After avoiding the drop to the Championship last time out, Leeds United will look to get off to a flying start when they take on Wolverhampton in the 2022/2023 season opener. Raphinha is no longer part of the team, and, in his absence, a man to watch in the home team will be summer signing Brenden Aaronson. The likes of Tyler Adams, Rasmus Kristensen, Marc Roca, and Luis Sinisterra have joined the club as well.

The Wolves, on the other hand, did well to keep hold of key attacker Raul Jimenez in the summer transfer window, but the Mexico international misses the season opener with injury. Even though Adama Traore is back from his loan spell with Barcelona, we are tempted to put our money on the Whites, who add a couple of high-profile footballers to the squad.

Here is Leeds United vs Wolves’s predictions, tv channels, free sites, team news, and the latest odds.

For its 2nd season in a row in the Premier League, Leeds almost experienced a big disappointment at the end of the year. Indeed, the Whites were quickly in great difficulty in this championship to the point of finding themselves stuck in the red zone. Finally, it was following the ousting of Argentinian coach Marcelo Bielsa that United were able to get the icing back on themselves to get out of the red zone in extremis and take 17th place in the standings with a small 3-point lead over the zone. red. This summer, Jesse Marsch's men began their preparation with two successes against Blackpool 4-0 and Brisbane Roar 2-1 before losing to Aston Villa 1-0 and being held to a draw by Crystal Palace 1-1.Wolverhampton , for its part, is well established in this Premier League championship.

If he no longer seems able, in the immediate future, to be able to win a place for Europe, the club coached by Bruno Lage does not seem to be particularly afraid to renew his place there. Last year, the Wolves also finished in 10th place in the standings with 51 points taken in 38 days. This summer, they have also prepared quite well for this new exercise with 4 wins for 2 losses in a friendly. Beaten by Levante 2-1, they then bounced back well against Besiktas 3-0 before losing the next day, with the substitutes, against the Villarreal reserve 2-1.

The Whites were unable to retain two of their starters during this transfer period and stars Rafinha (Barcelona, ​​11 goals, 3 assists) and Kalvin Phillips (Manchester City) were therefore transferred against more than 100 million euros to those two. In the opposite direction, midfielder Aaronson (Salzburg), winger Sinisterra (Feyenoord), defensive midfielder Tyler Adams (Leipzig), full-back Kristensen (Salzburg) and midfielder Marc Roca (Bayern) joined the Northern England. Wolverhampton, for its part, let go of substitute goalkeeper Ruddy (Birmingham), young striker Fabio Silva (Anderlecht, loan), left-back Marçal (Botafogo, ex-Guingamp and Lyon), defender Romain Saïss (Besiktas , formerly Le Havre and Angers).

Conversely, central defender Collins (Burnley) has arrived as reinforcements while Adama Traoré (Barcelona) and Patrick Cutrone (Empoli) are back on loan. Less visible than in previous seasons, the Mexican striker Jimenez only scored 6 goals last year in the league.

Leeds vs Wolverhampton: Quick Facts

• Wolves have won four of their last five Premier League games, including each of their last three away from home.

• Leeds have only won one of their eight Premier League games this season.

• Wolves have won two of their last three away games to nil.

Leeds picked up their first win of the season prior to the international break but the return of top-flight football last weekend saw them fall back into losing ways at Southampton and Saturday’s fixture could yield a similar outcome.

The Whites, hit heavily by injuries to the likes of Robin Koch, Luke Ayling, Patrick Bamford and Kalvin Phillips, have picked up just six points from their opening eight games and find themselves only one position above the drop zone heading into gameweek nine.

Wolves recover well after slow start

Wolves are enjoying a much more productive season so far despite beginning the Bruno Lage era with three consecutive 1-0 defeats. They were unfortunate not to claim any points from those three opening games but since then their luck has turned and they head into Saturday’s game in fine form.

They scored three goals in the final ten minutes at rivals Aston Villa last weekend to complete a miraculous comeback and that victory made it three in a row for the Midlands side.

Four of the visitors’ last five league games have ended in victory and that form continues away from home, where wins against Watford, Southampton and Villa make it three in a row on the road.

With Leeds still struggling with both form and injuries it’s hard to agree with the bookies’ favourites tag here and backing Wolves to take all three points looks a solid value bet.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side have only scored seven goals this season, too, while Wolves have won to nil in two of their last three away games to make a 1-0 correct score prediction stand out.

Leeds predicted lineup: Meslier; Llorente, Struijk, Cooper; Raphinha, Klich, Shackleton, Dallas, James; Roberts; Rodrigo

Wolves predicted lineup: Sa; Kilman, Coady, Saiss; Semedo, Neves, Moutinho, Marcal; Traore, Hee-Chan, Jimenez

Leeds vs Wolves: Best Bets

Leeds narrowly avoided relegation from the Premier League last season and Jesse Marsch will be determined to see his side avoid any kind of relegation battle altogether in 2023. Leeds kick-off the 2022/23 campaign at home to Bruno Lage's Wolves, a side that hasn't changed all that much over the summer despite many of their players being linked with moves to other clubs.

Over 2.5 Goals

There is a good chance that we will be treated to a few goals in this game, at least three to be exact. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in three of the last six meetings between these two clubs, including a five-goal thriller when the pair last locked horns back in August. Over 2.5 goals have also been scored in four of Leeds' last six matches with Marsch's side running out 6-2 winners at home to Cagliari last time out. Four of Wolves' last six matches have also witnessed at least three goals scored, adding further weight to our prediction.

Both Teams to Score

This game should be fairly close and competitive throughout, both teams have their injury concerns and are unlikely to be able to field their strongest starting elevens. Both teams have scored in three of the last six meetings between Leeds and Wolves, including both of their head-to-heads from the previous campaign. Three of Leeds' and four of Wolves' last six outings in all competitions have also ended with both teams getting on the scoreboard.

Leeds will be hoping to pick up where they left off against Cagliari

Leeds have been busy this summer bringing in the likes of Aaronson from RB Salzburg for almost £30m, Sinisterra from Feyenoord for £22m, Adams from RB Leipzig for £18m, Kristensen from RB Salzburg for £11.70m and Gyabi has arrived from Man City's Under 21s for around £5m. However, two huge names have left the club for pastures new with Raphina getting his dream move to Barcelona for just over £50m and Phillips made the short trip to man City for £43.87m.
