Wolves vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips (20 October)

Accustomed to vegetating in the soft underbelly of the rankings for several years, Wolverhampton is worrying all its fans at the start of the season. Indeed, Matheus Cunha's teammates are quite simply last in the Premier League with a record of 1 draw and 6 defeats. They took their only point away to Nottingham Forest at the end of August 1-1. Since then, Wolverhampton have in turn lost against Newcastle 1-2, Aston Villa 3-1, Liverpool 1-2 and Brentford on the last day 5-3. Quadruple reigning English champions, Manchester City have been pushed in its corners last year by Arsenal. The Skyblues still remain the big favorites to win the championship this season but they will have to be wary of the competition.

They are present for the moment, as evidenced by their 2nd place in the Premier League with 1 point behind leader Liverpool. Victorious during the first 4 days, the Cityzens were then held back by Arsenal 2-2 and Newcastle 1-1. They resumed their march forward by taking over Fulham 3-2. Also ambitious in the Champions League, Manchester City started their campaign with an Inter draw and a Slovan Bratislava victory.

For this meeting, Wolverhampton cannot count on starting defender Mosquera, Metz-trained midfielder Boubacar Traoré as well as replacement attackers Kalajdzic and Gonzalez, all on the flank. Furthermore, arriving from Nantes this summer, young defender Meupiyou is uncertain. Forwards Matheus Cunha (3 goals in PL) and Strand Larsen (2 goals and 1 assist in PL) found the net on the last day. The Wolves have the worst defense in the championship. Manchester City is obviously deprived of midfield captain Rodri, whose season is seriously compromised.

Also taking their place in the infirmary are the starting defender Aké and the young winger Bobb. Playmaker De Bruyne could return to the field after missing Belgium's rally during the break. Author of a double against Fulham, Croatian midfielder Kovacic perfectly replaces Rodri for the moment. Erling Haaland is clearly the top scorer in the championship with 10 goals.
