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 7th 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 9th 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.

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.
