Wolves v Manchester United Predictions and Free Bet Tips
Wolves v Manchester United Match Preview
Wolves will be looking to build on their impressive victory over Leicester when they host an ailing Manchester United on Boxing Day evening.
Vitor Pereira took charge of his first Wolves game at the King Power Stadium last Sunday, and his long overdue arrival in England was well worth the wait.
The Portuguese coach, who replaced Gary O’Neil, had been contacted about the Everton job back in 2013 as well as holding talks with other Premier League clubs, but nothing materialised.
The new managerial bounce was evident as Wolves turned in one of their best displays of the season against the Foxes and they were clinical.
United, on the other hand, seem to lurch from one crisis to another, and Ruben Amorim is trying to ride out a tough spell in his managerial career.
Games over the years between Wolves and United have been quite tight, but will this clash follow the script? I have dived into the betting markets and plucked out a couple of tips to back up my Wolves v Manchester United predictions.
Vitor Pereira to sprinkle magic at Molineux
Although their position in the table (18th) remains perilous, Wolves are starting to feel a bit better about themselves and they have closed the gap on Leicester in 17th to two points.
At this moment in time, Leicester, Crystal Palace, and Everton are in danger of being sucked into a relegation battle as we fast approach the halfway point of the campaign.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Wolves aren’t exactly transformed, but they looked a more threatening attacking unit against Leicester, and Matheus Cunha, the club’s top scorer, capitalised on some shambolic defending.
United, on the other hand, are continuing to break all sorts of unwanted records and they aren’t going anywhere in a hurry.
Against Bournemouth last Sunday, they lost successive home games against the same opponent by a 3+ goal margin for only the second time in their history, with the other being Burnley in 1961 and 1962.
Wolves will look to find joy from set-pieces and United have conceded 17 from deadball situations in the Premier League in 2024, their most in a single calendar year excluding penalties.
Last season, United came out on top in a pulsating 4-3 win that ebbed and flowed. This time, I think Wolves will add to the Red Devils’ woes.
In terms of Wolves v Manchester United predictions, I’m all over Wolves to win but I like the one-goal early payout at Betano offer, therefore Wolves to go 1-0 up at any point in the game. That has a price of 6/5 tagged to it.
Wolves to clinch nailbiter
Wolves may well have felt aggrieved that they couldn’t hold on for a point against United last term.
Kobbie Mainoo scored a very last-gasp winner (97th minute) to send the travelling supporters into ecstasy, and while United beat City in the Manchester Derby, that proved to be a false dawn.
United (21) have netted six fewer than Wolves (27) this term in the league, but don’t expect this to be a soporific game.
I expect there to be plenty of goals, and for value, I’m going with Wolves to win and there to be Over 3.5 goals during the 90 minutes. Paddy Power has got on board with tasty odds of 17/2 for that outcome.
