Wolves vs Manchester United Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier League Predictions
Wolverhampton Wanderers will be looking to continue their new manager bounce when they play host to Manchester United at Molineux Stadium in the Premier League on Boxing Day. Wolves are the first side below the dotted line while the Red Devils are in 13th place in the league standings after 17 games. Check out our match prediction below!
In the history of the Premier League, Man United have won more games and scored more goals than any other team on Boxing Day (22 wins and 74 goals). They have also been the superior side in this fixture in recent times, winning each of their last four games at this venue, and seven of the last eight home or away.
The visitors are the favourites at the books in this match as well, but the hosts are the ones entering the contest off the back of a morale-boosting victory last weekend. To the key stats!

Wolves - Manchester United: Form Analysis
Vitor Pereira made the perfect start to his managerial tenure in the Premier League, securing an impressive 3-0 victory over Leicester City, which narrowed the gap to just two points to safety last week.
That result also brought an end to a four-match losing streak, during which the team conceded 12 goals and ultimately led to the sacking of Gary O’Neil after their last home game.
The new boss will now try to bring that winning feeling back to Molineux, where the hosts have only managed to take four points from a possible 24 this season (W1 D1 L6).
Wolves have conceded 40 goals this season - the most of any team in the top flight!
Meanwhile, Manchester United’s new manager has experienced every emotion possible since taking charge, but the most recent was another disappointment after losing 3-0 to Bournemouth at the weekend.
The Portuguese tactician has now seen his side lose three of their last four league games and concede two or more in each of those defeats. They also conceded four in a seven-goal thriller against Spurs in the Carabao Cup last week.
On the road, the Red Devils have a record of two wins, three draws and three defeats this term, but they have won each of their last four here in the Black Country.

Wolves & Manchester United Squad Analysis
Wolves are expected to remain without Yerson Mosquera and Enso Gonzalez for the majority of the season, with the pair having undergone surgery owing to cruciate ligament tears.
Boubacar Traore (knee) and Sasa Kalajdzic (knee) are ruled out until the New Year and Santiago Bueno is flagged as a major doubt due to a muscle injury.
However, Rayan Ait-Nouri will be eligible to return this week having served his suspension, and teenager Bastien Meupiyou has shaken off a knock and should be part of the squad.
Will Ruben Amorim recall Marcus Rashford to Man United’s matchday squad?
The England international has been out of the team for the last two matches and dropped a bombshell last week by indicating that he may be ready for a new challenge.
However, the defeat to the Cherries could see the United boss forced into a reshuffle, but he will not be able to call upon Mason Mount, Luke Shaw or Victor Lindelof, all of whom are out injured.
Matthijs de Ligt has missed the last two matches with an illness and his participation this week remains uncertain.

Our Wolves vs Manchester United Prediction
Under new leadership, Wolves looked a much better side last week when they smashed three goals past Leicester, but this match represents a much tougher test against an opponent with a better attack.
Granted, United’s forwards were far from impressive last weekend when they were upstaged by Bournemouth, but that was only the second time they have been shut out since September, with the other match being against Arsenal. Our Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester United prediction is both teams to score.
