Manchester United travel to Molineux to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in a clash that pits one of the league’s most potent attacking outfits against a side still searching for their first win of the season.
This Monday evening encounter is loaded with significance: United look to climb the table after a mixed start, while Wolves are desperate to stop the rot and restore pride in front of their home fans. Kick-off is set for 8:00 PM at Molineux.
Best Bets & Predictions
Based on this season’s attacking gulf, we’re particularly confident backing Manchester United to take all three points, especially given Wolves’ winless run and blunt attack. Here are our top betting recommendations for this fixture:
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manchester United to Win | 8/11 @ SBK (57.9%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Manchester United’s superior away form and Wolves’ historically poor start to the season provide the data-driven case for a United victory. Wolves sit last in the table with a mere two points, having lost six of their seven home games. Conversely, Manchester United has secured nine points from their seven away fixtures. While United’s recent form is mixed, their historical dominance (17 wins to Wolves’ 7 in 29 meetings) and the host’s current crisis of eight successive defeats make an away win the statistical certainty. |
| Both Teams To Score: No | 6/5 @ SBK (45.5%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | The statistical case for “Both Teams To Score: No” is compelling, driven by Wolves’ abysmal attack. Wolves have scored a league-low seven goals this season, failing to score in six of their seven home matches. Their BTTS percentage is a low 57.1%. While Manchester United’s defense is not watertight, facing the league’s least potent attack, which has lost eight successive games, significantly increases the probability of a United clean sheet and a one-sided scoreline. |

Wolves vs Man Utd match odds
How both teams head into Wolves vs Man Utd
Things could be much worse for Wolves heading into Monday’s clash. They’ve lost seven in a row and haven’t scored for five matches, leaving them rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table. They’ve yet to pick up a win this season and currently have just two points, equalling the unwanted record for a low points total at this stage of the season, set by Sheffield United. Wolves have only scored seven this season, an average of 0.5 goals per game, but conceded 29 goals, an average of more than two goals a game.
Man Utd are still lacking some consistency, having drawn three of their last five games, and this run has kept them firmly in the middle of the pack chasing the European places instead of jumping into them. It’s been a lack of clean sheets that has limited the Red Devils in recent weeks, with the side scoring and conceding seven times in their last five games. A draw against West Ham last time out was indicative of their season, with Ruben Amorim’s side unable to hold on to a lead and ultimately being left disappointed with a point.
Wolves team news
Rodrigo Gomes and Daniel Bentley are still a number of weeks away from a return, while Leon Chiwome, Fernando Lopez and Marshall Munetsi all have no return date set coming into this match. Joao Gomes and Ladislav Krejci are still likely a couple of weeks away from a return, although there is a chance that Krejci could feature against Man Utd.
Man Utd team news
Harry Maguire won’t feature this weekend as he continues to struggle with a thigh injury. Matthijs de Ligt is another player with a big question mark over this head coming into this weekend but Benjamin Sesko could make his return from injury.
Season Form & Standings
The gulf in form is stark. Manchester United sit 8th with 22 points from 14 games, while Wolves are bottom, winless after 14 matches and a goal difference of -22.
| Team | Pos | P | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |

| Wolverhampton Wanderers | 20 | 14 | 0 | 2 | 12 | 7 | 29 | -22 | 2 |
United average 1.6 goals scored per game, while Wolves have managed just 0.5 per match. Wolves’ average possession sits below 48%, and their passing accuracy is marginally inferior to United’s.
Head-to-Head: Last 5 Meetings

| Date | Score | Competition |
|---|---|---|
| 20/04/25 | Manchester United 0-1 Wolves | Premier League |
| 26/12/24 | Wolves 2-0 Manchester United | Premier League |
| 01/02/24 | Wolves 3-4 Manchester United | Premier League |
| 14/08/23 | Manchester United 1-0 Wolves | Premier League |
| 13/05/23 | Manchester United 2-0 Wolves | Premier League |
Conclusion
Manchester United’s superior attack, greater creative power and Wolves’ ongoing struggles in front of goal point strongly towards an away win at Molineux. With United’s forwards in sharp form and Wolves yet to taste victory this season, the value sits with Manchester United to win at 8/11 (57.9%) with SBK. Can Wolves finally break their duck, or will United’s firepower prove decisive once again?
