Leicester City have performed better than Wolverhampton Wanderers so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:
Leicester City have less rest than Wolverhampton Wanderers in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Europa League game only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Sporting Braga, was also a home game here at King Power Stadium. The away team is better rested.
Leicester City form and stats
Three Premier League home games done for Leicester City, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches. The Leicester manager B. Rodgers might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
The Leicester supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Sporting Braga in Europa League and win 4-0. In the game before, an away victory in the Premier League match versus Leeds United with a 4-1 scoreline.
As mentioned above, Leicester "killed" Sporting Braga in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
This is expected to be a close game, with Leicester City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Leicester as a small favourite), we find eight games. Leicester City has won two of these, drawn four and lost two.
The Leicester City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Leicester City are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).
Wolverhampton Wanderers form and stats
It's gone fairly well in the Premier League away games so far for Wolverhampton Wanderers with six points collected from three matches.
Wolverhampton Wanderers won their last game, 2-0 versus Crystal Palace played at home. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Newcastle United.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Wolves playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were four Wolverhampton Wanderers wins, three draws and one defeat.
Wolves find the net regularly in their away games. 3 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. 4 goals have been conceded by Wolves in these games.
