- Competition: Premier League
- Date: 20th April 2025
- Kick-off: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CEST
- Venue: Old Trafford
Two Premier League sides separated by just one place and three points meet this weekend at Old Trafford as Man United play host to Wolves.
Man United hosted Lyon in midweek as they looked to end a run of four games without a win in all competitions. Bruno Fernandes and Co put on a great show in the first half, going into the break with a two-goal lead but things turned sour in the second half with Lyon scoring twice. Ruben Amorim's side managed to turn things around in extra time, winning 5-2, and they will be hoping to do the same in the Premier League this weekend.
Wolves were under threat of dropping into the bottom three but they quickly turned their fortunes around. The Wanderers are unbeaten in five Premier League games, winning four and notched six goals in their last two matches alone. Having also won each of their last three league games away from home, Pinto Monteiro's men will fancy their chances against United.
Manchester United vs Wolves Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
United conceded ten goals in their last three games alone, but the Red Devils were solid defensively in their recent home league games. In fact, they conceded under one goal in each of the last two despite coming up against Arsenal and Manchester City.
Premier League meetings between Manchester United and Wolves at Old Trafford also have a history of being very close encounters. Each of the last six encounters ended with under 2.5 goals and I expect a similar outcome this weekend.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Manchester United vs Wolves prediction: 1-1
