Wolves vs Leeds: Injury Woes & Score Predictions! Who Will Prevail?
Leeds United are set to clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers in a Premier League showdown, but injury concerns loom large for the Whites. Manager Daniel Farke has revealed that key players Daniel James and Willy Gnonto are major doubts for the match due to muscle and calf problems, respectively. Their absence would undoubtedly impact Leeds' attacking options.
Adding to Leeds' woes, goalkeeper Lucas Perri remains sidelined with an injury. Farke anticipates having a clearer picture of Perri's return timeline next week, but Karl Darlow is expected to continue between the posts for the upcoming away games.
Hwang's Goal-Scoring Odds & Wolves' Struggles
Meanwhile, all eyes are on Wolverhampton Wanderers' Hee-chan Hwang, with bookmakers offering odds of +230 for him to score against Leeds. Hwang has already bagged one goal this season, matching his expected goals (xG) tally. However, Wolves have struggled to find the net as a team, managing only two goals in four matches.
Wolves' overall performance has been concerning, with four consecutive league defeats. Their defensive record is also poor, having conceded nine goals in those four games. Leeds, on the other hand, have conceded six goals but have only scored one. Both teams are desperate for points, making this a crucial encounter.
