Wolves vs Leicester predictions: In-form hosts should shut out Foxes
&w=707&quality=100)
- Wolves stretched their winning streak to five matches with a 1-0 win at Man Utd last weekend
- Leicester's relegation has been sealed by a run of 16 defeats in 18 games
- Recommended bet: Wolves to win 2-0
No team in the Premier League is in hotter form than Wolves and their supporters will be anticipating a sixth straight victory when they host relegated Leicester this weekend.
Wolves were five points below the Foxes before their 3-0 win at the King Power Stadium just before Christmas but the clubs have been heading in different directions ever since.
Leicester's return to the Championship was confirmed by a 1-0 home defeat to Liverpool last time out and this week it was announced that club legend Jamie Vardy is leaving at the end of the season.
Team news
Wolves will assess the fitness of goalkeeper Jose Sa while Hee Chan Hwang, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Pedro Lima are also doubts.
Wanderers remain without the injured Sasa Kalajdzic, Leon Chiwone, Yerson Mosquera, Enso Gonzalez and Sam Johnstone.
Leicester's only injury absentee is winger Abdul Fatawu but midfielder Harry Winks is out of favour.
The stats
&w=707&quality=100)
Wolves have won their last five Premier League matches.
Three of Wanderers' last six wins were by a 1-0 scoreline.
Wolves have scored at least once in each of their last 10 games.
Leicester have lost nine of their last 10 matches to nil.
The Foxes have scored only eight first-half goals in 33 games this season.
Leicester have conceded the first goal in each of their last 15 matches.
Prediction
Wolves are finishing the season strongly, winning seven of their last 10 Premier League matches and they are worthy favourites to beat relegated Leicester at Molineux.
Three of Wanderers' five home wins this season have been by a 2-0 scoreline, against Aston Villa, Manchester United and Southampton and that correct-score bet appeals again.
A late Pablo Sarabia free-kick helped Wolves complete a league double over United last weekend and the Red Devils had only two shots on target at Old Trafford.
Vitor Pereira's men also restricted Ipswich to two efforts on target in Wolves's 2-1 win at Portman Road this month while West Ham tested goalkeeper Jose Sa only once in their 1-0 defeat at Molineux.
Leicester showed some grit in their defeat to Liverpool last time out, standing firm until Trent Alexander-Arnold's 76th-minute winner for the table-topping Reds.
That was their 11th defeat to nil in 13 games, however, and their lack of attacking quality means Wolves should be backed to claim a comfortable victory.
They have been impressive against teams below them in the table, winning six of their nine games against the bottom five, and Leicester's players are bound to be feeling deflated after suffering 16 defeats in their last 18 matches.
