Leeds take on the visitors Wolverhampton in the round 1 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, August 6th at Elland Road (Leeds).
Leeds is no longer a Bielsa team, but this season will also be interesting. The "White" long and depressingly hung out in the Championship, despite all their legend and popularity. Only Bielsa could wake up this ambitious football swamp. The Argentine "Crazy" lifted (from the 2nd attempt) and even kept the project in the Premier League. But, with all his experience, he did not convince that he would completely cope with the "syndrome of the 2nd season": the team was constantly either in the relegation zone or near it. As a result, the nerves of the leadership of the “whites” could not stand it, and the legendary mentor was replaced by Jesse Marsh. He failed in RB Leipzig in the autumn, but in England he coped with the first task. Now the team needs to add, but do it without the sold leaders, Phillips and Rafinha. The money received was enough to buy Aaronsohn and Christensen from Salzburg, Adams and Rock from Bundesliga clubs, as well as Gyabi from the City youth team.

Wolverhampton not particularly felt the change of mentor. The Wolves are sometimes referred to as Porthampton for the role played by players and managers from a clear nationality in the club at its current stage. Nuno Espirito Santo lifted the project from the Championship to the playoffs of the Europa League. When it became clear that cooperation with him had exhausted both parties, the Portuguese was replaced by his countryman, Bruno Lage. For some time after this change, the Wolves were among the European contenders, but eventually finished in 10th place. Yes, and scored again 50+ points. In general, not a top, but quite a decent season in their performance. It is curious that this time they decided not to change the composition, picking up only Collins from Burnley and redeeming Hwang.
Wolverhampton had 5 wins in head-to-heads in a row. But last season Leeds did better, taking 4 points in head-to-head meetings. Leeds as the host are seen as the favourites. But it is clear that Wolverhampton's defenses are traditionally difficult to crack. We are expecting "less than 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
