Man U vs. Wolverhampton Pick, Prediction
Pick: Manchester United to Win (-134)
Across the top five big leagues, no team has a worse points per match record than the Wolves, returning only two points after 14 games. Along with Hellas Verona and Fiorentina, the Wolves are the only English side yet to win in their respective domestic competitions.
Key metrics in the Premier League highlight the team’s struggles: they have scored the fewest goals, averaging only 0.5 per game, and have conceded the most, 2.1 per game. That is a bad combination, explaining why they sit at the bottom of the league with relegation looming.
Additionally, they take the fewest shots on target and have created the fewest big chances, underscoring their lack of offensive prowess.
Man United may not be the best team defensively, but they rank near the top of the division for expected goals (23.12 xG) and shots per 90 (15.29). Only Liverpool (15.43) averages more shots per game than United this season.
If season trends continue, we predict that Manchester United will edge Wolves in the attacking third of the pitch.
If United score first and Wolves are forced to play more expansively in search of an equaliser, the Red Devils could capitalise in the space afforded to them in transition and on the counter.

Man U vs. Wolverhampton Betting Analysis
After missing out on reaching the fourth place due to a 1-1 draw with West Ham, Manchester United travels to face the bottom-placed Wolves, who have only two points.
The Red Devils currently sit eighth, with a 20-point lead over their Monday opponents. However, with only one win in their last five matches, United remains mid-table and continues to rue missed opportunities.
Wolverhampton, meanwhile, is 12 points away from the safety zone and is still searching for its first Premier League victory. They are coming off two consecutive 1-0 defeats to Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest, and have failed to score in their last five outings.
Despite United's inconsistent form, they are favoured by bookmakers, though with high odds. The Red Devils' price to win on the 1x2 market implies a 55% chance of an away win, according to the bookmakers.
The Wolves, entering matchday 15 as the division’s worst club, have a 24% chance of victory going off the 1x2 market prices.
