Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is eager for his team to bounce back from their heartbreaking loss to Fulham, where a defensive mistake led to a late own goal. With four points from four games, Leeds is looking to secure a significant win, especially against struggling Wolves, who have yet to earn a single point this season.
Key Returnees
- Joel Piroe: The striker is set to return to the squad after missing the game against Fulham. Piroe, along with Ao Tanaka, has been fully involved in training and is expected to be in contention to start against Wolves.
- Jorge Strand Larsen: Wolves’ star striker is reportedly close to returning from an Achilles injury and might be available for Saturday’s match. His potential involvement could significantly boost Wolves’ offense.
Team Form
- Leeds United: Despite their recent loss, Leeds has shown resilience, with four points from four games. However, they’ve struggled to find the back of the net, failing to score since their match against Everton.
- Wolves: The team has had a tough start to the season, losing all four league games and conceding nine goals. Wolves have generally performed better at home, but their recent form has been concerning ¹.
Head-to-Head Record
- Leeds and Wolves have a closely contested head-to-head record, with Leeds slightly edging out Wolves in 104 meetings (45 wins to 36).
- Wolves have won eight of their last 10 matches against promoted sides, which could give them an edge in this matchup ².
Match Prediction
- Given the current form and head-to-head record, the match is expected to be closely contested. However, some predictions favor Wolves due to their historical success against promoted teams and Leeds’ struggles in front of goal ³.
