Wolverhampton Wanderers hosts Manchester City in round 19 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Friday, December 27th at Molineux Stadium (Wolverhampton)
Wolverhampton became the only team that managed to keep a clean sheet at Etihad in 2019. It is an awesome achievement, but the Wolves were wildly lucky then. They are unlikely to such an achievement in the upcoming match against Man City. After that success, the Wolves kept a clean sheet in only one out of ten matches in the Premier League. The men of Espirito Santo didn’t concede from West Ham, which was experiencing problems at that time. In general, Wolverhampton kept a clean sheet in only three of the last 15 official games.

The defense is still the weak link of Man City. Whatever Guardiola would come up with, his men continue to fail in defense. Yes, the Citizens managed to keep a clean sheet in the away game with Arsenal, but it was the only “dry” match over the past two months. After the game with the Gunners, Man City conceded not only from Leicester but also from Oxford - a club from the 3rd division of England. In general, Man City gained only one clean sheet in its last 13 games, so the high coefficient for its goal conceded is surprising.
Wolverhampton still makes hamburger of strong rivals, as it did in the last season. Actually, the Wolves are already included in the cohort of top teams. And if the men of Espirito Santo periodically lose points, they manage to score regularly. Currently, the Wolves have the second-longest scoring streak in the Premier League after Liverpool. The team scored for 18 games in a row. And if you take into account all the official matches, the last time the Wolves failed to score was in the September game with Braga. Since then, the team of Espirito has not left the field without goals for 20 games in a row. Cool statistics, right? Therefore, Wolves’ goal in Man City’s net is to be expected. But I do not think that they will keep a clean sheet with the champion of England. Nevertheless, that match was the only one for the Citizens in which they failed to score this season. In the remaining 27 games, the men of Guardiola successfully breached the opponents' defense, often scoring two or more goals. Finally, Man City has hammered 13 goals in the last four matches. And even Leicester, whose defense is the best in the Premier League, fell under the onslaught of the champion. Therefore, I expect the Citizens to score in the 20th away game in a row.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
