Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Predictions

• Leicester have conceded in 12 consecutive games across all competitions.
• Wolves’ last away clean sheet came way back in August.
• Both teams have scored in five of Leicester’s last six games.

Leicester in dire need

Leicester host Wolves on Saturday knowing they need to find a way to stop the rot if they are to pull clear of the bottom three.

The 2015-16 Premier League champions are two points adrift of safety with the games running out, while Wolves have pulled clear of danger themselves after back-to-back wins.

Both teams have issues at the back

Leicester have lost nine of their last 10 games, drawing the other, and they have gone 12 games without a clean sheet. That shut-out came in a cup tie with League Two outfit Walsall, and the last time they managed to stop a Premier League opponent from scoring came way back in November – before the World Cup break.

Wolves have managed clean sheets in their last two games but both of those fixtures were at Molineux and they have been easier to break down on their travels. Wolves haven’t managed an away clean sheet since August – a run stretching 14 games – and with both teams looking vulnerable at the back both teams to score looks a good starting point for our main bet.

Leicester’s issues have largely been at the back as they have scored in five of their last six games, while Wolves have scored in six consecutive games.

Foxes can halt losing streak

Leicester are the team in greater need and they may be able to end their four game losing run on Saturday against poor travellers Wolves.

Julen Lopetegui’s side are winless in four on their travels and have just one away win in their last nine across all competitions going back further.

A 1-1 draw is the correct score prediction as Wolves have scored exactly once in three of their last four away – including two 1-1 stalemates – and Leicester have scored exactly once in three of their last four at the King Power Stadium.
