Match Prediction- Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh, 1st T20I, Betting Tips and Match Prediction
Since Jesse Marsch replaced Marcelo Bielsa as Leeds boss, the American has divided opinion, particularly when his side were on the brink of losing four successive games during the run-in. However, Pascal Struijk’s last-gasp equaliser against Brighton & Hove Albion and the 2-1 triumph at Brentford which followed put a positive spin on Marsch’s short tenure, freeing up the Yorkshire giants to make widespread changes during the summer.
Naturally, losing the likes of Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha is regarded as a blow in most quarters, but the funds generated from their sales has allowed Marsch to build a team, rather than being heavily reliant on a couple of star men. The new faces which have arrived at Elland Road have plenty to prove, but that is exactly what Marsch would want. As soon as Phillips and Raphinha were ready for fresh challenges, Marsch needed to get players through the door who were ready to enhance the club’s standing in what will be an increasingly competitive season.
Meslier; Struijk, Koch, Llorente, Kristensen; Roca, Adams; Aaronson, Rodrigo, Harrison; Bamford
From Wolves’ perspective, they enter the new season needing to rediscover some momentum after failing to win any of their remaining seven games in 2021-22. As well as missing out on Europa Conference League football, Bruno Lage’s team dropped down to 10th position, a hugely disappointing finish after once being in contention for the Champions League.
Lage has used pre-season to switch to a back four, incorporating new arrival Nathan Collins, but a knee injury to Raul Jimenez has left Wolves short in attack for the opening weeks of the campaign. With a number of games that they would consider to be favourable coming during that period, it is far from ideal, and Lage is left to rely on Morgan Gibbs-White bringing a freshness to their work in the final third.
Sa; Jonny, Collins, Kilman, Ait-Nouri; Neves, Moutinho, Dendoncker; Gibbs-White, Podence, Neto
While both managers will be satisfied with how their respective pre-seasons played out, we can see only one winner at the weekend. Without a recognised centre-forward in their squad, Wolves would take a draw if it was handed to them right now, but Leeds should have enough quality and enthusiasm to run out comfortable victors.
Leeds United have been impressive under Jesse Marsch so far and will need to make amends for their poor finish last season. The hosts narrowly escaped relegation this year and will need to make the most of their revamped squad. Wolverhampton Wanderers have flattered to deceive this year and have plenty of work to do this season. Leeds United are in better shape at the moment and should be able to win this game.
Leeds United 2-0 Wolves, as predicted by us.
