Wolves v Manchester City betting odds, tips and preview – 23.04.12

Relaxed City reaping benefits of Tevez and Aguero partnership

Premier League Betting

Online bookmaker Paddy Power will be hoping that Wolves v Manchester City betting doesn’t produce the goal-fest that is suggests. The popular online bookie are covering the match with a Money Back special, as the league’s bottom side takes on the title challengers. Wolves need a miracle to not be playing Championship football next season, with just one point earned from their last eight Premier League matches, and a defence full of holes, will they be in for a long afternoon against City on Sunday? City are really benefiting from the return of Carlos Tevez at the moment, as he has partnered up with Sergio Aguero to devastating effect, the two of them producing four goals each in City’s last two league matches. So the balance of power will be all with the visitors on Sunday, and they have all the star power to produce.

If there are four or more goals scored in the game, then Paddy Power will refund any losing stakes placed on the First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, correct Score and score-cast markets. So the Paddy Power Wolves v Manchester City betting promotion gives you a great bit of coverage. In the First Goalscorer market for example, Sergio Aguero and Carlos Tevez are 3/1 joint favourites to get on the score-sheet first. City beat Wolves 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium earlier in the season, and a comfortable Correct Score 2-0 win for City at Molineux is trading at 6/1. So there is great value around in the markets covered by the Paddy Power Money Back Special.

Paddy Power offer a free £50 bet for new customers registering an account with them. The bookie will match the value of your first stake on a new account with a free bet, up to the maximum value of £50. This gives new customers a great bit of free cash to get started with!

Three Premier League matches Sergio Aguero and Carlos Tevez have started together this season, and in those three matches they have produced eleven goals between them. If only Tevez had been around for the rest of the season, if may have been United chasing City at this point. However, City trail leaders United by five points heading into this match, and while the title looks to realistically have gone, all they can do is keep winning. Should United slip up at any point over the last four matches, City have to be in a position to take advantage. Including in the big Manchester derby at the end of the month. Roberto Mancini’s men looked a down-trodden lot when they left the field after a 1-0 defeat at Arsenal on April 8th. They looked a spent force, knowing that their title chances had slipped through their fingers.

However, what that result did seem to do, is wake City up. The big bubble of pressure and expectation surrounding them has burst and they fell back into their confident swagger, the one they had at the start of the season. After three matches without a win, culminating in the defeat at Arsenal, City, without pressure on them, produced two fantastic performances. They beat West Brom 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium and them demolished Norwich at Carrow Road last weekend 6-1. Carlos Tevez netted a hat-trick in that match, and both he and Sergio Aguero have four goals in two games, and both are worth looking at in the goalscorer markets without doubt. Ten goals in two matches signals a real return to form for Manchester City, and it just goes to show how much pressure a title challenge does effect results. That is why the experience of Manchester United has won out against this season.

As for Wolves, they are rooted to the bottom of the league, and realistically ten points from safety. They would need nine points just to pull level with 17th placed QPR, but Wolves have a horrendous goal difference, so they would need an extra point. So Wolves getting safe would be dependent on them winning three and drawing one of their last four matches, and hoping that QPR don’t pick up any more points. It is clearly not going to happen, so Wolves, for all intents and purposes are down. How much are they regretting the sacking of Mick McCarthy now? Wolves have be pretty woeful at the back, and they could be fodder for Manchester City if the Citizens are in the mood. Wolves have conceded 22 goals in their last eight matches, and have scored four. There is the big problem with them all summed up, and event a point seems like a distant dream for them at the moment.
