Man City vs. Wolverhampton Betting Analysis
Guardiola’s most challenging season with City since his arrival in 2016/17 saw the Citizens finish third. Although they managed several wins late in the season, they failed to secure trophies in both the Club World Cup and the FA Cup.
Wolves have proven to be a tough opponent for elite English clubs, scoring in three of their last five encounters with City. At Molineux Stadium, their scoring record improves, netting at least one goal in five of the previous six matches.
Last season, BTTS – Yes landed in 61% of all Wolves games, which is 23 out of 38 games. The season before that, Wolverhampton were the second most profitable team in this market, bringing in a profit of 6.59 units.
Thirty-five goals have been recorded in the most recent ten Premier League fixtures between these two sides. An average of 3.50 goals per 90 suggests this is a matchup for those who prefer betting on a goal fest rather than a cagey game.
Manchester City scored 28 of the 35 goals, and given their favorite tag, they might need to do most of the work to reach the 2.75 Asian goal line.
Sky Blues' matches saw an average of 12.73 goal kicks per game last season, the second-lowest in the Premier League. However, Pep Guardiola’s side have looked dynamic, but more vulnerable since then, so over 12.5 goal kicks as part of our Wolves vs Manchester City predictions looks like a promising selection.
The Citizens have played five matches since the 2024/25 domestic season concluded. There were 13 or more goal kicks in three of their four matches at the Club World Cup, with an average of 14.25 per game. Their recent friendly against Palermo saw 16 goal kicks, well above the bookmaker’s line for the Premier League opener against Wolves.
