Wolves welcome a struggling Leicester City side to Molineux Stadium on 26 April 2025, as both clubs head into this Premier League clash on vastly different trajectories. While the Foxes continue to falter near the relegation zone, Wolves are flying high after five straight wins. Kick Off Nigeria editor Ayomide Oguntimehin breaks down the form, key players, and the best betting odds for this high-stakes encounter.
Match Preview: Wolves vs Leicester
Wolves are one of the Premier League’s hottest teams right now, winning five consecutive matches—including impressive victories over Manchester United (1–0), Tottenham Hotspur (4–2), and Ipswich Town (2–1). With Molineux once again becoming a fortress, Gary O’Neil’s side enters this match as clear favourites.
Leicester, by contrast, are spiraling. Winless in their last five matches, the Foxes have struggled badly in attack—failing to score in four of those games. Dean Smith’s men are sliding dangerously close to the relegation zone and desperately need a turnaround.

Recent Form: Wolves
Wolves are hitting top gear at just the right time. Their current five-game winning streak in the Premier League includes statement wins against top-half teams like Spurs and United. They’ve climbed the table steadily and are now well clear of the drop zone.
At Molineux, they’ve been especially strong—unbeaten in their last three home games and losing just once in their last five. Wolves have also been productive in front of goal, scoring eight times in their last three matches on home turf.
Recent Form: Leicester City
Leicester’s confidence is at rock bottom. Their last five games have produced three defeats and two draws, with the Foxes scoring only two goals while conceding 11. A narrow 1–0 loss to Liverpool summed up their toothless attack and fragile defense.
Their away form offers little encouragement: three losses and one draw in their last four away games, and no goals scored in three of those. The Foxes are clearly in survival mode as they head to Molineux.
Key Player to Watch
Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester City)
The Nigerian defensive midfielder will be crucial if Leicester are to compete. Ndidi’s ability to disrupt Wolves’ rhythm and regain possession will be central to his team’s hopes. A dominant performance from him could tilt the balance—if Leicester can capitalize.
