The Premier League Matchday 5 clash between Wolverhampton and Leeds will take place on September 20 at Molineux Stadium. Wolverhampton vs. Leeds: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Wolverhampton
Vitor Pereira's side is at the bottom of the Premier League table, having yet to secure any points. Like Wolverhampton, Aston Villa is also winless but has managed to earn two points. At home, the club suffered defeats to Manchester City (0-4) and Everton (2-3), and away, they lost 0-1 to both Bournemouth and Newcastle. This marks the worst start in the club's history in the English top flight.
- The club's winless streak in the league extends to 8 matches (1 draw and 7 losses).
- At least one team failed to score in 7 of Wolverhampton's last 10 Premier League games.
- The club has not won in 4 consecutive home matches in the Premier League (1 draw and 3 losses).
Predicted lineup for Wolverhampton (5-4-1)
Sam Johnstone – Yerson Mosquera, Tote Gomes, Ladislav Krejci, Emmanuel Agbadou, Hugo Bueno – Andre, Joao Gomes, Tolu Arokodare, Rodrigo Gomes – Hwang Hee-chan.

Leeds
Daniel Farke's side has accumulated 4 points, all earned at their home stadium. They defeated Everton (1-0) and played a goalless draw with Newcastle. However, away from home, the team lost to Arsenal (0-5) and Fulham (0-1). Leeds has not scored in three consecutive league matches but is currently outside the relegation zone, one point clear.
- In the last 13 Premier League games, the club has secured only 1 victory (3 draws and 7 losses).
- At least three goals were scored in 13 of Leeds' last 17 league matches.

Wolverhampton vs. Leeds: Match Prediction
Bookmakers offer roughly equal odds for the teams to win this match. This is due to the current poor form of the home side, but I believe Vitor Pereira's team will come out on top in this encounter. Wolverhampton has only faltered against Manchester City, while Leeds has been fortunate in several matches. It's worth noting that Leeds' only goal this season came from a penalty.
Wolverhampton is weak this season, but they will secure three points against the league newcomer. Leeds performs even worse away from home than Vitor Pereira's side does at their own ground. In the last seven away Premier League matches, Leeds has not earned a single point, conceding a total of 21 goals in this series.
My prediction – Wolverhampton to Win
* Each team's starting lineup is based on their last match in this tournament.
