Wolves will be licking their lips with anticipation this weekend as they welcome a Leicester side that has yet to pick up a point on the road to Molineux for a derby match that will be fiercely contested.

The bookies are offering the home side at the best price of 17/11 with 118Bet, whilst the visitors can be found at 15/8 with Blue Square. If you fancy the draw, you can grab 23/10 with Paddy Power.

These two sides were amongst two of the favourites at the start of the season, but have both struggled to get to grips with the pace of the Championship so far this season, and with the pair of them knowing they need to get in gear quickly before they are left chasing as the fixtures begin to come in thick and fast. Wolves have struggled since their big money double departure of Steven Fletcher and Matt Jarvis, yet despite this loss of attacking prowess they have managed five goals in their four league matches so far this season. Leicester have also found the net the same number of teams in as many games, but have conceded one less than Wolves so far. With this in mind I think backing both teams to score at 4/6 with Bet365 (sign up here for a free £200).

A long awaited derby often comes with tension, and with both sides desperate to claim the points as well as the bragging rights I think the bet of a penalty to be scored at 11/4 with Paddy Power is a solid bet, and with the match being televised the focus on the any major decision will be even greater for the referee charged with the game. If you’re looking at this bet, you might also want to know that Leicester to score a penalty is worth a punt as they have been given odds of 8/1 with Blue Square (get a free £25 bet now).

When looking at first goalscorer, I’d be very surprised if the generally slow to start Leicester who haven’t scored a goal before the 45 minute mark this season netted first, so I’d look to the Wolves front line to score, and it is hard to look past Sylvain Ebanks-Blake at 13/2 with Bet365, when as he has shown himself to be so many times in the past a player who seems far more suited to the Championship than the Premier League and I expect him to be a prolific scorer throughout the season if Wolves are to lead any sort of promotion tilt.
