Manchester City vs Wolverhampton prediction 22/01/2023

• Date: 22/01/2023 
• Competition: Premier League
• KO: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
• Venue: Etihad Stadium (Manchester)

Following back-to-back defeats on the road, Man City returns to the Etihad Stadium looking to get their Premier League title charge back on track as they host an improving Wolves.

Bundled out of the League Cup at Southampton, Pep Guardiola´s side would suffer a shock 2:1 loss at Man Utd, leaving them some eight points behind leaders Arsenal.

However, a come-from-behind victory against Spurs on Thursday ensured a quick return to winning ways, and Guardiola´s side will know only another victory will do against a Wolves side that has won just one of their previous thirteen away PL matches.

Man City vs Wolves Betting Tips: Man City and over 2.5 match goals / Man City and BTTS

Having suffered surprising losses, we expect the Citizens to get back to winning ways on Sunday having won each of their last five matches against the visitors.

While Wolves claimed a shock win at this venue back in 2019, since then, City have won all five of their subsequent meetings with 16 goals scored and just 3 conceded.

At the Etihad, goals can always be expected, and even at both ends in recent weeks with City seeing BTTS in each of their last five home league games. With Wolves scoring in their last four on the road, it wouldn´t be the greatest surprise to see a similar outcome here with the hosts again defensively vulnerable in their 4:2 win against Spurs.

Yet that big comeback win should prove vital for the home side´s confidence, and we´re confident Pep Guardiola´s champions will keep the pressure on Arsenal with another much-needed victory. Considering their defensive issues and the attacking quality displayed in the second 45 minutes against Spurs, the home win with over 2.5 match goals looks a good choice here, with that outcome occurring in each of City´s last 13 home PL victories.
