 7 league games.
- Leicester has conceded in all 16 away matches in the current Premier League season.
Predicted lineup for Leicester (4-4-2)

Wolverhampton vs. Leicester: Match Prediction
Leicester has struggled in their return to the Premier League, failing to last more than one season in England's top division. Ruud van Nistelrooy is likely to be dismissed at the end of May, as under his leadership, Leicester has managed only two league wins, with two draws and 16 losses. Away from home this season, Leicester has collected just 9 points from 16 matches, conceding 39 goals, the worst defensive record among all Premier League clubs.
Wolverhampton was in danger of relegation to the Championship in early March, but a series of six successful matches has lifted them to 15th place. They could potentially climb to 13th if they defeat Leicester in this round. It seems likely they will continue their winning streak, as the visitors have one of the weakest defenses in the Premier League, having conceded two or more goals in 9 of their last 11 away league matches.
My prediction: Wolverhampton individual total over 1.5 goals
