Big Wolves call made in expectation from Leeds United clash amid possible huge Whites boost
Leeds United’s next hosts Wolves are still seeking their first point of the new Premier League season.
A big Wolves call has been made in expectations from Saturday’s Premier League visit of Leeds United amid a possible huge Whites boost.
United’s next game takes them to a Wolves side who sit bottom of the early Premier League table as the only team in the division without a single point after four games played.
The bookies, though, think that Vitor Pereira’s side will hit lift-off against Daniel Farke’s Whites, the odds compilers making Wolves marginal favourites despite the possibility of a huge Whites boost.
Main Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen is favourite in the first goalscorer market at 13-2 and shorter with some firms but the Norwegian is a doubt for Saturday afternoon’s 3pm kick-off due to an Achilles tendon injury.
The subject of a rejected £55m bid from Newcastle United this summer, his possible absence would be a big boost to United’s chances but the bookies still make Wolves 8-5 favourites with some firms as short as 11-8.
£24m signing could emerge as main Leeds threat
Leeds can be backed at just short of the 2-1 mark at 15-8 whilst the draw is on offer at 47-20.
Should Strand Larsen miss out, fellow Wolves striker Tolu Arokodare would head the first scorer market, the Nigerian international £24m summer signing currently 13-2 next best.
At 15-2, Joel Piroe is rated the chief Leeds threat but the same price as no goalscorer, marginally ahead of Dominic Calvert-Lewin at 8s.
Wolves forward Hee-Chan Hwang is next at 17-2, followed by Whites striker Lukas Nmecha at 17-2.
In a tight market, a 1-1 draw is favourite in the correct score market at 11-2, followed by a 1-0 win for the hosts at 15-2.
A goalless draw and 1-0 triumph for Farke’s side are next, both priced up as 8-1 shots.
