Venue: Molineux Stadium

Match Preview:

Monday night’s game looks like a real cracker as Wolves will take on Manchester United at Molineux Stadium.

Wolves were a revelation last season finishing 7^th and reaching the Europa League. Under manager Nuno Espirito Santo the clubs philosophy has completely changed and they have genuinely become a difficult team to beat. Just ask their opponents Manchester United who were beaten in the league by them last season and knocked out of the FA Cup too.

Last weekend Wolves opened their account with a 0-0 result at tricky Leicester and left knowing that they had had more shots on target than their hosts.

Manchester United couldn’t have got off to a better start had they tried and beat Chelsea 4-0 at Old Trafford. It was the perfect tonic for a club who are still seen in transition 6 years after Sir Alex Ferguson left the club.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a tough ask on his hands but if he can replicate his first 3 months with the club into this season then there could be many positive results coming from the club. The 4-0 win over Chelsea was fantastic and very much welcomed but again it is too early in the season to know if United have genuinely turned a corner or will the season descend into more of the same for a club that have won trophies over the years but have turned into a shadow of the side they once were.

Team News:

7 of the last 8 meetings has seen both teams to score.

Wolves vs Man Utd Prediction:

We should be in for a treat in this game, can Manchester United exact revenge for last season where Wolves were able to beat them twice or can Wolves follow on with another win? The big plus Santos’ team have is that they will have home advantage and in the back end of last season United’s away record was awful but this is a new season. VAR is here and there are so many questions to be answered. The feeling is that Wolves could win this game, but with this being the beginning of the season the truth is many punters are still feeling their way around the waters and form of the other clubs. Therefore best thing here could be to look into the goals and goalscorers markets.
