Brendan Rodgers will be hoping his first full season as Leicester City coach gets underway in the best way possible when his side takes on Wolves at the King Power Stadium.
August 10th1934. What a date to remember. The penultimate day of the Women’s World Games, the day Babe Ruth announced his retirement and most importantly of all, this was the last time that Leicester City and Wolverhampton met on the opening matchday of a league season.
Back then, the game finished 1-1 and later, the Foxes endured relegation from the top flight.
In more recent times, let’s say January 2019, was the last time these two sides met. On that day it was Wolves who came out on top as Diogo Jota’s hat-trick helped his side to claim a hugely entertaining 4-3 victory.
Entertainment is certainly what many fans have come to expect from these two sides and many more will be hoping for the same come August 10th.
Looking at the odds, the bookmakers are marginally favouring the home side. However, with the season that Wolves enjoyed last season, it’s hard to go against them.
Therefore the recommendation is to back over 2.5 goals. Previous encounters have provided the spectators with plenty of them over the years and there’s no reason why we couldn’t see a repeat of that.
