Command Analysis
Wolverhampton Wanderers
EnglandCurrent form
Vitor Pereira debut as Wolverhampton Wanderers' head coach in the Premier League was more than confident. The Wolves won a convincing 3-0 away win over their direct rivals in the fight for survival, Leicester. It should be noted that the team kept a clean sheet in defence for only the second time this season. All goals in that match were scored in the opening 45 minutes. With 12 points, Wolverhampton is in 18th place in the relegation zone, but the distance to the saving 17th position is only two points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mosquera, Traore, Sarabia, Gonzalez and Kalajdzic will not play today due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- At least three goals have been scored in 13 of Wolves' last 14 Premier League games
- Goals have been exchanged in 13 of Wolves' last 16 Premier League games
Probable line-up: Sa - Doherty, Bueno, Toti Gomes - Semedo, Joao Gomes, Andre, Ait-Nouri - Guedes, Cunha - Strand-Larsen.
Manchester United
EnglandCurrent form
Ruben Amorim is unable to solve all the problems at once and give an immediate result. In the last round, Manchester United suffered a crushing defeat 0:3 from Bournemouth on their home field. It cannot be said that the Mancunians were seriously inferior to the opponent in terms of the game, they made seven shots on target, but they were unable to score. Before that, let us recall, in the Premier League, the Red Devils achieved an important victory in the derby with Manchester City (2:1). It is noticeable that Amorim has not yet decided on the main lineup, a decent rotation can be regularly seen. In the tournament table, Manchester United approaches the start of the 18th round in 13th place, six points behind the European Cup zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mount, Shaw and Lindelof are injured and will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Manchester United have trailed in the first half in their last three matches
- No more than three goals have been scored in the Red Devils' previous nine away Premier League games
Probable line-up: Onana - de Ligt, Maguire, Martinez - Mazraoui, Ugarte, Mainu, Dalot - Diallo, Fernandes - Hoilund.

8.40Tip and bets
In the last round, under the leadership of the new coach, Wolverhampton confidently dealt with Leicester, but today opponent is still of a slightly different caliber. Yes, Manchester United with Amorim at the helm is currently in a storm, but in terms of play, especially in attack, the team looks decent, regularly creating dangerous moments in large numbers. It is unlikely that the far from reliable defense of the "wolves" will cope with a serious onslaught. Plus, the "red devils" have always won in the last four head-to-head confrontations.
Our prediction is Manchester United to win at odds of 1.93
Bet on total
Manchester United last five games have seen more than two goals scored. Wolverhampton are not the type of team that tries to hide behind a tight defence either. We expect at least three goals today.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.67
Bet on corners
In six of the previous eight head-to-head encounters at Wolverhampton in the Premier League, the Mancunians won on corners. There is a high probability that the visitors will have the initiative on the football field and win on corners once again.
Prediction: Manchester United win on corners with odds of 1.51
