Wolverhampton Wanderers v Manchester City Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Manchester City will be looking to maintain their blistering start to the season when they travel to Molineux to take on Wolves on Saturday.

The reigning champions are already top of the Premier League table after following up an impressive 2-0 away victory over Arsenal by thrashing Huddersfield 6-1 last time out.

Latest Odds

Having come out on top in five of the six previous top flight encounters between the teams, they are 2/9 (1.22) favourites with William Hill to continue their winning streak here.

Meanwhile, Nuno Espirito Santo's men have collected just one point from the opening two matches on their return to the Premier League, but are available at 9/1 (10.00) to kick start their season with a shock win in this one.

The sides shared a 0-0 draw when they met in last season's EFL Cup and you can get odds of 6/1 (7.00) on them cancelling each other out once again.

Team News

Matt Doherty is a doubt after being injured by Jamie Vardy last weekend, while Ivan Cavaleiro remains ruled out and new signing Leander Dendoncker is still lacking match fitness.

Kevin De Bruyne and Claudio Bravo are both long-term absentees, but Leroy Sane, Raheem Sterling, Riyad Mahrez and Kyle Walker will be pushing for a starting spot after dropping to the bench against Huddersfield.

Early goals

Although they eventually won on penalties, that League Cup tie last season was one of just two matches in the entire 2017/18 campaign in which Pep Guardiola's men failed to score.

It is hard to see that happening give both teams' start to this campaign, with Wolves having conceded twice against both Everton and Leicester and City in rampant form up front.

Indeed, the away fans should not even have to wait too long to have something to cheer about considering their side have found the net before the break in eight of their last nine league games on the road, scoring 14 first-half goals in that run.

Predictions

Having won six of their previous seven away league games after leading at half-time, odds of 7/10 (1.70) offer solid value on the guests doing so once again versus Wolves.
