Explore our detailed preview for Wolves vs Leicester in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 15:00 BST match.

Fixture: Wolves vs Leicester
Date: Saturday 26 April 2025
Kick-off: 15:00 BST
Venue: Molineux

Wolves, riding high on confidence and form, will look to continue their winning streak and finish the season strongly. Leicester will want to finish the season well despite suffering relegation. However, their recent performances suggest a lack of confidence and firepower.

Expect Wolves to dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities. Leicester will likely sit deep and look to counter-attack, but their inability to score consistently could be their downfall. Wolves should secure a comfortable victory to add to the Foxes' misery.

Match Prediction: Wolves 2-0 Leicester

Wolves have been in exceptional form, securing five consecutive victories in the Premier League.

This run of form has seen Wolves climb to a comfortable position in the league, with their latest win against Manchester United mathematically securing their Premier League status for another season. Key to their success has been their ability to score crucial goals and maintain a solid defensive structure.

Last 5 league matches:

• Win: 1-0 vs Man United (A)
• Win: 4-2 vs Tottenham (H)
• Win: 2-1 vs Ipswich (A)
• Win: 1-0 vs West Ham (H)
• Win: 2-1 vs Southampton (A)
  

Leicester's season has been a stark contrast, with the team struggling to find form and now facing relegation.

Leicester's inability to score in their last nine home games has been a significant factor in their relegation battle. The team's morale appears low, and they have already been relegated to the Championship for next season.

Last 5 league matches:

• Loss: 0-1 vs Liverpool (H)
• Draw: 2-2 vs Brighton (A)
• Loss: 0-3 vs Newcastle (H)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Man City (A)
• Loss: 0-3 vs Man United (H)
  

The recent head-to-head record between Wolves and Leicester shows a competitive rivalry. Historically, both teams have had their moments of dominance, but Wolves have had the upper hand in recent encounters, particularly in their last meeting, where they secured a convincing victory.

• Wolves 3-0 Leicester (22 December 2024)
• Leicester 2-1 Wolves (22 April 2023)
• Wolves 0-4 Leicester (23 October 2022)
• Wolves 2-1 Leicester (20 February 2022)
• Leicester 1-0 Wolves (14 August 2021)
  

• Enso Gonzalez (Knee) - Out
• Sasa Kalajdzic (Knee) - Out
• Yerson Mosquera (Knee) - Out
• Leon Chiwome (Knee) - Out
• Pedro Lima (Ankle) - Out
• Jean-Ricner Bellegarde (Knock) - Doubtful
• Hwang Hee-Chan (Muscle) - Doubtful
• Sam Johnstone (Knock) - Doubtful
• Jose Sa (Knock) - Doubtful

Wolves face a significant challenge with multiple players sidelined. The potential absence of key players, such as Jose Sa and Hwang Hee-Chan, could impact their performance, but their recent form suggests they have the depth to cope.

• Abdul Fatawu (Knee) - Out
• Harry Souttar (Ankle) - Out
• Odsonne Edouard (Knock) - Doubtful

Leicester's injury list is relatively short, but the absence of Abdul Fatawu could be felt in their attacking options, especially given their struggles to score goals.

Bentley; Bueno, Agbadou, Toti; Semedo, Joao Gomes, André, Aït-Nouri; Cunha, Sarabia; Larsen

Given their injury concerns, Wolves are likely to stick with a similar formation that has brought them success. The inclusion of Pablo Sarabia in midfield could provide the creativity needed to break down Leicester's defence.

Hermansen; Thomas, Coady, Faes, Pereira; Ndidi, Soumaré; El Khannouss, Mavididi, Cordova-Reid; Vardy

Leicester will likely continue with their 4-2-3-1 formation. The pressure is on Jamie Vardy to deliver in what is now a game for pride, and not much else.

• João Gomes vs Wilfred Ndidi: The midfield battle will be crucial, with Gomes' tenacity and tackling ability up against Ndidi's experience and defensive prowess.
• Jorgen Strand Larsen vs Conor Coady: Larsen's goal-scoring form will be tested against Coady's defensive organisation and leadership at the back.
• Matheus Cunha: The forward is highly influential. His ability to find space and finish could be decisive in this encounter.
  

Wolves have won five consecutive top flight games for the first time since January 1972, showcasing their remarkable resurgence under Vitor Pereira.
