Wolves vs Manchester City Live Stats & Betting Odds
Wolves Prediction – Can Wolves reduce deficit on top four?
Wolves head into Friday night’s encounter against 3rd placed Manchester City 5 points behind 4th placed Chelsea at the time of writing, but they’ll be in confident mood and will have nothing to fear when they take on their visitors at Molineux.
The hosts bounced back from a disappointing 2-1 defeat at home to Tottenham in their previous match by recording a 2-1 win away from home at strugglers Norwich City last weekend to get back on track for a possible top five finish.
Wolves have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 13 matches in the Premier League and it’s this solid run of results which once again sees Wolves amongst the serious challengers for European football next season as the west midlands club occupy 6th place but are just 1 point adrift of surprise package, Sheffield United.
The recent 2-1 loss to Tottenham was only Wolves’s second defeat on home turf this season amidst a stubborn record of 3-4-2 13/12 and they’ve lost by 2 goals or more in just 1 of their 9 home matches to date (5-2 v Chelsea).
Manchester City Prediction – Can Man City avenge earlier defeat?
A 2-0 loss at their Etihad Stadium to Friday night’s opponents, Wolves, undoubtedly contributed to City’s decline this season in the Premier League and played a part in dashing City’s hopes of earning another league title this term.
Manchester City will therefore be seeking to avenge that earlier loss to Wolves when they make their way to Molineux for this important upcoming clash, and having won 3 of their last 4 matches overall in the top flight, Manchester City will also be in reasonably confident mood.
Recent wins against Burnley 4-1 away, Arsenal 3-0 away and last weekend’s 3-1 home win against 2nd placed Leicester City has seen City’s ruthless side but they also suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Manchester United in the local derby as well.
On the road, City possess an away record of 6-1-2 25/11 but an early season loss at Norwich City along with defeat at title rivals Liverpool have all but finished off the visitors’ title hopes. In recent times, City have beaten Wolves by 2+ goals just once in their last 5 meetings overall.
Key-Facts – Wolves vs Manchester City
- Wolves have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 13 matches in the EPL
- Man City have won 3 of their last 4 matches overall in the Premier League
- Wolves won the last encounter v Manchester City 2-0 away back in October
Betting Tips Verdict
Wolves have proved to be a consistent outfit under manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, and they should be able to keep things tight against Manchester City here.
