Man Utd vs Wolves prediction: Fatigued United could be worth opposing
Key Stats
- Wolves have won four Premier League matches on the spin and have lost only once in seven league assignments overall.
- Five of Wolves’ last six Premier League fixtures have featured goals at both ends.
- Matheus Cunha has scored seven times in his last nine appearances for club and country.
- Man Utd have failed to win seven of their last nine home games in the league.
Correct score prediction: Man Utd 1-2 Wolves
Man Utd’s draining exploits in Thursday’s extra-time Europa League clash with Lyon could leave them vulnerable to another poor Premier League result on Sunday when Wolves visit Old Trafford. Wanderers have won each of their last two Premier League away games 2-1 and a repeat result could be in the offing here.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Wolves offer better value
- HOME: 6/5 (2.20) – 45.5%
- DRAW: 5/2 (3.50) – 28.6%
- AWAY: 11/5 (3.20) – 31.3%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Man Utd produced a miraculous comeback to beat Lyon 5-4 after extra time on Thursday evening, however, the domestic form continues to suffer and they offer little value as 6/5 favourites here.
Wolves, meanwhile, are one of the division’s form teams; however, despite winning four games in succession, they are priced as long as 11/5 to win in Manchester. Check out more of our latest football predictions and Premier League analysis on our dedicated page.

Player to watch – Matheus Cunha
Combustible Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United and the explosive attacker has a chance to audition at Old Trafford ahead of a possible summer switch on Sunday.
Confident Cunha can impress
Cunha has lodged 14 goals and four assists in 24 Premier League starts for Wolves this season and has been providing a goal contribution every 154.8 minutes for his club overall. Operating as one of the “tens” in Wolves’ 3-4-2-1 formation, it’s easy to see why the 25-year-old is seen as the perfect fit for a similar United setup.
