Manchester Utd vs Wolves prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-04-19 13:00.
[p]Dramatic comebacks are woven into Manchester United’s DNA, but even the wildest optimist inside Old Trafford would’ve struggled to foresee the chaos that unfolded on Thursday night. Many fans headed for the exit when they went 4-2 down to Lyon in extra-time, but the Red Devils rose from nowhere to advance to the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League by becoming the first side to score two goals in the 120th minute or later of a major European match.[/p]
[p]How Ruben Amorim’s players recover both mentally and physically from that rollercoaster could determine the outcome of this clash with Wolves. United are sure to prioritise Europe given that they are guaranteed their worst-ever points tally in the Premier League era this term, but just one defeat from the last 13 league H2Hs at Old Trafford suggests they may have enough to see off the Old Gold (W9, D3).[/p]
[p]Wolves journey north on the back of their best top-flight winning run since January 1972 (W4), and their survival can be mathematically confirmed with a win here should Ipswich lose to Arsenal on Sunday. VĂtor Pereira has overseen a tremendous turnaround in his side’s fortunes, best illustrated by the fact they trailed United by 13 points when he was appointed, yet a win here would draw them level with the Red Devils![/p]
[p]Pereira’s second game in charge of the club was a 2-0 win over United on Boxing Day, so Wolves could now complete a H2H league double for the first time since 1979/80. The visitors will perhaps be quietly confident of doing so having earned more of their points this term on the road than at home (18/35), while they’ve also won three successive away league matches, all by a one-goal margin. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Kobbie Mainoo kickstarted the bedlam on Thursday with a 120th-minute equaliser, but that wasn’t his first dramatic late goal – that came in the form of a 97th-minute winner in a 4-3 victory over Wolves in February 2024. Matheus Cunha returned to the Wolves fold last week with his 14th league goal of the season and one more would see him become just the third Brazilian in Premier League history to reach 15 in a single campaign.[/p]
[p]Hot streak: Manchester United have won all four of their home league games played on Easter Sunday.[/p]
