Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Sunday’s football game between Wolverhampton and Leicester City will bring down the curtain on day 26 of the current Premier League campaign. The Wolves aim to build on a 2-0 win over Tottenham, and they are surely capable of matching the out-of-sorts Foxes in front of home fans. Raul Jimenez proved his worth in the last league match, meaning that the opposition defenders should have him at bay.
Neto, Mosquera, and Boly remain in the recovery room, while Moutinho is a major doubt. Brendan Rodgers’ men, on the other hand, continue life without injured striker Jamie Vardy. Since all Evans, Fofana, Bertrand, and Castagne remain in the recovery room as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Wolves. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last five meetings in the Premier League.
Highlighted Player (Raul Jimenez):
Argentine forward Raul Jimenez began his career within the youth ranks of Club America, a club he went on to play 102 matches in all competitions and score 39 goals for before his 2014 move to Atletico Madrid. Despite signing a six-year deal with La Liga outfit in a reported transfer fee worth €11 million, Raul Jimenez never really managed to get his foot on the ground with the Colchineros.
After only 21 games and one goal for Atletico Madrid, the Mexico international moved to Portugal after his collapsed loan move to West Ham. Raul Jimenez missed the flight to London after reportedly oversleeping, but various reports suggest that he was advised by his agent Jorge Mendes to choose Benfica instead.
Portuguese giants initially acquired 50% of the player’s economic rights, while the remaining share of Jimenez’s contract was purchased in the summer of 2016 for a fee believed to be around €12 million. During his maiden season with the Eagles Mexico international played 28 Primeira Liga games, contributing with five goals during the process.
