Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City preview

The visitors will be confident of claiming another victory although Wolves could make life tough for Pep Guardiola's men.

The side coached by Bruno Lage have conceded just four times this term, boasting the best defensive record in the division so far, although they have faced generally quite modest opponents.

Nevertheless, against a City side who played in midweek and were made to work extremely hard by Borussia Dortmund, Wolves might be able to at least keep the score down against the Premier League champions.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City tips and predictions

City to win and under 2.5 goals looks like a tempting value bet at 3/1 (4.00) while opposing a goal before the 25th minute at 5/6 (1.83) could also be of interest.

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
