The 3rd round of the FA Cup starts this weekend and Saturday’s fixtures feature the clash between Wolves and Manchester United as the betting tips continue at Molineux.
Wolves Prediction – Can Wolves inflict defeat upon rivals?
It looks like being a three-horse race for 5th place in the Premier League and two of these three teams will meet at Molineux in the third round of the FA Cup with Wolves playing host to Manchester united, a team that the home side have beaten in 2 of their last 3 meetings.
Indeed, Wolves are actually unbeaten in their past 4 meetings against Manchester United since the west midlands club returned to the top flight and this most recent reincarnation have secured two 2-1 home wins against United in both the Premier League and last season’s FA Cup as well.
Recent results have produced a mixed bag though for Wolves as they’ve registered wins against Norwich City 2-1 and Manchester City 3-2 but they’ve also fallen to defeats against Tottenham, Liverpool and most disappointing of all, Watford.
Form at Molineux though continues to be solid as the west midlands club have lost just 1 of their last 10 matches overall in all competitions, which was a 2-1 loss to Tottenham, but 7 wins from these 10 matches will give Wolves plenty of belief ahead of this clash against United.
Manchester United Prediction – Can United respond against Wolves?
A disappointing 2-0 defeat away at Arsenal underlines the problems that Manchester United have had with regards to putting together results on a consistent basis in this season’s Premier League as the Red Devils failed to win three on the trot in the top flight at the Emirates Stadium.
Just when you though United had finally clicked into gear by recording back-to-back wins against Newcastle United 4-1 and Burnley 2-0, the visitors then slip up against a previously struggling Arsenal outfit, so this trip to face Wolves hold plenty of questions about United’s form at Molineux.
Results away from home have also been sketchy from United as they’ve registered wins at nearby neighbours Manchester City and also Burnley but these have been offset by defeats at Bournemouth, Watford and Arsenal in the Premier League along with a loss at Astana in the Europa League.
Indeed, United have registered just 2 away wins out of their last 7 matches in all competitions and they could be up against it when they make their way to the west midlands for this Saturday evening cup-tie against Wolves.
