Command Analysis
Leicester City
EnglandCurrent form
After Ruud van Nistelrooy took over as head coach, Leicester played two good matches. They managed to beat West Ham at home (3:1) and also take points from Brighton (2:2) on their home field. However, the away match with Newcastle ended in a crushing defeat 0:4. In that match, absolutely nothing worked in attack - during the entire match, they made only four shots towards the goal, only one of which hit the target. With 14 points, the Foxes are in the saving 17th place in the table, but they are only two points clear of the relegation zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fatawa, Pereira, Stolyarchik and Ndidi will be out today due to injuries. Hermansen and Edouard appearance on the field is questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- Leicester have been losing in the first half in four of their last five matches
- Leicester have scored at least three goals in their last six Premier League games
Probable line-up: Ward - Justin, Okolie, Vestergaard, Christensen - Winks, Soumare - McAteer, Buonanotte, El Hannous - Vardy.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
EnglandCurrent form
Wolverhampton had a small surge in play and results in November, but then a decline followed, or rather a crisis. In the last four rounds, the Wolves suffered defeats with a total score of 4:12. Moreover, during this period, the team lost two key matches in the fight for survival with Everton (0:4) and Ipswich (1:2). As a result, immediately after the defeat to the Tractor Workers, Gary O'Neill was dismissed, and Portuguese Vitor Pereira took his place. In the tournament table with nine points, Wolverhampton occupies 19th place and is five points behind the saving 17th line, where today opponent Leicester is located.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ait Nouri will miss the match through suspension, while Sarabia, Mosquera, Traore, Kalajdzic, Sa and Gonzalez are all out through injury.
Interesting trends for betting

- The goal swap bet has played in 13 of Wolves' last 15 Premier League games
Probable line-up: Johnston - Semedo, Bueno, Toti Gomes - Lima, Joao Gomes, Lemina, Doherty - Bellegarde, Cunha - Strand-Larsen.

9.70Tip and bets
Bookmakers do not single out a favorite in the upcoming game between the outsiders. We think it is still worth giving preference to Wolverhampton despite a series of four defeats in a row. The Wolves have had a change of coach, which should shake up the team a little. Moreover, the Foxes are not particularly stable, and there are often noticeable problems in the attack.
Our prediction is a victory for Wolverhampton with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 1.96
Bet on total
Wolverhampton games regularly feature a plethora of goals. There have been at least three goals scored in six games in a row. We think Leicester will support such a bold and open game, and both teams have plenty of problems in defense.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.65
Bet on corners
Let take a look at the promising trend in corners. Leicester have not taken more than four corners in 10 of their last 12 home matches in the Premier League. Accordingly, we recommend another option for a bet with high odds.
Prediction - Leicester corners total under 4.5 with odds of 2.20
