Team strength assessment
MU are going through a difficult run of games under Ruben Amorim, with their away form unimpressive and several key players absent due to injury. They were recently held to a 0-0 draw by Bournemouth at Old Trafford, which has left them struggling to regain their winning touch. On the other side of the front line, Wolves are slowly regaining their form under Vitor Pereira, especially after an impressive 3-0 win over Leicester, which helped them climb closer to safety. Although Wolves have home advantage, MU still has an impressive head-to-head record with 4 consecutive wins against this team, which makes the match more unpredictable.
Predicted lineup, Wolves could field goalkeeper José Sá and the central defender duo Kilman and Collins. The midfield will feature Neves, João Gomes and Lemina, while up front, Neto, Cunha and Rodrigo Gomes will be the spearheads. For Manchester United, De Gea remains the first choice in goal, with the central defender duo Varane and Martinez and Dalot and Malacia on the wings. Midfielder Casemiro will form the defensive foundation, supporting Bruno Fernandes and Eriksen, while Rashford, Antony and Martial will be the ones responsible for scoring goals.
Although Manchester United have the advantage in recent head-to-head record, Wolves are also in quite stable form and will certainly not give up easily. The prediction for this match is that the score could be 1-1, as both teams have problems to solve in the squad.
