Wolverhampton vs. Man U Picks, Parlay
Pick:Patrick Dorgu To Score
Patrick Dorgu played in a more advanced role as Ruben Amorim switched to a back four in the win over Newcastle. Dorgu scored the decisive goal in that match and consistently occupied dangerous areas. As a result, we’re backing the Manchester United player to find the net here.
Manchester United have shown a drastic improvement in front of goal this season. They have scored the third-most goals in the Premier League and boast the second-best expected goals (xG) tally. Amorim’s side also averages 16.17 shots per game, the highest mark in the division.
Despite the positive attacking signs throughout the campaign, United looked noticeably more comfortable in a 4-2-3-1 shape against Newcastle. The tactical tweak saw Dorgu start as a right winger rather than a wing-back, and he posed a constant threat from that position.
Dorgu’s goal against Newcastle was a superb volley, but it wasn’t his only contribution. He also recorded two additional shots on target, the most dangerous being a long-range effort with an xGOT (expected goals on target) of 0.30. That willingness to shoot should remain a feature of his game here.
Wolves conceded 27 shots when they faced Manchester United earlier this month. The Red Devils scored four times in that contest and should once again produce a strong attacking performance. If this matchup proves similarly one-sided, Dorgu stands to benefit.

Wolverhampton vs. Man U Betting Analysis
Manchester United are aiming to secure back-to-back wins when they face Wolves in the Premier League on Tuesday evening.
Ruben Amorim’s depleted squad managed to grind out a hard-fought victory over Newcastle in their most recent outing. United will once again be without several key players, but they are still expected to collect all three points.
The Red Devils sit sixth in the table heading into this match, three points off the top four. Securing Champions League qualification would represent a successful season for United, though there is still plenty of work ahead.
Wolves showed some fight in their 2-1 defeat to Liverpool last time out. However, they have collected just two points from 18 matches and are on pace to challenge the record for the lowest points total in Premier League history.
Given their disastrous first half of the season, Wolves are understandably heavy underdogs. That said, inconsistency has been an issue for United under Amorim, which could make this a more intriguing contest than the odds suggest.
