Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Molineux Stadium will host Thursday’s Boxing Day clash between Wolverhampton and Manchester United. The Wolves aim to build on a 3-0 win over Leicester City which saw them put an end to a four-game losing run, but they will have a big fish to fry against Ruben Amorim’s troops. A man to watch in the home team will be Matheus Cunha, who produced a brilliant display against in the King Power Stadium triumph, while Algeria defender Rayan Ait-Nouri is back from suspension.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Bournemouth. As Manchester United defeated Wolverhampton 4-3 in their last meeting at Molineux Stadium, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Both Alex Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund should be recalled to Man Utd’s starting XI, while defender Matthijs de Ligt should recover in time to face Vitor Pereira’s troops.
