Clash between Manchester City and Wolverhampton set for May 2nd
Rematch: Manchester City vs Wolverhampton
Mark your calendars for May 2 at 10:00 PM London time, as Manchester City squares off against Wolverhampton at the Etihad Stadium. Peter Bankes will officiate the contest.
City finds itself in fourth place in the Premier League, just one point behind the top three, following their 2-1 victory over Aston Villa. At home, City's unbeaten streak extends to eight out of nine games, winning six times.
Meanwhile, Wolverhampton is on a six-game winning streak, having edged Leicester 3-0 in their previous match. Impressively, each of Wolves' last four away games ended in their favor.
The contest promises to be a high-scoring affair with City tallying in five out of six recent Premier League games, while Wolves have scored in eleven consecutive matches. Given this trend, a reasonable wager would be on both teams to find the back of the net.
However, recent form and historical trends suggest a close game. City's victory in the FA Cup semifinals notwithstanding, injuries to Rodri, Stones, Aké, and Haaland may hinder their performance. On the other hand, Wolves are on a six-game winning streak, but their success often comes against weaker or out-of-form teams.
Manchester City leads the head-to-head statistics, winning five of the last six encounters, though they lost the reverse fixture in October 2024. As the host, City holds a slight advantage, with a 15-8 record against Wolverhampton in the last 23 meetings.
Various analysts predict a close game, with a 2-1 victory for Manchester City being the most often suggested scoreline. However, Wolves' recent improvement and confidence make the match difficult to predict. Odds favor Manchester City, with a moneyline of around -270.
