City of Man versus Wolves - Overview, Predictions, and Top Wagers
Manchester City face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the English Premier League on Friday. Gary O'Neil's side was victorious 2-1 in the reverse fixture, but have lost six consecutive matches against Pep Guardiola's team. City have won 14 out of their last 17 league games.
City have been in impressive form recently, with 25 wins and 14 victories in the last 17 matches in all competitions. If they win their remaining fixtures, they will secure another league title. A stellar 4-1 win over Aston Villa and a 4-2 victory at Crystal Palace, preceded a draw against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals first leg, before elimination.
Following a 5-1 thrashing of Luton Town, they drew 1-1 with Real Madrid and were knocked out of the Champions League on penalties. However, they've since rebounded, beating Chelsea 1-0 in the FA Cup semi-final, thrashing Brighton 4-0, and winning 2-0 at Nottingham Forest last weekend, despite producing only 0.87 XG in that win.
Goalkeeper Ederson is sidelined with a shoulder injury, and Stefan Ortega is set to start in his place. Ruben Dias and Phil Foden are expected to return, having been ill, while Erling Haaland is fit again and could start. John Stones is available after an injury, but may not start.
City are in a strong position to secure a domestic double, being five wins away from the feat. Their motivation to churn out victories and finish the season with two trophies is high. They will attack Wolves and aim to win by a significant margin. Goal difference could potentially settle the title if City draw a match and Arsenal win their last three games.
Wolves sit 11th in the table after a strong season despite a six-match winless run lately. They ended their losing streak last weekend after a depleted lineup suffered a 2-1 home loss to West Ham. A 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest followed, after leading 1-0. They were beaten comfortably at home by Arsenal, and a 1-0 loss to Bournemouth threatened to derail their season. However, they looked more like themselves in a 2-1 home victory over Luton Town last weekend.
Craig Dawson misses out due to surgery, while Petro Neto and Santiago Bueno are still recovering from injuries. However, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde are expected to be available, as well as Matheus Cunha and Hee-Chan Hwang.
Wolves will play defensively, aiming for a draw as a positive result. They may be content with a narrow defeat, avoiding a heavy loss.
