Wolverhampton Wanderers will welcome Black Country rivals Leicester City to Molineux in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Vitor Pereira’s side are enjoying a storming end to the season, comfortably pulling away from the relegation zone as a result.
Last time out, in-form Wolves made it five Premier League wins in succession with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford.
That triumph has lifted the Old Gold up to 15th spot in the table, and they will fancy their chances of putting another three points on the board at the expense of Leicester.
The Foxes' inevitable relegation back to the English Championship was confirmed last weekend when losing 1-0 at home to Liverpool, in a game that brought up one of my bets.
Consequently, Ruud van Nistelrooy’s already-relegated side have nothing to play for but pride heading into the final five rounds of Premier League action.
How the bookies view it: Another Wolves win
Wolves are heavy 11/20 favourites on Boylesports to claim what would be a sixth Premier League win in succession. Backing the hosts to prevail alongside over 1.5 goals will bolster the odds up to a much more enticing 10/11 with the same firm.
Leicester – who have lost 16 of their last 18 Premier League matches – are 9/2 outsiders on Boylesports while the draw is also deemed unlikely at 3/1 with the same oddsmaker.
Head to head: Wolves hunting double
After cruising to a comfortable 3-0 success at the King Power in this season’s reverse fixture, Wolves are targeting a first league double over Leicester since season 1957-58. The same scoreline on Saturday is trading at 10/1 with Boylesports.
Players to watch: Cunha to fire against Foxes?
Matheus Cunha has registered 18 goal contributions across his 28 Premier League appearances for Wolves this season, scoring against Leicester in this season’s reverse fixture. That makes the Brazilian ace an attractive option for a goal or an assist on Saturday at 4/5 with PaddyPower.
Stephy Mavididi scored in Leicester’s last Premier League away game at Brighton. The Foxes forward is a 7/2 shot on Boylesports to repeat the trick at Molineux this weekend.
Predicted line-ups
Wolves again look set to be without injured quartet Enso Gonzalez, Leon Chiwome and Sasa Kalajdzic and Yerson Mosquera.
Heading into this game, Leicester’s only two absentees look set to be Abdul Fatawu and Jeremy Monga
Wolves: Bentley; Bueno, Agbadou, Toti; Semedo, J. Gomes, Andre, Ait-Nouri; Munetsi, Cunha; Strand Larsen
Leicester: Hermansen; Pereira, Faes, Coady, Thomas; Ndidi, Soumare; Decordova-Reid, El Khannouss, Mavididi; Vardy
Anything else catch the eye?
While Leicester have been shot-shy in front of goal of late, I’m prepared to go against the grain here and back both teams to score here at 4/5 on Boylesports.
Both teams have scored in 10 of Wolves’ 16 Premier League home games, including three of their last four.
What's more, the same selection would have also been a winning one in 10 of Leicester’s 16 top flight tussles away from home this term.
