Wolves at Manchester United FC 1/3/22 - Premier League Picks & Predictions
Manchester United did a great job in their match against Burnley and they have found some stability lately. They will now remain at home for their next assignment, where they will play host to Wolves on Monday. Wolves are in bad shape right now and they also have a LOT of absent players due to injuries and COVID.
Manchester United (9-5-4) are coming into this match after an easy 3-1 home win over Burnley. They took an early lead with McTominay and they were already leading by 3 goals at the 35th minute. Burnley scored at the 38th but the second half was rather empty. Manchester United are now unbeaten in their last 8 matches in all competitions (5-0-3), keeping 3 clean sheets and scoring 2+ goals in just 3 of those. They are sitting at the 7th spot of the Premier League with 31 points, but with two matches in hand. United have a 5-3-1 record at home this season, scoring 17 and conceding 14 goals in the process.
Wolves (7-7-4) haven’t played a single match since December 19th, when they played for a goal-less draw at home against Chelsea. It was a very quiet match, with just two shots on target by the two teams combined. Wolves have not been in the best of shapes lately, winning just 1 of their last 6 (1-2-3), failing to score in 5 of those matches. They are now sitting at the 9th spot of the league table with 25 points, scoring just 13 goals but conceding just 14 in the process. Wolves have a 4-3-2 record in the road, scoring 8 and conceding 7 goals.
Manchester United beat Wolves by a slim 1-0 on the road earlier in the season, and last season they also won both matches by exactly one goal (1-0 and 2-1). Wolves have never won in this venue in recent years (0-8-2), and each of the last 4 matches here had Under 2.5 Goals. Taking the Under 2.5 Goals again here.
