Manchester United vs Wolves Odds: Wolves to cause further frustrations for the Red Devils

Live on Sky Sports, Manchester United host Wolves in the premier league this Monday at Old Trafford at 5.30pm. The hosts will be looking for back to back wins in the league after they produced a solid performance to beat Burnley 3-1 in their last outing. That win extends Man United’s unbeaten run to eight matches in all competitions as they look to make the push towards the champions league spots. They are currently sitting 7th in the table with 31 points but have 2 games in hand over 4th placed Arsenal. United will be looking to make it 4 premier league home games in a row but will know Wolves will be a tough opposition to overcome.

The visitors sit 9th in the table with 25 points and have lost just twice in their last 7 premier league games with both losses by a single goal against high flying Manchester City & Liverpool. They were also impressive in their last outing against Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea where they had enough chances to come away with all 3 points. However, Manchester United have been dominant against Wolves in recent times, going unbeaten against them in their last seven head to head meetings in all competitions. United got the better of Wolves 1-0 in the reverse leg at the Molineux Stadium but that was an undeserved result on the balance of play. Wolves will be out to get revenge here and that could make this game a very entertaining affair.

An exciting clash awaits us and as usual, I have you covered with my 2 best betting angles for this game included in the preview below:

Team News:

Paul Pogba & Eric Bailly are out for Manchester United while Lindelof & Martial are doubtful.

Mosquera, Pedro Neto, Jonny & Hwang Hee-Chan are out for Wolves while Fabio Silva, Rayan Alt-Nouri & Willy Boly are doubtful.

Manchester United possible starting lineup:

De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Shaw; Greenwood, McTominay, Matic, Fernandes; Ronaldo, Cavani

Wolverhampton possible starting lineup:

Sa; Kilman, Coady, Saiss; Hoever, Neves, Moutinho, Marcal; Traore, Jimenez, Podence

There is no doubt that Manchester United’s performances have improved under Ralf Rangnick. However, Wolves have one of the best defences in the league having conceded just 14 goals in 18 league games and have lost just 1 game by 2+ goals out of their last 13 premier league fixtures. They have played top 3 sides City, Chelsea & Liverpool in this run and this bet did not lose in either of them. In their last 10 head to head meetings against Manchester United, this bet would have landed 4 times, refunded 6 times with zero losses. Wolves always keep it tight and rarely lose a game by 2 or more goals so Wolves +1.0 asian handicap looks like a cracking bet to me. If the hosts win by a single goal, our stake will be refunded in full. Take this bet with a 1pt stake as our main selection for this Monday night fixture.

Ruben Neves is Wolves’ most booked player with 6 yellow cards to his name and was also booked in the reverse fixture at the Molineux stadium earlier this season. Bruno Fernandes is Manchester United’s most booked player with 5 yellow cards to his name. He was also booked in the reverse fixture earlier this season. Wolves average 3.2 shots on target per game in the premier league and had 6 shots on target in the reverse fixture. United have conceded 3, 8, 5 & 5 shots on target in their last 4 games in all competitions so Wolves should be able to get atleast 3 efforts on target against them. Combining these 3 selections gives us a cracking longshot @ 28/1 and I am happy to stake a small 0.25pt on that.

Best of luck if you follow these selections. Please always gamble responsibly.
