Wolves v Leeds Betting Tips [18 March 2023]

With teams stacked closer and tighter in the bottom-half of the Premier League table, this match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leeds United promises to be a close contest. This match will be played at the Molineux Stadium on Saturday. Wolves are 13th in the Premier League standings ahead of this round with 27 points from 27 matches while Leeds are 19th with 23 points from 26 matches. The hosts lost 2-1 at Newcastle in their last league match, a game that the coach Julen Lopetegui felt they didn’t get the right decisions from the referee. That doesn’t change the fact that they are still in a dicey situation regarding survival. Teams from 12th to 20th are separated by just five points, so Wolves know that even a single loss could be detrimental especially against a relegation contender. They would be happy to be back at the Molineux having won three of their last four league matches here, including a 1-0 win over Tottenham in the recent of those games.

Leeds had a battling point from a 2-2 draw against Brighton last time out, but that continued their quest for a win to ease relegation worries. The visitors have now won only a single game from their last 13 matches, losing seven and drawing five. They have already conceded 42 goals in the season which is the fifth-worst defensive record and need to plug those leaks to improve their survival chances. Not just that, Leeds have been pretty poor on their travels which has undermined their season. The visitors are winless across their last seven Premier League trips, losing four of the last five. To go with that, they have lost three of the last four matches they played against Wolves at this venue which makes their task of taking full points here doubly difficult.
