Patrick Bamford fancied to net at Molineux and Leeds United predicted to stay above Wolves

Wolves have finished seventh for the last two seasons but are currently two points and one place below 11th-placed Leeds, and having played a game more.

The outright betting market for tonight's contest is consequently reasonably close with Wolves shading favouritism at a best priced 13-9.

Leeds can be backed at 23-10 whereas the draw is on offer at 5-2 but some firms have Leeds and Wolves closer together in the outright win market.

Wolves are still out without talisman striker Raul Jimenez even though the Mexican has returned to training and United's no 9 Bamford is favourite to score first at 27-5 and 19-10 as an any time scorer.

The home side's Fabio Silva is second favourite to score first at 13-2, just ahead of January recruit Willian Jose who is 33-5.

Wolves forward Pedro Neto is then 38-5 and young Whites duo Sam Greenwood and Joe Gelhardt are then once again high up in the market and both 8s to open the scoring.

Thereafter, no goalscorer is surprisingly short at 10-1 and smaller odds than the likes of Raphinha (21-2), Tyler Roberts (21-2), Adama Traore (11s), Jack Harrison (12s) or Ruben Neves (25-2) netting first.

Helder Costa is 13-1 to score first against his former club and the same price as Pablo Hernandez whilst United's Mateusz Klich is on offer at 16s.

United's Stuart Dallas and Wolves ace Joao Moutinho are also very big odds at 25-1 to score first and around 10s as any time scorers but one way or the other the bookies expect a close game.

A 1-1 draw is favourite in the correct score market at 13-2, followed by both a 1-0 triumph for Wolves at 10s and a 2-1 success for the hosts at 21-2.

Leeds are 11-1 to oblige 1-0 and 23-2 to leave with a 2-1 victory.

Longer term, United are more fancied of the two to seal a top half finish with Leeds 2-1 to finish in the top ten and Wolves as big as 5s.

The Molineux outfit are 125-1 to go down but Leeds are double that at 250s.
