Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leeds United will lock horns at Molineux in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Vitor Pereira’s hosts have come away empty-handed from each of their opening four league games of the season, most recently slumping to a 1-0 defeat away at Newcastle.
That latest loss means that Wolves have made their worst start to a season in 127 years.
Seeking to arrest their slump, the Old Gold will look to finally get up and running by earning a win over Leeds this weekend.
After hitting the ground running on their return to the top-flight with a 1-0 win over Everton, Leeds have picked up just one point from their subsequent three fixtures.
Daniel Farke and his side will have to lift themselves up off the canvas after falling to a last-gasp 1-0 loss away at Fulham last weekend.
How the bookies view it: Wolves to get maiden win
Despite being the only team in the Premier League without any points at this stage of the season, Wolves come into this clash as marginal 8/5 favourites with Boylesports.
Leeds – who have lost each of their opening two Premier League away games of the season – are narrow 7/4 outsiders on Boylesports while the draw is trading at 21/10 with the same firm.
Head to head: Wolves recent record not up to scratch
Wolves have failed to take top honours from four of their previous five encounters with Leeds, losing each of the last three top-flight tussles between the pair.
Players to watch: van Hone in on Hee-Chan Hwang
Hee-Chan Hwang has registered a shot on target in each of Wolves’ last two Premier League matches, making the South Korean forward an attractive option to repeat the trick on Saturday at 5/6 on Ladbrokes.
Anton Stach has committed two or more fouls in each of Leeds’ last three Premier League games. With that in mind, the German midfielder looks well worthy of support for two or more misdemeanours at Molineux at 5/6 on Bet365.
Predicted line-ups
Wolves again look set to be without key forward Jorgen Strand Larsen who is suffering with an achilles injury, while Ki-Jana Hoever will definitely miss out due to a knee injury.
Leeds will once again be unable to call upon the services of Lucas Perri, so Karl Darlow is expected to remain between the sticks for the visitors.
Wolves: Jose Sa; S Bueno, Agbadou, Krejci; R Gomes, J Gomes, Bellegarde, Moller Wolfe; Fer Lopez, Hwang, Arias
Leeds: Darlow; Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Stach, Ampadu, Longstaff; James, Calvert-Lewin, Gnonto
Anything else catch the eye?
With Anthony Taylor the man in the middle for this match on Saturday afternoon, it’s difficult to envisage a card-heavy game at Molineux.
The 46-year-old whistler tends to take a lenient approach, evidenced by the fact that he kept his cards in his pocket during last week’s Manchester derby as well as PSV’s midweek clash with Union Saint-Gilloise in the Champions League.
With that in mind, the 5/6 on Bet365 for no cards to be shown before the 33rd minute represents a nice slice of value.
