Wolves v Manchester City Betting Tips [20 October 2024]

Struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers have a big match on Sunday as Premier League champions Manchester City visit the Molineux. The two sides are operating from the opposite ends of the league table. Wolves are bottom of the standings while The Cityzens start the weekend in second spot.

The last time Wolves hosted the champions, they bagged a 2-1 win. In their form this season, it will be a major coup if they can replicate anything close. From the opening seven league matches, Wolves managed just a point.

They have the poorest defence, after conceding 21 times. Facing the best scoring side at the moment won’t offer many guarantees. A positive for Wolves though, will be their scoring form. In their 5-3 loss to Brighton, they got to score for the eighth straight game.

Manchester City have had a shaky run in recent times and will hope to return with fresh focus after the international break. Their undefeated start to the campaign continues and going into this match it reads 11.

However, they failed to win in three of their last six matches. They dropped points in their last away league match, playing to a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United.

Having lost here on their last visit might send some jitters but City are expected to sail through unscathed. They had some uncomfortable moments at home in their 3-2 win over Fulham last time. Six league matches without a clean sheet shows they can also be picked out.

Manchester City will be favorites here and anything but a win will be a major upset. What will not be a surprise, however, is if they get to concede in the game. One of City’s weaknesses so far in the season has been their backline. In their first 11 matches, they managed just three clean sheets.

Meanwhile, as Wolves struggle, attack has come up as a strong department. They will want to make use of that even more as they play at home. Our prediction for Wolverhampton Wanderers v Manchester City is for Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score.
