Wolves – Manchester City: Initial situation
Manchester City trails Liverpool for the top spot in the Premier League by one point which is exactly how many Wolves have by their name. It seems like they are destined for relegation this season and it is pretty unlikely that this game will change anything about it.
Wolves Stats & Form
Wolves have a terrible season being stuck at the bottom of the league with only one point in seven games. They could have blamed the schedule after the first two rounds when they lost to Chelsea and Arsenal, but there are no excuses for the last five consecutive losses in all competitions, allowing at least two goals in each of those games. Manager Gary O’Neil is on a hot seat and will most likely be the first one to be sacked in the Premier League this season. They are by far the worst defensive team in the league allowing three goals per game on average. Matheus Cunha is the only bright spot on the team with three goals this season.
Manchester City Stats & Form
It’s been a while since Manchester City got on the throne of English football and Pep Guardiola’s team does not plan to get anywhere any time soon. “The Sky Blues” are not as dominant at the beginning of the season and currently trail one point to Liverpool. Both draws came in the last four rounds of the Premier League and City is going to Wolverhampton following a 3-2 win over Fulham. They are the best offensive team in the league scoring 17 goals so far in the season and Erling Haaland leads all scorers with ten goals by his name. Mateo Kovacic has taken the leading role in the midfield following Kevin de Bruyne’s injury and scored a pair of goals in the last one against Fulham.

Betting tip and prediction: Wolves – Manchester City (20.10.2024)
Manchester City is on top of the football world, holding the championship trophies both in the Premier League and the Champions League. Even though they trail to Liverpool by a point at the moment, there is no doubt that Pep Guardiola and his team have full control of the football affairs in England. City won five of seven games so far in the season, with only draws coming against Arsenal at home and Newcastle on the road. They also slipped against Inter in the Champions League, which gives the match against Sparta Prague on Wednesday importance. Before that, “The Sky Blues” are going to Wolverhampton, a place where they lost last season. Things look way different for the Wolves this year, as they are at the rock bottom of the league with only one point. Wolves have no long tradition of playing in the top tier of English football, and after six consecutive seasons in the Premier League, this may be the year when they will get relegated. Currently, they are on a five-game losing streak, and Wolves manager can only hope for a miracle for his team to stay undefeated in this game. Gary O’Neil will not be able to count on Craig Dawson and Yerson Mosquera, but even if they were available, that wouldn’t change anything. Rodri, Kevin de Bruyne, and Nathan Ake will not play for City, which is a problem long-term. However, City dropped a pair of games so far in the season and cannot afford any more mistakes, especially not against teams from the bottom. They will show up ready and get the job done by winning with at least a two-goal margin.
