Wolves will be hoping to stop the Manchester City winning machine when they travel to the Etihad Stadium for Tuesday’s Premier League clash.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s are faced with a team that is currently enjoying a 20-match unbeaten streak in all competitions and has opened up a 12-point gap at the top of the table.
Manchester City vs Wolves Latest Odds
However, having lost just twice in the last six meetings - winning both league encounters last season - Wolves can be backed at 19/1 (20.00) with bet365 to pull off a shock victory here.
The Citizens have not failed to win a game in any competition since mid-December, and are clear 1/7 (1.14) favourites to extend that run by coming out on top once again.
Three of the guests’ last five away matches in the league have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 13/2 (7.50) on them collecting an impressive point in this one.
Manchester City vs Wolves Team News
Sergio Aguero made his first league start since October in Saturday’s 2-1 win over West Ham, with Nathan Ake now the only player unavailable for the hosts.
Willy Boly, Marcal, Daniel Podence, and long-term absentee Raul Jimenez are all ruled out due to injury.
Manchester City vs Wolves Preview
While they recorded memorable 3-2 and 2-0 wins over this opposition last season, it is hard to see the guests pulling off a similar feat without the influential Jimenez - who either scored or assisted four of those goals.
However, they may back themselves to at least make life difficult for the home team, having conceded just four goals in their last seven matches in the league.
Indeed, the Wolves backline has held out to at least half-time in five of the last seven fixtures, albeit their attacking counterparts have failed to score in the opening 45 in six of those themselves.
Manchester City vs Wolves Tips and Predictions
Considering Pep Guardiola’s men have scored 12 of their last 18 goals after half-time and conceded just four first-half goals in 27 matches, odds of 21/20 (2.05) seem like a solid investment on the majority of the action taking place after the break.
All odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
