Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Leicester City

The match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City is generating significant interest due to the contrasting forms of both teams. Wolverhampton, currently enjoying a five-game winning streak, aims for a historic sixth consecutive Premier League victory, a feat not accomplished since 1970 . In stark contrast, Leicester City finds itself at the bottom of the form table with only one point from their last five matches and is already relegated. This disparity in performance sets the stage for an intriguing encounter.

Vitor Pereira's resurgent Wolves lead the form table having won their last five games, their longest such run in the top-flight since 1970. Pablo Sarabia's free kick extended the streak at Manchester United last weekend and officially secured the Old Gold's place in the Premier League next season.

The 1-0 triumph at Old Trafford saw Wolves move level on points with Manchester United and leapfrog Tottenham Hotspur in the standings. They could finish the weekend as high as 13th depending on results elsewhere and their own at Molineux.

    In contrast, Leicester City supporters didn't enjoy Easter Sunday as much. Their team's 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Liverpool confirmed the Foxes' relegation, having lost 16 of their last 18 Premier League fixtures.

    Ruud van Nistelrooy's team have also now failed to score in nine successive home matches, a new, unwanted, English football league record, their most-recent goal at the King Power scored on 8 December, 139 days ago. Thus, most inside Molineux on Saturday, whether bedecked in old gold or blue, will probably be expecting to witness a home win.

    Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup: Sa; Agbadou, Toti, Bueno; Semedo, Andre, Gomes, Ait-Nouri; Munetsi, Cunha; Larsen

    Leicester City possible starting lineup: Hermansen; Pereira, Coady, Faes, Thomas; Ndidi, Soumare; McAteer, El Khannouss, Ayew; Daka

    Wolves, brimming with confidence and momentum, are heavily favoured to secure a home win against Leicester City. The Foxes' defensive vulnerabilities will likely be exposed by Wolves' clinical attack, leading to a comfortable victory. The Hard Tackle predicts a 3-1 win for Vitor Pereira's side.

    While predictions lean heavily towards a Wolves victory based on their current momentum and Leicester's disappointing season , fans remain divided in their expectations. Some anticipate an easy win for Wolves given their form; others suggest that Leicester may capitalize on any complacency .
