Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Wolverhampton vs Manchester United

Wolverhampton

Wolves will begin the second part of the English championship under the guidance of a new coach - Julen Lopetegui, who is designed to help the team get out of the danger zone. Wolverhampton are at the very bottom of the standings, and the results of the team in the first round of the Premier League surprised in a negative way and disappointed the fans of the club.

In the match of the new round against a top rival, the Wolves will be underdogs, but on their field they are quite capable of getting a positive result. Under the guidance of the Spanish mentor, Wolverhampton should add in all components of the game and it is absolutely possible that in the next game the team will create one of the main sensations of the tour in the championship of England.

Manchester United

Manchester United are also determined to play the second part of the season much stronger than the first. The Red Devils are still outside the top four of the standings and getting into the Champions League zone is a priority task for Eric Ten Hag's wards in the current campaign.

After the end of the World Cup, the team has already won an important victory by beating Burnley in the English League Cup. The Red Devils are waiting for the return of Rafael Varane and Lisandro Martinez, who were the last to complete their World Cup appearances, but without them, the Manchester United squad looks quite formidable and ready to take three points in a new meeting.

Game Totals Prediction

In recent years, rivals have not been pleased with productive play in head-to-head matches, so it is possible that the new game will not be rich in goals scored either. Both Wolverhampton and Manchester United play, first of all, for the result, and only then they think about the entertainment of their performances. The Red Devils will try to play with the first number, but the hosts will rely on counterattacks and set pieces. It is possible that the fate of the meeting can be decided by one goal scored, so the logical choice seems to be a total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.83.
