Analysis:

Comp Soccer pick from Doc’s Sports for Saturday: EPL Take Wolverhampton -185 over Leicester City (10 a.m. EST, Saturday April 26) We don’t mind laying the juice here and a -1.5 bet might not be a bad idea either, as Wolverhampton is in their best form of the season right now and should be extremely confident coming into this one against relegation-bound Leicester after a 1-0 road win over Manchester United last time out. That win secured their place in the Premier League next season and this team has been playing extremely well recently, with five straight wins. Leicester have nothing to play for as they will be relegated, and they have picked up only a single point in their last 10 matches. Wolverhampton seem to be building something special for the future, and we just don’t see them letting up here against an inferior opponent. Last meeting, in December, at King Power Stadium, Wolverhampton cruised to a 3-0 road win, with three goals in the first half. They could have had more but took their foot off the gas. We see a similar dominant performance here, and we had this line handicapped at -225, so there is value on the moneyline despite the high juice. Wolverhampton is not a public team, and that is keeping this line reasonable. Read More Read Less
