Wolves are set to take on Sunderland away from home on Saturday afternoon as the Old Gold look for their first win of the Premier League season, and Regis Le Bris has given his verdict on the side.
The Black Cats are in good form, and that will make it a tricky fixture for Vitor Pereira.
Past history has set a bad precedent for Wolves in this matchup, but they’ll be hoping to overcome the odds as they seek to avoid relegation.
The opposition manager has been speaking ahead of the game and has delivered his opinion on the Wanderers so far this season.
Regis Le Bris praises Wolves and Vitor Pereira
Regis Le Bris has heaped praise on both Wolves and Vitor Pereira ahead of their Premier League clash this weekend.
Le Bris was speaking in his pre-match press conference and said, “They struggled at the beginning of the league, but the last two games showed that they are really competitive. They deserved to win their last two games.
“Good players, good energy, well coached. This is the league; you can struggle even if you are strong. If you are not clinical, you can be punished. They had many chances to score a second goal. That is the Premier League. I hope that we will be able to score twice and win.”
The Frenchman’s last comment about needing two goals to win is interesting and perhaps shows how dangerous he believes Wolves’ attackers can be.
Le Bris seemingly expects the Wanderers to score at least once.
The Old Gold have struggled in front of goal this season, but with Jorgen Strand Larsen returning closer to full fitness, they’ll be looking to their star forward to hit the back of the net.
Wolves have their lowest shots per game ever in the Premier League, and that will be a major issue that Pereira must fix for Saturday.
With just two points from seven games, the Molineux side are desperate to get their first win under their belt, as pressure begins to increase at the club.
