Wolverhampton W., Recent FormThe Wolverhampton Wanderers players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Newcastle United recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 57%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Newcastle United, who had 19 shots on goal with 8 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Julen Lopetegui will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Finding the net at home is becoming a problem for them, having been unable to score in 3 of their last 6 matches. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Leeds United, Recent FormA 2-2 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion will be viewed as a positive outcome for Leeds United and a valuable point into the bargain. They achieved 38% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Brighton & Hove Albion's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 6 away games out of 13 this season, Javi Gracia will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards. They have found it hard to grab league points away from home of late, primarily due to their back line shipping at least 1 goal in 12 of their last 13 away games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
Away from home in the league, Rodrigo Moreno Machado has given the Leeds United travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 3 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
Leeds United recorded a 2-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Wolves will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 8 encounters with The Whites.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Leeds has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Wolves in 3 games.
Rodrigo Moreno Machado is on a hot scoring streak against Wolves, having scored in each of Leeds' last 1 meetings with them.
Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Hugo Bueno (Muscle), Francisco Chiquinho (Cruciate ligament), Diego Costa (Knee), Hee-chan Hwang (Hamstring), Saša Kalajdžić (Cruciate ligament) and Boubacar Traoré (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Javi Gracia has a number of injury concerns in his Leeds squad to contend with: Liam Cooper (Muscle), Stuart Dallas (Broken leg) and Adam Forshaw (Hip)
