Premier League, played Thursday, February 1st, 2024
Here is our Wolves v Man Utd tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to score in this game, under 2.5 goals, and a tie. Our confidence in this pick was moderate relative to other picks.
Wolves extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to four games last time out with a 0-0 draw away from home at Brighton which helped Wolves maintain their mid-table position in the English top flight standings, while Manchester United were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Tottenham which resulted with the Red Devils dropping down to eighth place in the table.
Wolves had previously gathered league wins against Chelsea, Brentford and Everton in 2-1, 4-1 and 3-0 victories respectively, while the bigger picture shows the west midlands club have been handed just four defeats out of their last 16 matches overall, all of which have been inflicted upon Gary O'Neill's side on their travels whilst the hosts have also registered seven wins within this period as well.
However, the goals market looks the most appealing of all the possible outcomes ahead of this upcoming clash with Manchester United especially the prospect of goals for both sides as no fewer than 12 of Wolves' last 16 games have resulted with both teams hitting the back of the net.
The hosts are also unbeaten in their last eight home games at Molineux which consists of five wins and three draws while both teams have scored in six of these eight home games as well.
Manchester United's disappointing recent sequence of results in the Premier League continued last time out with a 2-2 draw at home with Tottenham which now makes it just one win from their previous six games overall under manager, Erik ten Hag, as the Red Devils have dropped down to eighth place in the Premier League table.
Three defeats within these six games have seen Manchester United slip to losses at the hands of Bournemouth, West Ham and Nottingham Forest respectively while three of these previous six games have also resulted in both teams scoring as well.
Overall, it's been a frustrating campaign for ten Hag's Manchester United side as the visitors have won 10, drawn twice and lost nine of their total of 21 games played to date this term and results away from home have also continued along the same vein as the visitors have managed to capture just four wins from their previous 10 outings on their travels.
Four wins registered against Burnley, Sheffield United, Fulham and Everton have been outweighed by five defeats in the process as well, so perhaps this suggests that the goals market may represent a more favourable chance of coming to fruition in this upcoming fixture.
Wolves v Manchester United Verdict
Only three points separate 12th placed Wolves from their eighth placed visitors Manchester United ahead of Thursday night's clash at Molineux and both sides look to be fairly vulnerable at the back with the prospect of both teams scoring being a real possibility.
