Leicester City vs. Wolverhampton prediction, odds, line: Expert reveals Premier League picks, bets for Feb. 20

It will be a clash of styles on Sunday at Molineux Stadium when Wolverhampton hosts Leicester City in an English Premier League matchup. Wolves (11-4-8) have been one of the league’s top defensive teams, while Leicester (7-6-9) can’t stop anyone but has the talent in attack to do some damage. Wolverhampton is seventh in the Premier League table, just six points behind fourth-place Manchester United entering the weekend. The Foxes are in the 12th spot as they battle major injury issues, especially on the back line. However, Wolves don’t score many goals in their defensive posture, so it should prove to be be an intriguing game.

Why you should back Wolverhampton

The Wolves back line has been tough to crack all season, and Leicester hasn’t scored once in the past five meetings. Wolverhampton scored just once in each of its two victories, but it has allowed just 17 goals all season, including just three over its last seven matches. That includes clean sheets against Man United, Chelsea and Tottenham. It has allowed the fourth-fewest shots on target in the league (88), while Leicester has yielded the fourth-most on net (113). The Wolves attack is 18th in the EPL in shots on net (239), but the Foxes are 17th with just 256.    

If the shots are on target, Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa is more than likely going to stop them, as he leads the league with an 85.2 save percentage and is fourth with 75 saves. The defensive focus keeps Wolves from lighting up the scoreboard, but Mexican striker Raul Jimenez can definitely cause trouble. He is the team’s top scorer with five goals and will be looking to exploit a makeshift Leicester back line that could feature players in unfamiliar positions. Leicester has allowed the fifth-most goals in the EPL (41) and has conceded 23 in its last 10 games overall.     

Why you should back Leicester City

The Foxes are in the midst of their worst season in manager Brendan Rodgers’ four years with the club. They finished fifth the past two seasons and won the FA Cup last May, but injuries have decimated the team. Jamie Vardy remains the top scorer with nine goals despite being out since late December, and the defense has been hit hard. Still, the team has talent to score goals, and it comes in off a 4-1 victory against Randers in a Europa Conference League match Thursday. It also should draw a little confidence from a 2-2 draw with West Ham last Sunday. 

Patson Daka (four goals, three assists) and Harvey Barnes (two goals, four assists) both scored against Randers, as did Wilfred Ndidi and Kiernan Dewsbury Hall. Youri Tielemans tallied his sixth goal of the season against the Hammers last weekend, and James Maddison also has scored six times. Barnes and Maddison have combined for seven assists, and Kelechi Iheanacho (two goals, four assists) is more than capable of unlocking defenses. If the Foxes can get on the scoreboard just once, they should be able to come away with at least a point.
