Head-to-Head & Recent Form
Manchester City have won 9 of their last 10 Premier League games against Wolves. However, Wolves stunned them at Molineux in September 2023.
Background
Wolves, under Vítor Pereira, ended last season strongly and avoided relegation. New signings like David Møller Wolfe aim to reinforce their defense.
Meanwhile, City finished 3rd last season, a rare stumble for Guardiola’s men, and they’ll be eager to start strong.
Key Players to Watch
Wolves:
- Matheus Cunha: Ended last season with 14 goals and was Wolves' top scorer.
- David Møller Wolfe: Norwegian full-back signed to bolster the defense.
Manchester City:
- Matheus Nunes: Former Wolves player, now key for City’s midfield creativity.
- Erling Haaland: The golden boot winner aims to start the season with a bang.
Tactical Preview & Prediction
Expect Wolves to press high early and try to disrupt City’s rhythm. However, City’s control and depth will likely take over by the second half.
Predicted Score: Wolves 1 – 3 Manchester City
Final Word
Wolves are on the rise but still lack the consistency City bring. The visitors should leave Molineux with all three points, but it won’t be easy.
