Manchester Utd vs Wolves Prediction & Betting tips
Because Liverpool did not play on Boxing Day, but could at the same time watch how the two toughest pursuers in the Premier League table shared the points in a direct duel, the Reds were not considered the winners of the Christmas games for nothing. This has already changed, however, because the Klopp-Elf did not get more than a 1-1 draw at home against relegation candidate West Brom on Sunday and thus missed the expansion of the top position.
Again just two days later, the Red Devils now have the chance to move up to within two points of the reigning champions. The prerequisite for this is that a forecast of the home win between Manchester United and Wolverhampton pays off on Tuesday evening.
It will be important that coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team build on the latest performances at the home stadium. The fourth-placed team recently picked up seven out of a possible nine points at Old Trafford and was much stronger than at the beginning of the season, when there wasn’t much convergence at home.
The bottom line is that United have been unbeaten in eight league games and on Tuesday also benefited from the fact that the Wolves had one day less time to regenerate and prepare for the game.
Manchester United :
Manchester United took the lead twice in an away game at Leicester City on Boxing Day. Both times, however, the Foxes came back and ultimately fought for a 2-2 draw. The Red Devils not only missed the continuation of their impressive winning streak, which has now lasted ten guest appearances, but also failed to climb further up the tableau.
Nevertheless, the Solskjaer-Elf remained in the Premier League for the eighth time in a row without defeat and with six wins and two draws in this period they are still one of the hottest teams in England’s top football league.
The offensive yield is also remarkable, because with the exception of the 0-0 in the derby against Manchester City, Rashford and Co. have met at least twice in all national matches since the end of November. In total, it was even their 17 hits in six games, so almost three per game. In the last three matches alone, eleven goals were scored, seven of which were scored in the first round.
In general, we think it makes sense to bet on a home win for the Red Devils. In addition to the current good form, the improved performances in their own stadium speak for fourth place. After a catastrophic start with only one point from the first four home games, United recently posted seven of a possible nine points in the “Theater of Dreams”. At the latest with the 6-2 win against Leeds United, the proverbial knot could have burst.
The higher quality, the better shape and, last but not least, the one additional day of regeneration compared to the upcoming opponent prompted us to predict the favorite win between Manchester United and Wolverhampton. With Lindelöf and Wan-Bissaka, two defenders are still threatened with default; Tuanzebe would stand by as a substitute in the defense. At the front, Cavani could be rewarded with a starting eleven for his again good joker performance.
Wolverhampton:
While the Wolverhampton Wanderers were able to dream of the Europa League for a long time last season, the mission “Qualification for international business” turns out to be even more difficult this season. After completing 15 match days, the Orange-Blacks are in eleventh place and are currently six points behind sixth.
The fact that the Portuguese-influenced Wolves cannot fully match the previous year’s performance can mainly be attributed to two factors. On the one hand, the team of coach Nuno Espirito Santo has already suffered six defeats and thus as many as Newcastle United (13th) or Brighton (16th).
On the other hand, the harmless offensive continues to cause headaches. With just 15 goals scored, the Wanderers are in the lower midfield in this category. The Santo-Elf, who still have to do without their best and most important attacker Raul Jimenez, have not achieved more than two goals in one game this season. In a foreign country, Wolverhampton even failed to score in three of seven matches.
Even if the team from the English West Midlands scored a point at home against Tottenham on Sunday thanks to a late goal and could even have scored a three with a more consistent exploitation of the chances, we do not trust the ranked player to win points away at Old Trafford.
This thesis is justified not least by the shorter regeneration time, because just 48 hours after the grueling Spurs match, the Wolves are again challenged against a top team. To make matters worse, in addition to the aforementioned Jimenez, Marcal, Boly, Otto and Dendoncker probably have to pass due to injuries.
