After dominating the Premier League in recent years and winning six of the last seven titles, Manchester City had a disastrous year, at least by their standards. Throughout the season, the Citizens looked like they could miss Europe. However, they consolidated and are now sitting in 4th place with 61 points from 34 matches. Still, they are only one point away from slipping out of the top five and the Champions League spots. Meanwhile, the Citizens managed to secure a trip to the FA Cup Finals with the latest win over Nottingham. In the Finals, they will face off against Crystal Palace and a potential win would at least somewhat save their season.

Wolves are playing their seventh consecutive season in the English top-flight division, where they were exclusively a mid-table team. This year, they had a rough first part of the season, but with six straight wins, they climbed to 13th place. In the remaining four rounds, they can't move significantly up or down since the European spots are 16 points away and the danger zone is 20 points away. Still, there is significant improvement under coach Vitor Pereira, who arrived at the club on 19th December.

Manchester City vs Wolves pick: Over 2.5 goals

Manchester City are in excellent form, as they won six and drew two in the last eight while scoring 17 goals - 2.125 per game. So, scoring at least once at home is a must! Meanwhile, defensively, they had their problems, keeping a clean sheet in only four of the last ten matches.

Wolves are on a fantastic six-game winning streak and scoring 13 goals - 2.17 per game. Also, away from home, they have been excellent for this bet as both teams scored 14 out of 21 games - 67%!

In the previous h2h game, Manchester City won 2:1. Moreover, both teams scored in the last three h2h games. Considering the trend in the previous h2h games, both teams' fantastic offensive displays in recent matches, and all the above, we firmly believe both teams will score in this Premier League tie.
