Man City vs. Wolverhampton picks and predictions
Prediction
Man City 3, Wolverhampton 0
Moneyline (ML)
PASS.
There is no need to really consider anything on the moneyline. Wolverhampton (+2700) is rightfully a massive underdog, having played poorly over the last month.
However, the Wanderers did beat City 2-1 at home earlier in the season and have wins over Chelsea and Tottenham. They are good enough to pull off a draw, but considering City’s form, there’s no value in backing that either. AVOID the moneyline in this battle.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 3.5 (+104).
Wolverhampton has gone Under in 6 of its last 7 games. Despite having averaged 1.37 goals per game, the Wanderers have actually been held scoreless in 2 of their last 3, and they will be facing a top-tier defense as well.
While City lost 2-1 to Wolverhampton earlier in the season, that match ended with just 1.3 combined expected goals. City’s offense has been electric as of late, but it has still gone Under this total in 7 of its last 12 games.
With that in mind, back UNDER 3.5 (+104).
