v Leicester Predictions

[WonderWolf]

Let’s get them in while we’re on a high with relief.

It really pains that we were near enough on par with this lot. With many games close affairs and the swing with luck being the difference it’s truly maddening that the current gulf with points and placing is what it is.

With belief now back with us a concentrated effort should see us well able to take all the points.

3 – 1.

Heart says 1-0 wolves.
I don't want to write what my head says.

 

[SuperGran]

1-0 offside goal given by var

Is Vardy fit? If he plays that could make a big difference with his pace. It's hard to look past a Leicester win tbh. They recruited well - wtf did Fofana and Justin come from and Castangne looks a steal? I'm really interested to watch Maddison v us over the 90 minutes and see what we are missing and the type of player we must recruit in the summer. I think it will be tight and perhaps the rub of the green will fall our way again but I'm still going 1-2.

 

[pacamac]

Tough game would probably take a draw to be honest but who knows what Wolves team will come out.

2-1 Wolves!

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

4 2 wolves. Belter .

 

[Sheriff Woody]

Ecstatic to win last night after such a poor run. Leicester are a very very good team though and if we start anything like we did in the opening 40 minutes yesterday we could find ourselves in trouble.

Tielemans in midfield was a player I really liked and thought we might go in for him before he went there. I think they might just have a bit too much energy and athleticism for us in the middle of the park with him and Mendy. Throw Maddison and Harvey Barnes into the mix too and we might have some problems.

I just think Leicester may have too much for us

2-0 to the East Midlands.

2-0 to the East Midlands.

I feel that way too, I'd love a draw. But I have a feeling we'll score so 2-1 for me.

What I'll be looking for in this game is the level of performance, effort, commitment etc. If we do lose this match I'd like it to lose it well... I'm not sure that's a good way of putting it but hopefully people will know what I'm droning on about!

 

[WW1963]

Wolves 2-1 Leicester

Two red cards for Leicester in the first half and a 94th minute winner via a bullet header from the ref.

 

[Mardenboroughs Shoulder]

4 - 3 Wolves after being 3 - 0 down at half time. It's what we do against Leicester. Willian Jose hat trick. Left foot , right foot and header!

 

[Frank Lincoln]

We are due a bit of luck against Leicester, so if we didn't use it all up last night I will go for 1 - 0 Wolves.

I think Vardy is out for a few weeks.

It's as likely to happen as what happened last night!

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Hopefully fulham give them a real game tonight and sap a bit of energy from them. The extra 24 hours recovery could make a difference.

 

[Golden_Wolf]

Think Vardy is back for this & would be loving his chances if we play such a high line. That said, if we're going with a back 4, its to be expected so we can press the opposition better.

Would love 3, but gladly take 1. I felt we needed 4 from these 2 games to just start getting some confidence back.

 

[Coffer Wolf]

I'd take a clean sheet. Anything else being a bonus.

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

I think Vardy is out for a few weeks.

That's really good news if true as I think he'd run our 2 cbs ragged. I hope we come out on the front foot and not like we did last night. Start like that again and we will be 2 down in 15 minutes and there's no coming back from that.

 

[Halesowen wwfc]

We are absolutely due some luck and var to our benefit against these after the last few games against em. Im going same as last night 2-1 to us

 

[Wanderer Til I Die]

1-1

Vardy 'could' be back is the latest...(hopefully he's not fully fit if he is)

 

[cookey]

Score draw or narrow Wolves win if Vardy is out, really miss the Steve Bull vs Steve Walsh "battles" which used to enliven this fixture up 30 odd years ago though.

 

[MolineuxMixer]

Hat trick of a 4-3 result!

2 of the best games in the last 20 years have involved comebacks against Leicester.

 

[Deleted member 11332]

With no Vardy Leicester looked utterly toothless the weekend. I'm not sure how a Moutinho Neves midfield (if they play again) copes with Maddison operating in those spaces. If we can shut him down we can win this. Be a close game, Leicester have quality at the back. 1-0 wolves.

 

[VancouverWolf]

No two ways around it.
They’re playing well and we’re not. I’m not confident at all but on the day we might grab a 1-1 draw.
Can’t see us scoring two........hope they don’t.

 

[arctic rime]

Wolves win

 

[zedkiel60]

Home win by the odd goal Jose with the winner

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

1-0 Wolves Jose. Vardy and Justin sent off

 

[Sketchead]

0-5 Leicester.

Very true and I was at both! Don't think we're good enough to do it again against this Leicester side!

Never say never lol

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Never say never lol

Agreed! Never give up hope but it's the hope and the expectation that kills you!

 

[Big Saft Kid]

About time we beat these ****ers. We've been VAR-ed out of a couple of wins. 2-0 to us.

 

[NewarkWolf]

Very open game. Hard to predict but there will be goals, how it ends is anyones guess!!!

Bully v Walsh yes , some titanic battles there , makes me feel my age when you say 30 odd years ago , I remember those battles well

 

[Ginger Chimp]

I have a gut feeling that Sunday will be the game that sees us get absolutely battered.

1-5

[Axle]

Going to be tough and contingent on Vardy's fitness.

I can't see much beyond a Lesta win and think they will have too much for us and they will win 2-1.

Saddens me more as a Wolves fan living in Loughborough.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Always close between us and them,just hope we havent used all our luck up in one game
Dont care if Vardy plays or not he rarely does anything against us
Heres the score 3-2 to the good guys

 

[those were the days]

If Vardy plays, I'd expect us to play a deeper defensive line and revert to a back 3 with wing backs and make it as difficult as possible for Leicester to attack through us. Horses for courses and all that. We generally keep Vardy quiet playing that way. Play like we did in the first-half yesterday and give him space behind to run into and we're likely in big trouble. Leicester have a lot of technical midfield players who can thread a decent pass too (Maddison, Tielemans) so 3-5-2 would be my set-up.

 

[IOMWolf]

To be fair we’ve handled Vardy pretty well since we came back up
