LiontipsWolverhampton vs Manchester City. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 English Premier League (September 17, 2022).
Command Analysis
Wolverhampton did not impress in the 2021-2022 season. The team failed to achieve success in the domestic cups and collected only 51 points from 38 Premier League games, finishing in 10th place outside the European club competition zone.
In the summer, the Wolves signed Gonçalo Guedes from Valencia (32 million), Nathan Collins from Burnley (24.3 million), and Hwang Hee-chan from RB Leipzig (16.7 million). Despite this reinforcement, Bruno Lage's side had a slow start to the new Premier League campaign. In the last three games, however, the team is unbeaten - Wolverhampton drew against Fulham (0:0) and Newcastle (1:1) before defeating Southampton (1:0) in the last round.
Jimenez, Kalajdzic, and Chiquinho have been ruled out due to injuries.
Manchester City only made it to the Champions League semifinals last season. After a confident performance at the group stage of the tournament and victories over Sporting CP and Atlético Madrid, the Sky-Blues lost to eventual champions Real Madrid. But the City team triumphed in the Premier League for the second consecutive year, having won 29 out of 38 games.
In the summer, the club signed Erling Haaland (60 million) and Kalvin Phillips (48.75 million). Pep Guardiola's men were off to a good start in the new season. They crushed Sevilla (4:0) and defeated Borussia Dortmund (2:1) in the first two Champions League games and currently lead their group standings. In the first six games of the 2022-23 Premier League, Man City chalked up 14 points and scored 20 goals. They trail Arsenal by 1 point.
