Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leeds United Prediction
Wolverhampton Wanderers are currently 13th in the league and have won only one of their last five league games. They are three points ahead of 18th-placed Bournemouth, who have played a game less.
Wolves are still in a relegation battle, and the concern, as it has been with Wolves for a long time, is the lack of attacking firepower. Sasa Kalajdzic is out with a long-term injury, while Raul Jimenez and Diego Costa are spent forces. The likes of Matheus Cunha, Pablo Sarabia, Hwang Hee-chan and Daniel Podence, while useful options, are not consistent goalscorers.
Leeds United, on the other hand, are 19th in the league, one point behind 17th-placed West Ham United.
Leeds United have been in decline for some time now, with Jesse Marsch failing to impress during his nearly one-year stay at the club. Javi Gracia, formerly of Watford and Valencia, has been tasked with ensuring Leeds United's safety.
Wolverhampton Wanderers to secure the victory.
Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 Leeds United
