  • Wolves have scored five goals in their last two home matches

  • Leeds have found the net just once in four Premier League games

  • Recommended bet: Wolves to win

Two of the bottom five in the Premier League meet at Molineux on Saturday afternoon as Wolves and Leeds United go head-to-head.

Wanderers go into the clash bottom of the table with no points to show from their first four matches, but a victory would move them to within a point of their opponents.

Leeds have struggled in front of goal and all four of their points have come from matches at Elland Road, a 1-0 victory over Everton and a goalless draw with Newcastle.

Team news

Wolves have been without main striker Jorgen Strand Larsen for the last two matches, against Everton and Newcastle, due to an Achilles injury.

The news coming out of Molineux is that the Norwegian is making good progress and has a chance of featuring on Saturday.

Leeds boss Daniel Farke has suggested that he will be without three first-team squad members for the trip to the West Midlands.

Goalkeeper Lucas Perri is definitely out, so Karl Darlow will continue between the posts, while both Daniel James and Willy Gnonto are doubtful due to injuries.

The stats

Leeds have won on their last two league visits to Molineux, including a 4-2 success in the last meeting in March 2023.

There have been two or more goals scored in each of Wolves' last six Premier League home matches.

Leeds' only Premier League goal this season came from the penalty spot, Lukas Nmecha scoring the winner against Everton.

Three of the last 11 home league goals for Wolves have been scored by Strand Larsen.

Prediction

Neither team has played anywhere near their best in the opening four matches, but it is the hosts who have looked more of a threat going forward.

Wolves found the net twice in their most recent Molineux clash, when eventually losing 3-2 at home to Everton.

Vitor Pereira, who signed a new contract at Wolves this week, also saw his men score three goals in last month's 3-2 EFL Cup win over West Ham.

They did manage three shots on target at Newcastle last weekend, but without the threat of Strand Larsen they looked short going forward.

Leeds held their own for much of last week's game at Fulham, only to concede an own goal in stoppage time.

With the likely absence of forwards Gnonto and James and with Dominic Calvert-Lewin not yet match sharp, it is hard to see where the Whites' goals will come from.
