Manchester City have recovered after a home defeat to Crystal Palace and have won five straight in the English league. Pep Guardiola’s last opponent was Watford. The away side converted their chances and outplayed the Hornets 3-1. At the end of 15 appearances, Manchester City have 36 points. Thanks to this winning streak, Manchester City are now at the top of the English league table. The advantage over nearest rivals Liverpool is one point.
Wolverhampton
After beating West Ham United 1-0, Wolverhampton failed to produce any good attacking performances in the next three rounds of the EPL. The Bruno Lage-led side shared points with Norwich City and Burnley, with both games ending 0-0 on aggregate. The previous weekend, Wolves hosted Liverpool. For the third game in a row, Wolverhampton failed to score. The Wolves conceded a goal in the match’s closing stages and suffered a 0-1 defeat. With 21 points, Wolverhampton sit eighth in the EPL table.
Expert Betting Tips
Manchester City finally managed to mark a good game against the Wolves in the previous EPL campaign. In the 2019-20 season, the Citizens lost twice to Wolverhampton. Once again, Pep Guardiola’s side is the favourites for the match. This week, Manchester City’s representatives were unsuccessful against RB Leipzig and suffered a 1-2 defeat in the last leg of the Champions League group stage. The home side will try to make amends for that result with a good performance in the EPL. Wolverhampton will have a very difficult game at the Etihad Stadium.
It is worth highlighting that many corner kicks have been taken in most of Man City’s recent games. I do not rule out that Wolves will act very low in defence from the start of the game, and it will lead to many corners. I also expect dangerous counterattacks from the visitors. The team will try to catch the opponent at a mistake and break their goal drought in the EPL. We are expecting a very interesting match, on which I suggest to consider the following lines:
- Total Over (4.5) corner kicks in the first half for 1.74;
- Total Over (4.5) corner kicks in the first half for 1.72;
- Both teams to score for 2.62.
