Wolves to win
After three defeats in a row against Crystal Palace, West Ham, and Arsenal, Wolves have bounced back beating Watford 4-0 and Everton 1-0. Wolves come up against a similar standard of opposition in Leeds who defeated strugglers Norwich 2-1 but lost their previous six in a row.
Wolves to win to nil
Wolves have been solid defensively all season. With just 23 goals conceded only the top three have conceded less. Out of the three defeats mentioned, only one of these was at home and Wolves face a Leeds team who similar to Everton and Watford are struggling at the bottom of the table.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leeds United
Wolves still harbour hopes of qualifying for Europe next season and that would cap off an impressive first season in charge for Bruno Lage.
Wanderers have found scoring goals a struggle this season averaging just one goal per game. However, they have proven tough to break down and this is why they find themselves in eighth place with a considerable gap between them and ninth placed Midlands rivals Aston Villa.
There has been signs of improvement lately in attack and Wolves have a chance to build further confidence as they face Leeds who have conceded a league high 65 goals this season.
Leeds recorded their first win of the Jesse Marsch era on Sunday as they defeated fellow strugglers Norwich City 2-1.
The crucial win at Elland Road put a four-point gap between the Whites and 18th placed Watford but there is still a lot of work to do to secure Premier League safety.
Leeds’ hopes and dreams may rest on 19-year-old academy product Joe Gelhardt. The young striker scored the winning goal against Norwich and with star striker Patrick Bamford suffering awful luck with injuries, Marsch may turn to Gelhardt from the start as he looks to build momentum.
Get Rich Quick
Three out of Wolves’ last four victories have seen them get off to quick starts securing a lead within the first 15 minutes, while four out of Leeds’ last seven matches has seen them concede a goal before the 30-minute mark.
Wolves to be leading at 30 minutes is priced at 3.4. Depending on how much risk you might want to take, Wolves to be ahead after 15 minutes is priced at 5.5 and to lead by half-time is priced at 2.75.
