WOLVES host Leeds on Friday night from the Premier League. Chris Clark (@ChrisClark1975) shares his verdict.
Wolves vs Leeds | Friday 18th March 2022, 19:45 | Sky Sports
Wolves are back on form, after picking up six points against bottom-six outfits Watford and Everton. They host another struggler in Leeds on Friday night, and the Molineux men have a fine recent record against the Whites. The Old Gold have won five of the last six meetings against Leeds.
Leeds might have picked up three points last time out against Norwich, but it required a last-minute winner. There are currently 20 points between the two sides, and if someone told you that at the start of the season, you might have said yes, I could picture Leeds being 20 points ahead of Wolves.
However, it's the other way round, and whisper it quietly Bruno Lage has done an excellent job at Wolves. They're still in the race for the top-four with under 10 league games to go. That's an excellent effort from all concerned.
Whilst the Old Gold don't rattle the onion bag on a consistent basis, – they're currently going at a goal a game in the league (29 goals, 29 games) you can get them to collect a safe three points on Friday and Under 2.5 Goals at 5/2 with Bet365.
Elsewhere, Leeds love a yellow card – they've had 85 so far – that's 20 more than their closest rival Newcastle. Junior Firpo leads the way with nine bookings, but unfortunately he is out injured on Friday.
With Wolves tricky wingers, Podence, Neto, Trincao I will stick with Leeds full backs for a yellow. Stuart Dallas is a whole-hearted player but he's no Premier League full back, and he's best priced at 3/1 to pick up a card.
Best Bets
Wolves vs Leeds – Wolves to win and Under 2.5 Goals (5/2 Bet365)
Wolves vs Leeds – Stuart Dalles to be carded (3/1 Unibet)
