Chris Sutton predicts result of Leeds United and Wolves clash
Chris Sutton has predicted Wolves to edge out Leeds United and secure a one-goal victory against them on Saturday, 18 March.
The game is a six pointer as both sides are battling relegation and just four points separate the two sides with Leeds currently in the relegation zone.
The Whites will be travelling to the Molineux hoping to get something from the game against them.
Speaking to the BBC, Sutton predicted a 1-0 win for the hosts and said, “There were lots of goals the last time these two teams met at Molineux, at the end of last season. I don’t see it being quite as thrilling this time, but there is a lot at stake.
“It feels like I say every week with these predictions that Leeds have got some very talented players, but they don’t take their chances. I worry about them too.
“Wolves don’t score many goals either but I thought they deserved to get something from their trip to Newcastle last week, and I can see them nicking this one at home.”
Need the win
Javi Gracia knows that these are the games he needs to win if Leeds are to avoid relegation this season and there’s every reason to back the Whites.
They have shown improvements game after game under the Spaniard and the players really appear to be buying into his philosophy.
They may have been unlucky with Tyler Adams’ injury, but Rodrigo and Patrick Bamford’s availability surely will be a boost for them.
We’re hoping to see a more attacking display against Wolves as they were slightly pragmatic against Brighton and that’s understandable.
Wolves aren’t as good a side as the Seagulls and anything less than three points must be considered as points dropped for them.
It is going to be tricky playing away from home but these are the games that earn managers their money and Gracia surely will have a point to prove.
