Today’s Football Prediction Wolverhampton vs Leicester City

The Wolves receive the Leicester City from the nefarious Claude Puel in the match of the 3rd round of the EFL Cup, the Carabao Cup. The Wolverhampton Wanderers dominated at their whim the last edition of the Championship in the hand of the coach of Valencia and their close collaboration with the soccer agency Gestifute, owned by Jorge Mendes.

The Wolves have almost 200 million euros of budget, and far from maintaining the base of the team last year, has been one of the clubs that has made more moves in the summer market, investing more than 72 million euros in the signings of the extremes Adam Traoré (Middlesbrough) and Diogo Jota (loaned last year by Atlético de Madrid, have bought their definitive pass for 14 million); central defender Willy Boly, striker Benik Afobe; the Portuguese international Joao Moutinho; the scorer Léo Bonatini; the assignment of Mexican forward Raúl Jiménez from Benfica; left-back Rubén Vinagre; the assigned Leander Dendoncker and Jonny Castro; apart from the free arrival of Rui Patricio from Sporting CP.

After debuting with a draw at home to Everton (2-2), the team lost at King Power Stadium to Leicester City (2-0), drew at home (1-1) against City and defeated West Ham at the London Stadium (0-1). At Old Trafford, last Saturday, the team maintained its unbeaten record with a draw against ManU.

Eleven Probable: Rui Patricio – Bennett, Coady, Boly – Traoré, Moutinho, Neves, Jonny – Jota, Bonatini, Raúl Jiménez.
Leicester City has opted for the continuity of Frenchman Claude Puel on the bench despite his disastrous performance last year. The former Premier League champion in 2016 finished in the top 10 last season after being let go in the last third. Despite everything, the owner has decided to keep the former Southampton coach in the absence of a better option and against the opinion of a significant part of the staff.

Two of the pillars of the winning team of the title, the German central Robert Huth (has gone free) and Algerian playmaker Riyad Mahrez (transferred to Manchester City in exchange for 68 million euros) are the main casualties of the team, although they may not be the last since both goalkeeper Kaspers Schmeichel and central England Harry Maguire have many offers after shining in the World Cup in Russia.

In the chapter of signings, the team has invested what was received for the sale of Mahrez in four players: the English midfielder James Madison, from Norwich; the Portuguese right-back of FC Porto Ricardo Pereira; Liverpool Welsh goalkeeper Danny Ward; and former Manchester United central Jonny Evans.

After debuting with a 2-1 loss at Old Trafford, Puel’s side beat Wolverhampton (2-0) and Southampton the following day (1-2), losing to Liverpool at home (1-2), humiliated by Bournemouth (4-2) and winning at Huddersfield Town last Saturday.

In this competition, he eliminated Fleetwood Town in the second round.

Eleven Probable: Schmeichel – Chilwell, Maguire, Morgan, Pereira – Ndidi, Mendy – Albrighton, Gray, Maddison – Iheanacho.

The Wolves have a coach while the Foxes have Claude Puel. The premises will be classified.
