An examination of their past head-to-head meetings stretching back to 22/11/2017 shows us that Leeds United have won 1 of these games and Wolves 4, with the tally of drawn matches standing at 1. It looks as if The Whites should make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation with Illan Meslier, Rasmus Kristensen, Robin Koch, Diego Llorente, Pascal Struijk, Tyler Adams, Marc Roca, Brenden Aaronson, Rodrigo, Jack Harrison and Patrick Bamford. Wolves manager Bruno Lage has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Raúl Jiménez (Knee Injury), José Sá (Unknown Injury) and Chiquinho (Cruciate Ligament Injury) will not be playing here. We feel that over the course of the game, Wolverhampton Wanderers may not find it easy to get anything against this Leeds United team who we think will likely get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well. We therefore see a very competitive game with a 1-0 winning score for Leeds United at the end of the match.
Leeds secured their Premier League safety on the final day of the season and they'll be looking to enjoy a more comfortable campaign. Jesse Marsch made a solid impact following his appointment and has been well backed in the transfer market. By comparison, Wolves have only signed Nathan Collins, the centre-back joining from relegated Burnley. Bruno Lage's side were dire at the end of last season as they failed to win their final seven games of the campaign. Wolves did have one of the best defensive records in the league last season and that should help secure a positive result on Saturday. 1:1
Leeds have a few injury issues ahead of their opening game of the season, with summer signing Luis Sinisterra among those sidelined. Stuart Dallas, Junior Firpo, Luke Ayling and Adam Forshaw are absent, while Daniel James is suspended. Jesse Marsch should hand league debuts to no fewer than four new signings. Wolves have signed only Nathan Collins from Burnley this summer, and the centre-back should feature from the outset at Elland Road. Jose Sa has recovered from injury and will feature between the sticks at Leeds. Chiquinho and Raul Jimenez sit out the visit to Leeds, while this one may come too soon for Adama Traore, Nelson Semedo and Toti.
