Wolves vs Manchester Utd prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-12-25 17:30.
[p]New Wolves boss VĂtor Pereira enjoyed a âfantasticâ start to life at the helm, guiding his new side to an emphatic 3-0 win over Leicester on Sunday. That brought the Premier League strugglers to within two points of safety and ended a four-match losing streak, but he may well need to rely on the ânew manager bounceâ once more against Manchester United given the Old Goldâs poor recent H2H record (W1, D3, L8).[/p]
[p]Confidence could well be high for the first time this season in spite of Wolvesâ miserable return of four points from their eight home league games this term (W1, D1, L6). That sole victory came against bottom-of-the-table Southampton, while the 20 goals theyâve conceded at Molineux is a tally only topped by the Saints, so the prospect of keeping back-to-back league clean sheets for the first time since January appears unlikely.[/p]
[p]Predicting the outcome of a Manchester United match under Ruben Amorim is also a perilous task, as their last eight matches have produced four wins and four losses! Each of those came in streaks of two, with the Red Devilsâ Christmas turkey no doubt tasting sour after they were thrashed 3-0 by Bournemouth at Old Trafford for the second consecutive December.[/p]
[p]Amorim confessed that âeverything is so hardâ for his team at the moment, best illustrated by the fact theyâll spend Christmas in the bottom half of the table for the first time since 1989/90. Reasons for optimism may appear slim, but after their rousing 2-1 win at Manchester City recently, United could win back-to-back away league games for the first time since February, and enter as favourites thanks to their active four-match winning streak at Molineux.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Wolves marksman Matheus Cunha may finally have some assistance, as Gonçalo Guedes has now directly contributed to six goals in his last eight appearances (G2, A4), two of which came against Leicester (G1, A1). After United failed to score for the sixth time in the Premier League on Sunday, Rasmus HĂžjlund is primed to return to the starting XI, especially considering that he scored and assisted inside 22 minutes in last seasonâs corresponding fixture.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Since Wolvesâ top-flight return in 2018, just one of the 15 H2Hs across any competition was decided by more than a one-goal margin.[/p]
