The starting lineup for each team in their last match in this tournament is indicated.

Wolverhampton

Vitor Pereira made a stunning Premier League debut with a 3-0 victory over Leicester, away from home. Before this, the team was on a four-match losing streak in the league, conceding a total of 12 goals. The club's defense remains the worst in the Premier League, with 40 goals conceded. Wolverhampton is still in the relegation zone, but just two points away from the safe 17th place.


Forwards Sasa Kalajdzic and Enzo Gonzalez, defender Yerson Mosquera, and midfielders Boubacar Traore and Pablo Sarabia are sidelined due to long-term injuries.


  • At least three goals were scored in 13 of the last 14 Premier League matches involving the club.
  • Both teams scored in 13 of Wolverhampton's last 16 league matches.
  • The number "2" appeared in the final scoreline in 7 of the club's last 10 Premier League encounters.

Manchester United

The Red Devils suffered a surprising 0-3 defeat at home to Bournemouth in the last round. This was their third loss in the last four league matches. In between these losses, Ruben Amorim's side managed a 2-1 victory against local rivals Manchester City. The team remains in a lowly 13th place but is just two wins away from the European spots.


Midfielder Mason Mount and defender Luke Shaw are out for an extended period due to injuries.


  • Exactly two or three goals were scored in 8 of Manchester United's last 10 Premier League games.
  • A maximum of three goals were scored in the Red Devils' last nine away matches in the Premier League.
  • The team has not won the first half in their last six away league matches (5 draws and 1 loss).

Wolverhampton vs. Manchester United: Match Prediction

The clash between the Portuguese managers is likely to be a high-scoring affair. Vitor Pereira's arrival has already had a positive impact on Wolverhampton, who secured their third league win. However, it's unlikely they will claim three points in back-to-back matches, as Manchester United is stronger than Leicester. For Ruben Amorim, it is crucial to start winning more frequently, as his team has lost 4 of 9 matches under his tenure following significant lineup changes.


Wolverhampton has won just one of their last nine home league matches (1 draw and 7 losses). Their matches are the most prolific in the league, with an average of 3.94 goals scored. At least three goals have been scored in 9 of their last 10 home Premier League matches. I expect goals from both sides, especially from the visitors, who should score at least twice against the league's worst defensive team. Wolverhampton has conceded two or more goals in 8 of their last 9 home league matches. Additionally, Manchester United has won their last four visits to Molineux in the Premier League.


My prediction – "Double chance X2 and Total over 2.5 goals"
