A year ago, the club from Molineux was already on the brink of relegation. Back then, the appointment of Vítor Pereira helped, as he managed to lift the team to 42nd place with sixteen points. However, now the Portuguese coach has already been dismissed due to a disastrous start to the new campaign. Incidentally, this didn’t help, and the players continued to lose. Both against Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest, they finished 0-1.
Six months ago, Manchester United lost the Europa League final. That was their missed chance to save a season that, domestically, delivered the same 42 points as their current opponent. Rúben Amorim kept his post, but in the new season he already “stood out” by being knocked out of the League Cup by semi-amateur Grimsby.
It seemed that, at least in the Premier League, things improved in the second part of autumn, but in November there were only draws against Nottingham Forest and Tottenham, and they lost to Everton while having a numerical advantage from the 13th minute! On the other hand, they managed to beat Crystal Palace 2-1. But with West Ham, it ended 1-1.
The outsider scores only 0.5 goals per game on average, conceding much more—2.07. Mbeumo and his new teammates average 1.57 goals scored but concede 1.5 in return.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have lost eight matches in a row
36% of Wolverhampton’s matches end with both teams scoring, and the average total goals per match is 2.57.
Manchester United have won one match out of five
71% of Manchester United’s matches end with both teams scoring, and the average total goals per match is 3.07.
Wolverhampton Wanderers (probable lineup): Johnstone – Meller Wolf, Gomes, Krejci, Agbadou, Tshatshua – Munetsi, Andre, Gomes – Arokodare, Larsen.
