Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers prediction and betting tips on May 4, 2024
Game Prediction
On May 4, 2024, Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers will play in the 36th round of the English Premier League. Pep Guardiola's team has not yet guaranteed themselves another title, as Arsenal and Liverpool are competing fiercely. The visitors are coming only to boost their self-esteem.
Key statistics and trends:
- Holland and his teammates haven't lost in all competitions since December 6th. They even had two draws with Real Madrid in regular time.
- In their last two home matches in the Premier League, they won convincingly: 4-1 against Aston Villa and 5-1 against Luton.
- Wolverhampton has not won away four times: they have two losses and two draws.
Manchester City - form analysis: they need to continue winning.
The "Citizens" were disappointed to be eliminated by Real Madrid. Specifically, Lunin, who only conceded from De Bruyne on the same pitch, after Rudiger's mishap, and then outdid Ederson in the penalty shootout. Clearly, favorites who suffered such a blow were close to being eliminated in the cup semifinals. Fortunately, Chelsea, who missed numerous chances (10 shots, half on target) and missed Bernardo Silva at the end, was their opponent. However, in their recent matches, there were clear victories over Brighton and Nottingham Forest.
Wolverhampton Wanderers - form analysis: struggling to get into the game.
The "Wolves" also suffered a blow with a defeat in the knockout matches format. In the quarterfinals of the FA Cup, Coventry City from the Championship beat them 3-2 on their own turf. After that, their players who had managed to accumulate 40+ points by April can't seem to or don't want to perform well. Only draws with underdogs Burnley and Nottingham Forest, losses to more prestigious teams like Aston Villa, West Ham, Arsenal, and Bournemouth. Only in the last round did they manage to beat weak Luton 2-1.
