ANALYSIS AND PREDICTION FOR WOLVES - LEICESTER
Wolverhampton is a team that practices a very interesting style of play. The Wolves can counteract the top teams in terms of play, and this has been proven many times throughout the season, even against Liverpool in both games and against Man City. The problem with Wolves is their perseverance and their physical shape, because sometimes they are unfit in those terms. The claim that Wolves also outplayed Leicester in the first game that ended 0-0 at King Power would not be overstated.
Statistics show that Leicester took more points than they should have taken. Of course, these are the stats for expected points(xPTS), which are based on the ‘Expected Goals'(xG) for and against in the matches. Foxes are definitely not in their best shape lately, however. They made mistakes in defense and started scoring goals from set pieces, which Brendon Rodgers didn’t like.
Expert view : Wolves usually let their opponent play in the 1st half, and then Wolves themselves are not strong during this period. However, if when the 2nd half comes, this team would become a completely different one. Leicester is an offensive team that uses mostly empty spaces and fast counter attacks when possible, but does it well. However, in this case we will trust the wolves, which are not too far from Leicester’s level, but also host. Because of what they do in the 2nd halves, we bet on Wolves to score in 2nd half at 1.80.
Wolves have scored in both halves in 11 of their 12 home matches in the league
