Manchester United - Wolverhampton prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 20, 2025
The 33rd round of the English Premier League will be played on Sunday at Old Trafford, where the local Manchester United will host Wolverhampton. I suggest betting on goals in this confrontation with a good odds.
Match preview
In the last three rounds, Manchester United faced a real test of strength, meeting exclusively with opponents fiercely fighting for the Champions League zone. The outcome is more than troubling: a narrow defeat by Nottingham Forest (0-1), a thrashing by Newcastle away (1-4), and a goalless draw at Old Trafford with city neighbors Manchester City.
These failures have dropped the Red Devils to 14th in the table, and talk of a European autumn can be postponed at least until next season — the gap from the top 6 has reached 16 points. In the last nine Premier League rounds, the Mancunians only managed to take maximum points twice, shared points with opponents three times, and left the field defeated four times — a form far from the ambitions of a club with such history and name.
Vitor Pereira's charges have caught a wave and are delivering, without exaggeration, their best stretch in the current Premier League draw. Four consecutive victories — something that hasn't happened with Wolverhampton since the founding of the EPL. However, it is worth noting that during this stretch, the opponents were mainly representatives of the lower part of the table.
The first three victories were achieved with a minimal margin, but in the last round, the Wolves truly unleashed, dismantling Tottenham at home 4-2. Thanks to a five-match unbeaten streak, the team confidently distanced itself from the relegation zone, having a comfortable advantage of 14 points over the outsiders.
Probable lineups
- Manchester United: Altay Bayındır – Lenny Yoro, Victor Lindelöf, Noussair Mazraoui – Diogo Dalot, Christian Eriksen, Harry Amass, Manuel Ugarte – Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho – Joshua Zirkzee
- Wolverhampton: José Sá – Matt Doherty, Tote Gomes, Emmanuel Agbadou – Rayan Aït-Nouri, João Gomes, Andre, Nelson Semedo – Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Marshall Munetsi – Jørgen Strand Larsen
Match facts and head-to-head

Prediction
Manchester United struggles to score but shows acceptable results in duels with representatives of the lower part of the table: in seven meetings against teams from 16th position and below, the Red Devils failed to hit the opponent's net only once. As for Wolverhampton, the Wolves have scored in five consecutive away matches. Our bet for the match is "Both teams to score" with odds of 1.80.
