LiontipsManchester City vs Wolverhampton. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 English Premier League (January 22, 2023).
Command Analysis
In the last Premier League match, Manchester City defeated Tottenham with a score of 4:2. It wasn't a very confident victory - Pep Guardiola's side had to make a comeback from two goals down. The City team is five points behind Arsenal now, but the Gunners have a game in hand.
The Sky-Blues won the last five games against the Wolves. Moreover, they lost only one of the previous 16 home games in the Premier League. Currently, they have 42 points from 13 wins and three draws.
Mendy won't be joining his team this weekend.
On Tuesday, Wolverhampton got knocked out of the FA Cup following their loss to Liverpool (0:1). In the Premier League though, the Wolves have lost only one game since Julen Lopetegui became the manager.
The Wolves have 17 points and sit in 17th place in the table, and they need to put their best foot forward if they want to retain their position in the elite. On average, the team scores only 0.67 goals per game.
Traore, Neto, Kalajdzic, and Chiquinho are sidelined through injuries.

Tip and bets
Man City are head and shoulders above the Wolves. We do not expect a sensation here - even Lopetegui's talent won't be enough to save the visitors from a defeat. Man City should win comfortably.
Our prediction — Asian handicap (-2) to Manchester City
Manchester City won four of the last five head-to-head games by at least three goals. The support of the stands will push Gaurdiola's side forward, so we expect the hosts to win by a wide margin.
Second bet — Manchester City to win by 3 goals
