Leeds United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Elland Road club spent two years returning to the Premier League—and clearly does not want to fall back into the Championship, although the fight is tough. That made it all the more important to beat Manchester United on Monday. They also won against West Ham in the cup, albeit on penalties.
The Molineux team only avoided relegation to the Championship last season after changing manager. This time, such a remedy hasn't worked, but after setting new Premier League negative records, they started to surprise in 2026, often taking points and even winning frequently. However, they suffered a heavy defeat to West Ham, losing 0-4.
The promoted club averages 1.22 goals scored and 1.53 conceded per round. The underdog scores 0.75 goals and concedes 1.81 on average.
