Haaland to Inspire City to Victory at Molineux?

Vitor Pereira did a fine job with Wolves after taking the reins just before Christmas, guiding the Midlands club to a 16th-place finish. It could be another tough campaign for Wanderers, but Pereira’s side will back themselves to stay away from the relegation zone.

By their hugely high standards, Man City had a poor 2024-25 season. The Citizens finished 13 points behind Liverpool in third place. They struggled for large parts of the campaign, losing nine of their 38 league fixtures.

It will be interesting to see how Wolves fare without Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri. Cunha joined Manchester United for over £60m, while Ait-Nouri moved to Man City in a £30m deal. Wanderers have made Jorgen Strand Larsen’s move permanent, but their squad looks weaker on paper this term.

Man City have quietly gone about their business, bringing in the likes of Ait-Nouri, James Trafford, and Tijjani Reijnders. However, Kevin De Bruyne has moved to Napoli after being deemed surplus to requirements at the Etihad Stadium.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City Betting Odds

Wolves will want to make Molineux a tough place to visit this season, but the hosts are the underdogs in their opening match. The Wolves win is available at 5.80, while you can get the draw at 4.40.

Man City are eager to get off to a positive start, especially with how last season went. Guardiola’s superstars are the favourites at 1.51.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Win – 5.80

Draw – 4.40

Recent Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City Head-to-Head Meetings

Man City edged the two league meetings last term. City won 2-1 at Molineux in October, with Josko Gvardiol and John Stones netting after Wolves’ early opener. De Bruyne scored the only goal in the game at the Etihad.

Wanderers picked up a 2-1 home win in September 2023, but the Manchester club have won nine of the past ten meetings. However, Wolves nicked one of the best league games between the sides in 2019, winning 3-2 on home turf.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City Betting Tips & Predictions

Wolves are an unpredictable outfit this season, and Pereira’s side could cause a few upsets, but our money is going on Man City in this one. Have a punt on the away win and both teams to score at 3.00.

Erling Haaland would love to get his season up and running by getting on the scoresheet at Molineux, and the Norway striker is nicely priced at 3.75 to score two or more goals.
