Wolves v Man Utd

Wolves vs Manchester United Preview

Wolves bounced back from four previous defeats on the trot in emphatic fashion in the Premier League on the weekend when the west midlands club registered a comprehensive 3-0 win away from home at Leicester City which has closed the gap on fourth from bottom Leicester by just a two-point margin.

Manchester United slipped to a third loss in their last four games in the English top flight when the Red Devils suffered a humiliating 3-0 loss at home to high-flying Bournemouth on the weekend, leaving Manchester United wallowing in a disappointing 13th place in the table.

Wolves had previously slumped to four defeats on the trot in the domestic top flight after being dealt losses by Bournemouth, Everton, West Ham and Ipswich Town respectively which consigned the west midlands to a place in the relegation zone ahead of this Boxing Day clash at Molineux.

The recent win away at Leicester City became only their third win of this current Premier League campaign having previously collected wins against Southampton and Fulham but 11 defeats within their 17 games played to date suggests the west midlands club may struggle to build upon that recent rare win on Boxing Day.

If new Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim wasn't aware of the problems he faced at the helm of the Red Devils then the Portuguese manager will now be under no illusions as he watched his side falter to a third defeat in four games after being humbled 3-0 at home to Bournemouth on the weekend.

Previous losses at the hands of Arsenal and Nottingham Forest have overshadowed United's comeback win against their neighbouring rivals Manchester City and also casts doubt as to whether Manchester United can bounce back with all three points in the west midlands on Boxing Day.

The visitors also possess a poor record on the road by their standards in recent times as Ruben Amorim's side have managed to collect just three wins from their previous 14 outings on the road along with being dealt six defeats within this period as well.

However, despite this obvious and alarming decline in form overall in the domestic top flight, three away wins should still outweigh a generally poor performing Wolves outfit even with home advantage at Molineux supposedly on their side.

Wolves v Manchester United Verdict

Four out of Manchester United's eight away games played so far this season in the English top flight have resulted in Under 2.5 goals, while the straight win markets look even more appealing for this upcoming Boxing Day encounter at Molineux especially as Manchester United have won the last four meetings on the trot against their west midlands hosts.

A narrow 1-0 win for United looks to be on the cards here.

Therefore, our main bet will be Manchester Utd win @ 1.90

Other side bets worth considering:
