Wolves again go in search of their first points of the season this weekend, taking on Leeds United in the Premier League.
It has been a poor start from Wolves, who have opened with defeats to Manchester City, Bournemouth, Everton and Newcastle United.
Fans didn’t expect a big haul of points from these opening games, but fans are concerned about the club taking zero points so far.
Vitor Pereira is confident he can raise the level at Wolves, now that he’s had a bit more time to work with some of the newer players.
On Saturday, it’s Leeds at Molineux for Wolves – and it’s a game both sides will see as an opportunity for three points.
And ahead of the contest, Paul Merson has made his score prediction.
Paul Merson drops score prediction for Wolves vs Leeds
Wolves have lost eight of their last nine games at Molineux in August and September, which is alarming.
Pereira will desperately hope Wolves don’t make it nine losses in 10.
Daniel Farke will feel this is a great chance for his side to get three big points on the board, and Wolves must ensure they don’t allow their opponents to feel their way into the game – a fast and intense start will be essential.
In the eyes of Paul Merson, Wolves will indeed get their first win this Saturday.
Predicting a 2-0 win, he told Sportskeeda: “Leeds were very unlucky against Fulham. That terrible own goal at the end hurt them so much. What I will say is that they can’t keep playing for draws in away games, like they did at Fulham.
“Sometimes, you have to take a chance and try to get a result. Leeds will believe this is a winnable game. They will be thinking, ‘If we want to stay up, this is a team that we must beat’.
“Wolves will have too much for them in my opinion though. A win and a clean sheet for the hosts at Molineux.”
Pundit Gabby Agbonlahor predicts a 0-0 draw between Wolves and Leeds, feeling the game has a draw written ‘all over it’.
Wolves vs Leeds could be a tight affair
This game feels like it won’t yield many goals.
This season, Leeds have scored just the one goal – which is the fewest they’ve ever managed after four games of a league campaign.
| Wolves and Leeds head-to-head record |
| Meetings – 104 |
| Wolves wins – 36 |
| Draws – 23 |
| Leeds wins – 45 |
And Wolves have managed just two so far, and there has been a real lack of a cutting edge up top.
It would be no surprise at all if one team nicked a 1-0 win, and hopefully that team is going to be Wolves – another defeat against a potential relegation rival would worsen the mood significantly.
