Wolverhampton Wanderers welcome the visitors Manchester United in the English Premiere League – Round 33. The match will be held on Tuesday, April, 2nd, at the Molineux Stadium (Wolverhampton).
‘We played against a team that didn't want to play’, – Maurizio Sarri commented on his men’s head-to-head against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Sarri tends to the attacking football, but the fact remains that the ‘Wolves’’ defense was very simplistic. That said, the two hosts’ clashes with top-six sides saw them win, four games ended level, and there were three defeats, which is quite a good record. Moreover, the Wanderers have knocked both Liverpool and Manchester United out of the FA Cup. Hence, they are not expected to fail at least in their tomorrow meeting with Manchester United.

The visitors have signed a permanent deal with Ole Gunnar Solskjær. A risky decision, but expected by many. Under this specialist’s guidance, the ‘Red Devils’ are amazing – they featured a horrible leg in Paris and qualified to the Champions League quarterfinal; they held a great match versus Arsenal and conceded (due to conversion issues), then they were knocked out of the Cup by the ‘Wolves’. In clashes with middle-class teams, Solskjær’s United look bolder than they did under Ferguson, van Gaal, or Mourinho (in terms of the play scheme, opportunities, and conversion), whereas in meetings with toppers, they are more frugal than they used to be. What’s the plan against the ‘Wolves’? Well, on the one hand, the hosts are middleclassers, on the other, this is the best side out of top-six to compete with leaders.
In our view, the visitors should better avoid risking in the beginning, as the ‘Wolves’ boast their counter attacks (take, for example, Ruben Neves, known for his great counter passes). There is no point for the homeside to take risks either, as United’s success often builds on individual performance, accurate leaders’ placement, and allocation of roles and responsibilities (which the team missed a lot under Mourinho’s reign). Thus, we expect a сagey beginning and a draw in the first half-time.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
