Wolves vs Man United Prediction, Preview and Betting Tips: Top Tips for Boxing Day
After a heavy defeat to Bournemouth last weekend, Manchester United take the trip to Molineux to face a Wolves side in a battle for relegation and have lost 4 of their last 5 games.
This Boxing Day game kicks off at 17:30 and can be watched live on Sky Sports.
Wolves vs Man United Predictions
My first tip is for Man United to come away with the win in this one.
United might be struggling with consistency this season, but they’ve got a good chance to get back on track here. Wolves are in poor form, having lost four of their last five Premier League games. However, they did win convincingly in their last game.
Despite United's ups and downs, they’ve got the talent to take advantage of Wolves’ defensive weaknesses, with players like Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo capable of making the difference.
With Wolves continuing to falter, this looks like a great opportunity for United to pick up a much-needed win at Molineux.

Matheus Cunha has been one of Wolves’ brighter sparks this season, always looking to make things happen up front. He’s been regularly testing goalkeepers, averaging just over one shot on target per game in the Premier League so far. In recent matches, he’s shown he’s not afraid to take on defenders and get his shots away, even when Wolves have been struggling for form.
This match against Manchester United presents a good opportunity for Cunha to shine. United’s defense hasn’t been the most secure this season, and they’ve struggled to prevent attacking players from finding chances. With Wolves likely to lean on Cunha to create chances, he should see enough of the ball in advanced areas to trouble the United backline.
Backing Cunha for 2 or more shots on target feels like a smart call. He’s proven he can find space and create shooting opportunities even against tough opponents, and with Wolves looking to bounce back from a poor run of form, he’ll be crucial to their efforts in this game.
