Wolverhampton Wanderers will be looking to continue their resurgent form when then travel to Elland Road on Saturday to take on Leeds United in a fascinating Premier League round nine fixtured, which is scheduled to kickoff at 17:00.
Leeds had an impressive first season back to the top-flight last term punching above their weight to finish in the ninth spot, which is impressive for a newly-promoted side. However, Marcelo Bielsa’s side have been struggling this season displaying worrying signs of second season syndrome as they are failing to back their impressive first season in the Premier League.
Leeds have only won one of their eight opening matches and currently sit just a spot with just three points above the relegation zone meaning that a defeat on Saturday could see them drop to the relegation zone.
The Whites head into the match in a poor form having just managed two wins in their last six matches across all competitions and are coming off a disappointing 1-0 defeat at Southampton and Bielsa will be hoping his side will make use of the home advantage where they have collected four points this season.
Meanwhile Wolverhampton Wanderers have bounced back from a poor start to the season and currently find themselves at the middle of the table standings. Bruno Lage’s side lost all their opening three matches managing to score just two goals in their opening four matches with one being an own goal.
However, Wanderers have now managed to pick up four wins in their last Premier League matches managing to find the net six times in their last three league matches and should be able to bag some in this match.
Bruno Lage’s side head into the match in a good form having just lost two of their last six matches across all competitions picking up four wins and have a three-match winning streak. There brimming in confidence after their outstanding comeback win at Villa Park last week, where they pulled a 3-2 comeback with only 10 minutes to go. Also, Wolves have an impressive record in this fixture having won their last three league trips to Elland Road without conceding a goal and have won in all their last five meetings against Leeds.
