Manchester United v Wolves Betting Tips – Premier League, 22nd September 3.00pm

Things seem to be much calmer around Old Trafford now after Manchester United have picked up back to back away wins against Burnley and Watford. So steady progress has been made and they get back to home soil on the weekend on the domestic front. Wolves have only been beaten once on their return to the top flight and they did pick up a fantastic point against United’s rivals Man City. Read our predictions for Manchester United v Wolves.

Manchester United News and Form

Things have been going a bit better for Manchester United who have eased pressure off of themselves with back to back league wins over Burnley and Watford. Those were tricky away games that they got through. It still hasn’t been overly convincing stuff, but the results are there. This is their first home game since they lost 3-0 at Old Trafford against Spurs at the end of August. They banked a 2-1 home win over Leicester in their other home game of the season.

The Red Devils have only managed the one clean sheet so far this season in the top flight, but even with that in mind, we see value in the Manchester United to win to nil option at 7/4 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 19th, 2018 at 6:42 p.m.). Aside from their blank against Tottenham, Manchester United have scored at least two goals in each of their other league games this season. Romelu Lukaku has had a good start to the season in front of goal for United. He is the first goalscorer favourite for this weekend’s fixture.

Wolves News and Form

Wolves can be really happy with their output so far on the return to the top flight. They have picked up just the one defeat in a W2 D2 L1 record. Their last two games have ended in a 1-0 wins for them, but they haven’t managed more than one goal in any of their last four games. In fact, they have returned just the three goals in their last four league matches. So the scoring power isn’t quite there and because of that we can see this one ending under 2.5 goals at 19/20 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 19th, 2018 at 6:42 p.m.).

Away from home in the Premier League this season, Wolves lost against Leicester and then picked up a good win at West Ham. At the back, considering that they are a newly promoted side they have done a pretty good too. The two goals that they have conceded on the road both came in the first half of matches so there is a small trend running there. Raul Jimenez has really looked sharp up front for them and he is the one really most likely to make a breakthrough for them if they were to net. But we see big appeal in the Manchester United 1-0 correct score option at 13/2 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 19th, 2018 at 6:42 p.m.).
