Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester United Prediction – Premier League Prediction & Betting Tips 26/12/2024
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester United Premier League Prediction Match Details
On Thursday, Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United team will travel to Molineux Stadium to face Wolverhampton for the exciting Boxing Day fixture. Can Vitor Pereira continue on his dream start to life in the Premier League and capitalize on a poor United team?
Wolverhampton Wanderers Preview & Form
Wolverhampton management made a huge decision by sacking manager Gary O’Neil a couple of weeks ago and appointed Vitor Pereira, who has made the perfect start to his managerial tenure in the Premier League by securing an impressive 3-0 victory over Leicester City last weekend with all three goals coming in the first half via Goncalo Guedes, Rodrigo Gomes, and Matheus Cunha. The victory brought an end to a four-match losing streak and also moved them to just two points away from escaping the relegation zone, as they now sit 18th in the Premier League. Under Vitor Pereira in his debut game, their defense has looked sharp as they kept their first clean sheet in their last six games.
Vitor Pereira will now be hoping his side can also light up victories in front of their supporting fans again, with his side having produced only one win this season at the Molineux Stadium. Their last home game ended Gary O’Neil after Wolverhampton suffered a 2-1 defeat against Ipswich Town.
Manchester United Preview & Form
Manchester United continues to experience inconsistency since the appointment of former Sporting CP coach Ruben Amorim as boss last month, as he has managed just four victories in his opening nine matches across all competitions. In their most recent game, the Red Devils were thrashed 3-0 at Old Trafford by Bournemouth for the second consecutive season. The Portuguese tactician has now seen his side experience back-to-back defeats for the second time since arriving after his side also crashed out of the Carabao Cup competitions against Tottenham. Their terrible run of form this season sees them sit 13th in the table and they are now nine points from the Champions League places.
Since the beginning of the Amorim era at the club, United has also experienced a mixed taste of form in their away games, with Amorim’s first five road games seeing two wins, two losses, and a draw. However, they will draw confidence after winning their Manchester Derby at the Etihad Stadium in their last league away game.
