Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City Prediction
In their previous meeting earlier this season, Manchester City won 1-2 on the road. Manchester City is 8-1 in their last 9 overall meetings against Wolves, and are 8-1-1 in their last 10 meetings in Etihad Stadium. Over is 9-1 in their last 10 overall meetings and 3-1 in their last 4 meetings in Etihad Stadium.
In this Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City Prediction, Manchester City is coming as huge -320 home favorites. Manchester City is rightfully favored, as they have been the better team this season, and still have something to play for, as they are looking for the best placement possible on the top-7 of the Premier League that leads to next season’s European Championships. But the moneyline is way too juiced and the Asian handicap for City is at -1.5 and I don’t trust them to win by 2+ goals against a red-hot on the road Wolves team.
This is a matchup between the second-best offense and the 4th-worst defense, and almost all of their recent meetings between those two teams had been high-scoring ones, so take the over once again in this one.
