Manchester United host Wolves in the English Premier League on Monday night and we take a look at the game from a betting angle.

Manchester United are currently 7^th on the log on 31 points from 18 matches. They have been in good form of late winning 4 and drawing 2 of their last 6 and last time out they beat Burnley 3-1 at home, having been a bit disappointing before that in drawing 1-1 at Newcastle.

Manchester United have won 5 and drawn 1 of their 9 home matches this season and they are on a winning streak of 3 in a row in front of their own fans. United have scored 17 times at Old Trafford while conceding 14 with an average of 3.4 goals a game in total. 5 of the 9 Manchester United home matches would have delivered profits had you backed over 2.5 goals.

Wolves are currently 9^th on the table on 25 points from their 18 matches. Their last game was a goalless draw at home to Chelsea and before that they beat Brighton 1-0 on the road. Finding the back of the net has been tough for Wolves recently and that goal against Brighton was the only one they have scored in 6 matches, but they have only conceded 2 goals in that time as well with 3 goalless draws in their last 6 games.

Wolves have won 4, drawn 2 and lost 3 of their 9 away matches and those away games have averaged 1.7 goals each with Wolves scoring 8 goals and conceding 7 on the road and had you been backing over 2.5 goals in each of their away matches, you would be heading to the bank manager for a loan as only 1 of the games has reached the 3 goal mark.

Manchester United won the reverse fixture 1-0 at Wolves and last season they did the double over Wolves beating them by 1 goal on each occasion.

Wolves 19/4

Suggested Bet: Manchester United Clean Sheet, YES, at 9/10

Wolves have really been struggling in front of goals and I think Manchester United will keep them out for the full 90 minutes.

Suggested Bet: Correct Score, Manchester United 2 Wolves 0 at 11/2

Wolves normally give a good account of themselves when they play United, but I think United will be too strong and can win this game by a 2 goal margin.

An alternative if you are looking perhaps for a bet at a lower price but not narrowed down to 1 score line is Manchester United on the Handicap of (-1) at 16/10. Any winning margin of 2 goals or more for the home team will have you in the pay out queue.
