Manchester City vs Wolves Prediction and Betting Tips

Manchester City face Wolves in a Premier League match at the Etihad Stadium this Friday.

Manchester City are currently in 4th place in the table, but with things so tight at the top, could really do with a win here. Wolves, meanwhile, have climbed to 13th and are in excellent form right now.

So which side will come out on top this Friday?

Manchester City vs Wolves Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Once considered one of Man City’s bogey teams, Wolves have not done so well against Pep Guardiola’s side recently. In fact, City have won eight of their last nine meetings with the Midlands side across all competitions.
• Manchester City are unbeaten in their last six Premier League games now after suffering a defeat to Nottingham Forest on March 8. They have won their last three matches in a row now, and their last ditch win over Aston Villa last week should be an ominous sign for their rivals.
• Wolves, though, are on the best run of form in the entire Premier League right now. They have won their last six matches in a row, although it is worth noting that despite beating Tottenham and Manchester United during this sequence, all six wins have come over sides in the current bottom seven.
• Despite all of their struggles this season, Manchester City are still the Premier League’s second-top scorers with a total of 66 goals to date. They have only failed to score in five of their league matches this season.
• Wolves’ recent improvement has clearly stemmed from an improved defensive structure. Only the bottom three – who have all been relegated – have conceded more than their total of 61. However, in their last seven matches, they have only let in five goals.

Manchester City vs Wolves Prediction

Given the strong form of both of these teams, this is a hard match to predict.

On one hand, Manchester City clearly need the points right now, with only four points separating them from Aston Villa in 7th, but only six separating them from Arsenal in 2nd.

On the other hand, though, Wolves are brimming with confidence right now on the back of six straight wins, have their best player in Matheus Cunha back, and Jorgen Strand Larsen is firing the goals in.

However, City will enjoy a home advantage here, and it must be noted that Wolves’ winning streak has come against weaker sides or sides out of form. With that considered, a narrow home win is the prediction.

Prediction: Manchester City 2-1 Wolves

A Sportskeeda ‘Feature Writer of the Month’ award winner, he ensures to conduct thorough research before writing his articles via various reputable sources, and writing in the most simplistic manner possible is one of his biggest strengths.

Scott first started watching football a six-year-old with family during the 1990 World Cup. His favorite team is Tottenham Hotspur and Harry Kane is his all-time favorite player. Of late, he has been admiring Cristian Romero for playing a passionate and fiery brand of football. His all-time favorite manager is Terry Venables for creating an England team he could be proud of since he started following football. Although, his current favorite is Ange Postecoglou.

Seeing Eric Dier score the winning penalty in the shootout for England against Colombia in the 2018 World Cup brought him to tears and is his most memorable moment in football.

If Scott could change a rule in football, he’d remove offside decisions from VAR as he believes that offside was not introduced to catch an attacker who is a matter of millimeters out. Outside of writing, he follows UFC, works out, spends time with his dog, and travels.
