My Prediction
Leicester City by 1This certainly promises to be an intriguing matchup between Leicester City and Wolverhampton. Now let's dive into some specifics.
For the goalkeepers, Wolverhampton will likely put their hopes on Sam Johnstone with his 6.60 rating and 4 saves, backed up by Jose Sa. Their presence between the sticks could be a bit concerning considering their save rates are not quite outstanding. On the other side, Leicester's goalkeeper, Mads Hermansen, paints a more impressive picture with a 6.98 rating and 22 saves under his belt. Maybe those gloves are just a tad stickier.
When it comes to the foot soldiers, Wolverhampton has some notable players like Matheus Cunha, who has been firing shots with reckless abandon, and not to forget Rayan Aït Nouri and Matt Doherty. Yet, my eyebrows raised just a little while taking a gander at Leicester's billeted aces. Bilal El Khannouss and Jamie Vardy have been sharpening their boots, scoring some decent goals and demonstrating reasonable pass accuracy.
Talking about past clashes, our last soiree resulted in a 2-1 victory in favor of Leicester City. While past performance is no guarantee of future returns, this does offer some tea leaves for the ardent fortune tellers among us.
Panning through the regular season records, wolves portraying Wolverhampton could use some domesticated behavior with 2 wins, 3 draws, and 11 losses. In comparison, Leicester isn't exactly having a party either with 3 wins, 5 draws, and 8 losses. It seems both teams prefer to give the game away rather than taking it.
Peeping into the recent results does little to uplift Wolverhampton's spirits, with a series of lost matches, save for a solitary victory against Fulham. Leicester, on the other hand, served up a mixed performance bag, tasting victory, defeat, and a capricious draw in fairly equal measure.
Keeping all these factors in mind, it seems the smart money would lean towards a relatively underwhelming performance from both sides, making picking a winner as easy as explaining the offside rule to a non-football fan. Nevertheless, my prediction lies in the direction where the better goalkeeper and top player stats preside.
