Manchester City – Wolverhampton Wanderers FC prediction 04.05.2024 Premier League
Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to clash in a highly anticipated Premier League match on Saturday, 04.05.2024 at the Etihad Stadium. The match is on Matchday 36 and promises to be an exciting showdown between these two top-flight teams.
City has only lost three games in the Premier League this season. One of these losses was against Wolves, where they lost 2-1. Despite having a game in hand, City is just one point behind Arsenal. This means they cannot afford to lose again against Wolves. If City wins the match, they will set a new club record of 43 consecutive home games unbeaten across all competitions, having won 35 games and drawn 7.

MANCHESTER CITY
Manchester City, led by coach Josep Guardiola i Sala, currently sit in the 2nd position in the Premier League standings with 79 points. They have had an impressive season so far with 24 wins, 7 draws, and 3 defeats, scoring 82 goals and conceding only 32.
Despite this incredible form, Manchester City may face a challenge in their quest for a fourth successive Premier League title, as they prepare to host Wolves at Etihad Stadium. After being knocked out of the Champions League, Pep Guardiola’s squad has won their last three competitive matches without conceding a single goal. Both of the previous two home head-to-head encounters with Wolves resulted in victories for City without conceding a goal, and so they are expected to continue this trend.
WOLVERHAMPTON
Wolverhampton Wanderers, under the guidance of coach Gary Paul O’Neil, are in the 11th position in the league table with 46 points. They have secured 13 wins, 7 draws, and 15 defeats, scoring 48 goals and conceding 55.
The recent outcomes of the games can be attributed to the visiting teams having nothing left to play for. However, the home team still has goals to achieve as preparations for the next season are underway. One such goal is to score five more times, which would match their best performance in a top-flight season, currently standing at 48. Despite their ambition, the team’s inability to score in four out of six away matches against current top-eight teams, winning one and losing five, suggests that they may not be able to achieve this goal in the upcoming game.

OUR MANCHESTER CITY VS WOLVES BETTING PREDICTIONS
In nine out of ten league games played at home against teams starting in the bottom ten, City has managed to score two or more goals, with only one game being an exception (W9, D1). Meanwhile, the away team has struggled to score in four out of six away matches against the current top-eight teams, winning one and losing five. This suggests Man City is likely to win this game with a 2-goal margin.
TIP 1#: Handicap -1 Manchester City Win – odds @ 1.33
City suffered a league defeat this season against only three teams, and Wolves is one of them. The hosts cannot afford a repeat of that loss as they are trailing table-topping Arsenal by just one point in the current round. The last four meetings between these two teams have featured more than two total match goals, and we are predicting another action-packed game that will produce a similar number of goals.
TIP 2#: Over 2.5 Goals – odds @ 1.32
