Will the Wanderers remain winless?
The visiting Red Devils have been strong on the road lately: they are unbeaten in their last four away games, despite facing some top teams such as Tottenham and Liverpool. So is it worth betting on an away win for Wolverhampton against Manchester United?
In addition to United’s convincing performances on the road, their upcoming opponent also supports this prediction. The Wanderers are the only team in the English top flight still without a win and are having an alarmingly poor season.
They are languishing in last place with two points and even in front of their own fans, the Wolves regularly look harmless. The fifth-last team from last season has earned no more than one point from its seven home league games so far this season.
The defense in particular has been failing repeatedly in home games, conceding an average of 2.43 goals. In view of this, a prediction of an away win for Wolverhampton against Manchester United seems likely.
In addition, due to the aforementioned weak home defense, we expect at least two goals from coach Rúben Amorim’s team and an away win without conceding a goal. The latter prediction is based on the fact that the home team has completely stopped scoring goals of their own.
Wolverhampton – Manchester United Head-to-head record
Wolverhampton won both matches in the previous season. However, the Wanderers’ recent home record in this fixture is not good: Four of the last five home league games against United ended in a win for the visitors (1-0-4).
The odds for the upcoming match between Wolverhampton and Manchester United also point to a win for the visitors. They are available at Betano, and the bookmaker also has PayPal for sports betting in its arsenal of payment methods!
Wolverhampton – Manchester United Tip
Manchester has learned its lessons from last season. After a disappointing 15th place finish, things are going noticeably better this season, not least in away games. The Red Devils are unbeaten in four away games, and their offense in particular has been reliable.
Manchester scored eight of their ten away goals this season in these games, always exceeding the 1.5-goal mark. In contrast, the home side have looked like a team destined for relegation since the start of the season.
With two points after 14 rounds, the Wanderers are bottom of the table. Just how historically poor their haul is can be seen from the fact that only their upcoming opponents in the 1930/31 season and Sheffield United in the 2020/21 season had so few points at this stage in the history of the country’s top flight!
In addition, no other team has conceded more goals and suffered more defeats this season, while at the same time scoring the fewest number of goals. Even last month’s change of coach, with Vitor Pereira stepping down and Rob Edwards taking over, has not brought any improvement so far.
After three games in the role, Edwards has yet to pick up any points with the club. Against this backdrop, the Wolverhampton vs. Manchester United betting odds for an away win are recommended.
The home side should also keep an eye on Bryan Mbeumo at United: the striker has either scored (3) or provided an assist (2) in five of his six Premier League games against Wolverhampton.
