Leeds United vs Wolves

Fresh from an impressive win at Old Trafford, Leeds United are back at Elland Road as they host Wolves in an English Premier League fixture on Sunday.

The hosts have been in good form lately and are slowly easing away from the danger zone. They will be confident of getting the better of the visitors, who are looking increasingly likely to get relegated.

Leeds United News

Leeds United are coming off their first Old Trafford win in 45 years after claiming a 2-1 victory over Manchester United last time out. Noah Okafor netted a first-half brace, and they were able to hold on despite the hosts pulling one back after the break.

That result means Leeds United are now unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions and sit six points clear of the relegation zone. Daniel Farke's team have also done some good work at home and are unbeaten in seven of their last 10 matches across all competitions at Elland Road.

One area that needs improvement for Leeds United is their defence, having failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they have scored in six of those fixtures, while three of the last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

Wolves News

Wolves travel to Elland Road off the back of a 4-0 defeat at West Ham in their previous Premier League fixture. That result means Rob Edwards' team are now winless in their last three matches, suffering two defeats in this run.

Time is quickly running out for Wolves, whose relegation could be confirmed this weekend as they sit 15 points from safety. They will be desperate to stay alive for one more week, but their away form does not inspire much confidence, having failed to win nine of their last 10 matches on the road.

Poor defending remains a problem for Wolves, who are without a clean sheet in seven of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare could earn a runout in an attack that has scored in seven of those 10 matches, while the last four fixtures in this run have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Wolves have 13 wins while Leeds United have picked up 11 victories with four draws in the last 27 matches. The hosts earned a 3-1 away victory in the reverse fixture back in September.

Verdict

Leeds v Wolverhampton

Leeds United will be fired up for Saturday’s clash as a win will be a massive boost towards securing their Premier League status for next season. Having gone unbeaten in their last five matches, they should get the better of Wolves, who appear to be getting ready for life in the Championship.

Neither defence has been convincing lately, and with both teams scoring in five of their last six meetings, a repeat could be on the cards. With four of the last five matches also producing over 2.5 goals, a similar outcome could be considered.
