Manchester United vs Wolves Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 14th August 2023

Manchester United finished last season inside the top four and open their new campaign on Monday, when welcoming Wolves at Old Trafford.

Manchester United bid welcome to Wolves, who ended last season as number 13 in the Premier League. The hosts can look back on a season which saw them end up as number three.

We expect to see some solid dedication from both Manchester United and Wolves as starting a season with a defeat is an undesirable outcome for anyone's morale.

Manchester United scored 16 times, conceded six and held on for five clean sheets in their last ten games.

Wolves scored nine goals, conceded 17 and kept their opponents from scoring four times in ten matches.

Manchester United won the last two meetings against Wolves, as they followed up a 1-0 win by beating their upcoming opponent by a 2-0 score.

Manchester United vs Wolves Prediction

Manchester United Form

Manchester United are looking to bounce back from a recent setback and get back to winning ways. In their last three matches, they first took out Chelsea by 4-1, before beating Fulham by 2-1. The winning streak came to an end against Manchester City, who ran out 2-1 winners. Manchester United swept all opposition aside in the six most recent Premier League matches at their home ground. They won all six, adding 18 points to their account, whilst scoring 12 and conceding two goals.

A season somewhat above expectations could perhaps make Manchester United a contender in a title race, though they do look capable of a podium finish if catching the right momentum.

Wolves Form

Wolves were only able to take one point from their past three games. They came up short in a 2-0 defeat against Manchester United before drawing 1-1 with Everton. They were defeated once again, when Arsenal ran out 5-0 winners. Wolves didn't manage a single away win in their last six Premier League matches, but managed one draws, while suffering five defeats. They conceded 18 and scored three goals themselves.

Finishing somewhere in mid-table will probably be satisfactory for Wolves, who aim to keep the relegation line at a distance in the Premier League.

While we don't believe Wolves are strong enough to prevent Manchester United from a home win, we believe they are capable of limiting the defeat to only a few goals.
