The final match of Round 22 of the English Premier League sees Manchester United head to the Molineux Stadium for a clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers. The home team are currently sitting in mid-table mediocrity, while Manchester United are just 3 points above them. If Wolves win this match, they will leapfrog their opponents due to a slightly better goal difference. If you are considering betting on this match, take five minutes to check out my in-depth prediction below. Let's get to it!
🏆 Wolves vs Manchester United: Who Will Win?
Wolves were one of the names bandied about in discussions of relegation, but they have managed to find some form and are under no threat of relegation to the Championship. They are currently sitting in 11th place with 29 points under their belts, and are on a four-match unbeaten streak - 3 wins and 1 draw. When it comes to the EPL form table, there are only five teams above them, which are Chelsea, Bournemouth, Man City, Tottenham, and Liverpool.
Manchester United are not having the kind of season that their fans would have hoped for. They are out of Europe completely and are sitting in 8th in the EPL, 11 points adrift of a coveted Champions League spot. The best that they can probably hope for come May is a spot in the Europa League - although the Conference League might suit them better. From the previous six rounds of EPL matches, only Newcastle and Brentford sit beneath them in the form table.
Many will probably back United to win based on their reputation alone, but I am actually going to predict a win for Wolves. They have been playing some decent football lately, and I can see them nicking the win.

Wolves vs Manchester United: Match Winner Odds
When you check out the match winner odds, you will see that both teams have odds that are above 2.00, with United being the slight favourites. This tells us that the bookies are pretty unsure as to which way this match will go. Both teams will be heading into this match pretty confident about being able to claim the points that are on offer. Whether you would like to bet on a home win, an away win, or a stalemate, below are the odds:
Team | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Wolves | 2.62 | 2.62 | 2.70 | 2.85 | 2.75 |
Draw | 3.45 | 3.45 | 3.65 | 3.65 | 3.55 |
Manchester United | 2.38 | 2.38 | 2.45 | 2.50 | 2.45 |
Wolves vs Manchester United: Both Teams To Score Odds
The bookmakers are favouring both teams to score in this match, and this does not really surprise me as both teams currently have a negative goal difference. This tells us that they have struggled to keep the ball out of their net all season. However, it must be pointed out that Wolves have managed three clean sheets in their last six matches, so this is something you might want to think about. Below you can see the Both Teams to Score odds:
Team | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Yes | 1.55 | 1.55 | 1.53 | 1.63 | 1.63 |
No | 2.26 | 2.26 | 2.25 | 2.23 | 2.23 |
Wolves vs Manchester United: Over/Under 2.5 Goals Odds
While the bookies are certain that both teams will find the back of the net, they are a bit more uncertain when it comes to whether there will be over or under 2.5 goals in the match. They are slightly in favour of there being three or more goals in the match. If you want to put any money on this market, then check out the over/under 2.5 goals odds in the table below:
Team | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Over 2.5 | 1.67 | 1.67 | 1.70 | 1.77 | 1.78 |
Under 2.5 | 2.03 | 2.03 | 2.10 | 2.05 | 2.07 |
✔️ Wolves vs Manchester United - Betting Tips
It is always wise to check out some betting tips from experienced bettors, which is why I am now going to give you some of my football betting tips for this clash between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manchester United.
- Tip 1: Bet on Wolves to win: I think this match is one of those that could end up going either way and although the bookies are favouring United, my money will be on Wolves. I have been impressed with how they have been playing as of late, while United's performances have left a lot to be desired. Yes, they got a good comeback win against Villa, but it seems like it was a flash in the pan. Wolves are playing the better football, and LeoVegas Sports are offering odds of 2.85 for a home win.
- Tip 2: Bet on over 2.5 goals: The bookies are slightly unsure about this market, but I recommend that you consider betting on there being 3 goals or more. Yes, from their previous 10 matches, more than 2.5 goals have been scored on just the one occasion, but United are a lot more vulnerable nowadays than they were in previous matches, so are definitely there for the taking. If you want to bet on under 2.5 goals, then 10Bet are offering odds of 2.10.
- Tip 3: Bet on Wolves to win 2-1: If you are the kind of punter who likes to put money on the result of a match, then my predicted score for this game is Wolves to nick the points with a 2-1 victory. If you agree with this scoreline, then Betiton Sport are offering odds of 9.00 at the moment.
- Tip 4: Bruno Fernandes to be booked: If you want to make a Bet Builder and include a player to be booked in it, then I recommend that you opt for Bruno Fernandes. He is one of the most petulant players around and will surround the referee whenever he thinks Manchester United has been wronged, which is nearly every decision that does not go their way. I can see him being booked for dissent again, and BetUK Sports are offering odds of 3.20.
1️⃣Wolves Update
Wolves are in 11th place in the table with 29 points from the 21 matches that they have played, and they are currently one of the form teams in the league, having picked up 11 points from the last 18 that have been on offer. In their last six matches, they have only conceded an average of one goal per game, so United might find it hard to break their opponents down. United fans will take heart from the fact that Wolves have only beaten them once in their previous ten matches. Below you can see the results from their previous five EPL games:
Last 5 Premier League Games | |

Gary O'Neill has done a wonderful job at Wolves, but he will head into this clash with United missing a few key players - due to suspension, the Africa Cup of Nations, and the Asia Cup. You can see their absentees in the table below:
Player | Reason |
---|---|
Hee-Chan Hwang | International Duty |
Mario Lemina | International Duty |
Rayan Ait-Nouri | International Duty |
Boubacar Traore | International Duty |

2️⃣Manchester United Update
Manchester United fans are probably waiting for this season to finish as it has been one to forget for them. They are no longer in any type of European competition, having finished bottom of their Champions League group, and can forget about qualifying for next season's competition. They are currently in 8th place, but their form has been rotten - they have picked up just 5 points from the last 18 that have been on offer. Below you can see their last five EPL results:
Last 5 Premier League Games | |

Erik Ten Hag used to have a long absentee list that he liked to moan about, despite United having spent more than most other teams in recent years. It has eased up a little bit now, and below you can see their absent players for this Wolves clash:
Player | Reason |
---|---|
Tyrell Malacia | Unknown Injury |
