• Date: Saturday, 26 April 2025
• Venue: Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton

Match Preview

Wolves welcome Leicester City to Molineux in a Premier League clash that pits one of the division’s in-form sides against a team already condemned to relegation. Wolves, under Vitor Pereira, have been on a remarkable run, winning their last six matches and climbing to 15th in the table with 38 points. Their recent form has seen them outscore opponents 10-4, and they look to be finishing the season strongly after a turbulent start. In contrast, Leicester’s campaign has unraveled, and they arrive at Molineux with just one win in their last 18 league games, already condemned to Championship football with 18 points from 33 matches.

The last time these sides met, Wolves ran out convincing 3-0 winners at the King Power Stadium in December, with goals from Gonçalo Guedes, Rodrigo Gomes, and Matheus Cunha. That result marked the start of Wolves’ resurgence under Pereira and exposed Leicester’s defensive frailties. Leicester’s fortunes have only worsened since, with the Foxes managing just two goals since February and suffering a string of defeats that sealed their fate for the drop.

Injury concerns are mounting for both teams. Wolves could be without goalkeeper José Sá (back), while Sam Johnstone, Yerson Mosquera, and Enso Medina are all ruled out. Hee-chan Hwang and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde are doubtful, but the likes of Matheus Cunha and Jørgen Strand Larsen are expected to lead the line. Leicester, meanwhile, are missing Harry Winks due to disciplinary reasons and Abdul Fatawu for the season, further depleting a squad already low on confidence.

Wolves’ strengths lie in their ability to steal possession and create chances through incisive through balls, while Leicester’s vulnerabilities—particularly in defense—have been ruthlessly exposed throughout the campaign. Expect Wolves to press high and exploit Leicester’s mistakes, especially with the Foxes struggling to find the net and keep goals out at the other end. Leicester’s best hope may rest on the experience of Jamie Vardy and flashes from young midfielder Bilal El Khannouss, but recent evidence suggests Wolves have the upper hand in both quality and momentum.

Key Players

• Wolves:
  • Matheus Cunha: 14 goals in 28 matches, Wolves’ main attacking threat.
  • Jørgen Strand Larsen: 12 goals in 31 matches, complements Cunha up front.
  • Rayan Aït-Nouri: 4 goals, 6 assists from left-back, a creative force.
• Leicester City:
  • Jamie Vardy: 7 goals, 3 assists in 31 matches, still the Foxes’ most dangerous forward.
  • Stephy Mavididi: 4 goals from the wing, offers pace and directness.
  • Bilal El Khannouss: 2 assists, creative spark in midfield.

Prediction

Wolves are clear favorites, given their impressive form and Leicester’s ongoing struggles. With the Foxes already relegated and low on morale, Wolves should dominate possession and create plenty of chances. Leicester’s defense has been porous, and their attack toothless in recent months. Expect Wolves to continue their winning streak, with a likely scoreline of 2-0 or 3-1 in favor of the hosts710. However, with both sides prone to defensive lapses, goals are expected.
