Manchester City will be aiming to bounce back from defeat when they welcome Wolves to the Etihad Stadium for Saturday’s Premier League clash.
City were beaten 2-1 away to RB Leipzig in the Champions League in midweek, bringing to an end their run of seven consecutive victories.
Manchester City vs Wolves latest odds
However, Man City are overwhelming 1/7 (1.14) favourites with bet365 to get straight back to winning ways against a team they have actually beaten just three times in the last seven encounters.
Bruno Lage’s men have won just one of their last five fixtures and Wolves are 18/1 (19.0) outsiders to pull off a shock victory at the home of the champions, or priced at 7/1 (8.0) to earn a creditable draw.
Manchester City vs Wolves first goalscorer
Gabriel Jesus is the 9/2 (5.50) front runner to break the deadlock against a defence he scored three past over the two meetings last season, while Bernardo Silva offers tempting value at 15/2 (8.50) following five goals in his last five league games.
Raul Jimenez is his side’s 14/1 (15.0) first goalscorer favourite after scoring his team's only goal in the last five matches, with strike partner Hee-Chan Hwang priced at 20/1 (21.0).
Manchester City vs Wolves preview
As one of only five teams to prevent Pep Guardiola’s team from scoring in a home league game since his appointment in 2016, the visitors certainly know better than most how to frustrate the Etihad Stadium crowd.
Indeed, they have kept a clean sheet in two of their last four visits to this ground and were within a minute of becoming the first team to prevent Liverpool from scoring this season in last weekend’s 1-0 defeat.
Sure to set themselves up in similarly defensive fashion, a Wolves team that have conceded only three goals but scored just once in the last five games look capable of keeping things tight here.
Manchester City vs Wolves tips & predictions
Nevertheless, City’s strong form and array of attacking talent make even money (2.0) seem generous on them taking all three points in a match that produces under 3.5 goals.
