  • Wolves winless in pre-season, showing poor form.
  • Man City in strong form, unbeaten in 17 of last 18 games.
  • City expected to win with over 2.5 goals; BTTS likely.

Wolves vs Man City Preview


Wolves have not particularly lit the stage alight during pre-season while Manchester City have returned to their free-scoring selves. I expect a goal-fest with City to win.


  • Wolves have lost 3 consecutive matches.
  • Wolves have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 6 games.
  • Wolves have seen over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 matches.
  • Man City have won 6 of their last 7 games.
  • Man City have seen BTTS in 2 of their last 3 matches.
  • Man City have seen over 2.5 goals in 4 consecutive matches.

Head to Head


Manchester City won their last matcha against Wolves 1-0 in May this year.

Wolves Form


Wolves had a big downturn in form late in the 2024/25 Premier League season and were winless in four games. Wanderers lost three consecutive matches before a final-day 1-1 draw against Brentford.

The Old Gold’s winless run carried into pre-season with a 1-1 draw against Stoke. Wolves then lost three games in a row, starting with defeats to Lens 3-1 and Girona 2-1.

Vítor Pereira’s side also lost 1-0 at home against Celta Vigo on Saturday. Wolves were second best and conceded the winner on 59 minutes.

Man City Form 


Man City are in hard-to-beat long-term form and are unbeaten in 17 of their last 18 matches, winning 13.

City were on a five-match winning streak in all competitions, scoring 18 goals. That run ended with a 2-2 Club World Cup draw against Al-Hilal and eventual defeat on penalties.

Pep Guardiola’s outfit played one pre-season friendly and comfortably beat Palermo 3-0. The Citizens had 2.22 XG and Erling Haaland opened the scoring before Tijjani Reijnders struck a second-half brace.

Verdict

Wolves look underprepared for the 2025/26 Premier League season and are unlikely to contain Man City. Both sides score and concede often and an away win with over 2.5 goals and BTTS are the best picks.
