Man City has encountered a rough patch lately, showing limited signs of a comeback. In contrast, Wolves have been prolific in scoring, especially in away games. This makes Both Teams to Score (BTTS) a favorable betting option at the Etihad Stadium, with odds set at 1.96. The focus is on leveraging Wolves' attacking form against a vulnerable Man City defense, making BTTS a potential highlight for bettors.

H2H - A Lot of Recent Goals


Man City have a 58-50 advantage against Wolves, alongside 25 draws. 

Man City Shipping Goals


Man City have fallen seven points behind Arsenal in the Premier League title race. Pep Guardiola’s side have drawn three and lost once in their last four.

City drew three league matches in a row before a 10-1 FA Cup win over Exeter and a 2-0 EFL Cup victory at Newcastle. Back-to-back defeats followed, including a 2-0 Premier League loss at Man United.

The Citizens’ patchy form continued with a shock 3-1 Champions League loss at Bodo/Glimt. City allowed 1.59 XG, conceded three goals in 58 minutes and Rayan Cherki pulled back a late consolation goal. 

Wolves Improving in Attack


Wolves have improved in recent matches and are undefeated in five consecutive matches. The Old Gold have scored 11 goals during this period. 

Rob Edwards’ side drew 1-1 at Man United and Everton, either side of a 3-0 home win against West Ham. Wanderers continued their upturn in form with a 6-1 FA Cup victory against Shrewsbury.

The Midlands outfit extended their unbeaten run with a 0-0 home draw against Newcastle. Wolves had six shots, allowed 0.94 XG and held on for a point.

Man City (4-1-4-1): Gianluigi Donnarumma; Rico Lewis, Abdukodir Khusanov, Max Alleyne, Rayan Ait Nouri; Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Tijjani Reijnders, Phil Foden, Antoine Semenyo; Erling Haaland

Midfielder Nico Gonzalaez and defender Matheus Nunes are injury doubts.
