Relegation-battling Leeds United head to Molineux Stadium to take on potential relegation candidates Wolverhampton Wanderers in a high-stakes Premier League fixture.
Wolverhampton Wanderers’ disappointing Premier League campaign continued last weekend with a 2-1 defeat at Newcastle United as they start this round only three points clear of the relegation zone. Manager Julen Lopetegui will undoubtedly be relieved to return to Molineux, given that Wolves have won three of their last four home league matches ‘to nil’ (L1). However, the ‘Wanderers’ have gone winless in ten consecutive top-flight home games in which they’ve failed to keep a clean sheet (D2, L8). And while Lopetegui boasts a 100% win ratio in two managerial encounters against his Leeds counterpart Javi Garcia, his men have lost their last two meetings with the ‘Whites’ in the Premier League after going unbeaten in six straight league H2Hs beforehand (W5, D1).
Meanwhile, Leeds United and Brighton shared the spoils in a topsy-turvy 2-2 draw last weekend, leaving the ‘Whites’ one point adrift of Premier League safety. Commencing this round in the drop one may not necessarily be a bad omen for Leeds, considering they’ve won each of their last three league games when starting the matchday in the bottom three. The visitors have acquired four points from three league matches under newly-appointed Garcia (W1, D1, L1), as many as in the previous ten under sacked manager Jesse Marsch (D4, L6). However, the new boss must find a recipe to galvanize Leeds’ form on the road, with no side picking up fewer away wins (1) and away points (6) in the Premier League this term than the ‘Whites.’ Indeed, they’re winless on their last seven league travels (D2, L5).
