Wolves v Leicester

Here is the first of our best January 19 Premier League betting tips – Wolves v Leicester. It has already been a successful season for Wolves back in the Premier League. If they are able to beat the drop – which they look well on their way to doing – they’ll achieve their main aim for the campaign with plenty to spare. It would come as no surprise if the board gathered around the table as the dust settled on a hectic festive period and put forward their hopes for a top-half finish; this is another achievement that is well within their capabilities, with a record of 8-5-8 placing them 11^th in the pile, a point behind Everton in 10^th.

Wanderers have managed just one win from their last four starts, however, with their form during that spell also showing two defeats and a draw going into the week. They faced a tough match with champions Manchester City on Monday night and that would’ve taken its toll on their legs. Wolves finished 2018 with a stunning 3-1 win over Spurs at Wembley; however, they followed that upset with a 2-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace and those two results alone sum up what it feels like to be a fan. The club booked their place in the next round of the FA Cup thanks to a 2-1 win over a weakened Liverpool on 7 January, Jimenez and Neves scoring the goals that mattered.

Pushing for Prizes

Leicester City is three places higher in the current league table than their opponents with two more points on the board. The Foxes have won nine and drawn four of their 22 games so far and have every chance of pushing for the prizes with Watford in seventh currently just a point ahead. Leicester started the year with a vital 1-0 away win over Everton at Goodison Park on 1 January; however, they were then knocked out of the FA Cup when beaten by lowly Newport County on the road. This 2-1 defeat was enough to seal the biggest giant-killing of the weekend.

That was also the score when again losing to Southampton last time out in a match they were expected to take maximum points from, given how poor The Saints have been this season. Ndidi hit the net just before the hour; however, that goal did nothing to stop the victors who claimed all three points through Ward-Prowse and a Long winner. Claude Puel told members of the press at full-time he understands the fans’ frustrations; however, he was confident he could work with the players and help them achieve what they are capable of.

Home Win Favourite

This promises to be a thrilling encounter as it would come as no surprise to see either side win the match. It’s a real 50/50. Wolves are favourites with bookmakers as we approach kick-off with 6/5 available at Bet365 on the locals claiming all three points. The draw has been scratched up as the next most likely outcome at 23/10 – top price with the same firm – and those after an away win will love the fact there’s 12/5 going on Leicester with most bookmakers, including Ladbrokes.

Both teams have scored in each of Leicester’s last two starts and we’re confident both will get themselves on the scoresheet in what should be an interesting 90 minutes. Take both teams to score as your main bet at a handy 13/12 with Unibet – top price at the time of writing. That will do a job in your weekend accumulators and we expect it to be settled as a winner well before the finish.
