Manchester City take on the visitors Wolverhampton in the round 35 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Friday, April 2nd at Etihad Stadium (Manchester).
Manchester City have spoiled everyone with their relentless success. In 2023, they even completed the treble, and last season they still managed to edge out a strong Arsenal in the Premier League title race. But this time around, mounting issues have led to a major setback — in the Champions League, the favorites struggled through the group stage and crashed out in the first knockout round, losing both legs to an underperforming Real Madrid. Domestically, their title defense was over long ago. Still, there’s something left to fight for. Over the weekend, they claimed a comfortable win against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-final. More importantly, their recent league form has stabilized — four wins and a goalless draw in the Manchester derby have helped them reassert control. With Kevin De Bruyne returning to full fitness and Phil Foden in inspired form, City remain a dangerous side despite a turbulent year.

Wolverhampton turned things around after a managerial change. The Wolves were battling relegation two seasons ago before Julen Lopetegui stepped in and guided them to safety. But just before the 2023/2024 campaign kicked off, the Spaniard unexpectedly walked away, reportedly frustrated by the club’s lack of ambition in the transfer market. His replacement, Gary O’Neil, initially steadied the ship and delivered a respectable campaign. However, results began to slide in the current season, and by the halfway point he was replaced by Vítor Pereira. Under the Portuguese coach, performances improved dramatically, and by spring Wolves were comfortably clear of the drop zone. March and April saw a string of victories, including back-to-back wins over struggling giants Tottenham and Manchester United. Their attack has come alive in recent weeks, with Matheus Cunha and Pedro Neto providing a constant threat in transition. Last weekend’s 3-0 demolition of Leicester confirmed that Wolves are finishing the season on a high note.
Manchester City have won 7 of the last 8 meetings between the sides, including both encounters in 2024. City are, unsurprisingly, the overwhelming favorite here. But the visitors are in fine form themselves, so backing both teams to score looks like solid value.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
