Check out our 13/2 and 24/5 Manchester City vs Wolves predictions below
Manchester City racked up a whopping 3.7 xGF at Watford last weekend, their third-highest total in the Premier League this season, but they will find it much tougher to create big chances against a Wolves team that has the sixth-best defensive process in the division.
City are 1/6 with Grosvenor Sport to make it six Premier League wins on the spin, while the Old Gold are a huge 17/1 to cause an upset at the Etihad. Even the draw is 13/2.
Wolves have struggled in front of goal this season, scoring just 12 goals in their 15 games and they have managed just a solitary strike in their last five league fixtures, which helps to explain why the 'Man City to win to nil' wager is as short as 13/20.
City sit proudly on top of the Premier League after 15 games and that spells trouble for their rivals because they are traditionally a side that come on strong in the second half of the season. Beginning with Wolves, Pep's side have a very winnable run of fixtures that could see see them open up a gap on their rivals by the new year.
Wolves have made steady progress this year but the goals have really dried up in recent weeks and that is going to be a real problem against a side that boast the best defensive numbers in the league.
Wolves' xGF of 0.3 away at Norwich a couple of weeks ago severely highlights their issues and it's very difficult to see a side that can't create big chances at the league's bottom club being able to do so at the Etihad.
With that in mind, wagering in this game has to revolve around City getting the job done without being troubles at the other end of the pitch.
Manchester City vs Wolves prediction
City to win to nil is short enough at 13/20 so we'll look elsewhere.
Wolves' defensive strength should ensure that they don't get a hiding so let's split stakes on the 1-0 and 2-0 scorelines at 13/2 and 24/5 respectively.
It's very difficult to make a case for Wolves breaching the home rearguard given their record.
Recommended bet: Manchester City 1-0 (13/2) and Manchester City 2-0 (24/5)
