One of these teams’ strength contrasts with the other one’s frail present. However, nothing is guaranteed in soccer, and for this reason the match between Manchester City vs Wolverhampton will stoke interest in the Premier League among all supporters of one of the most thrilling competitions in the world.
These teams will battle on January 22 at the Etihad Stadium, where the home team has lost just one match all season. However, City recently lost to United in the Manchester derby, which adds to the struggle they experienced to overcome Tottenham in the following game.
This caught the attention of their coach, Pep Guardiola, who questioned the team’s and the fans’ motivation. Given that it is obvious that this season’s goal must be the conquest of the Champions League, we will have to watch how the crowd reacts to the team. They will compete against Wolverhampton, a team that has only gotten 6 points out of a possible 27 in their dismal away season.

Betting on Manchester City
Pep Guardiola knew that his squad was struggling as soon as the heartbreaking loss in the Manchester derby against Manchester United was finished, and he realized that if nothing changed, Arsenal would win the English league. And he confirmed it even more emphatically after the hard-fought victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
Beyond some exaggeration, the analysis is not entirely incorrect as, while City has faltered occasionally, Arsenal appears to be securely on course for the prized championship.
We have the problem that we have had four Premier Leagues in five years, and Arsenal have had nothing for two decades. Our reality is very comfortable, and our rivals won’t wait.
Pep Guardiola
We should highlight City’s home performance, which saw them win 7, draw 1 (against Everton), and lose 1 (against Brentford). Erling Haaland leads the club with 21 goals, and they have scored 48 goals overall; however, in their previous three games, they have only managed to score one goal per game.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Ederson; Kyle Walker, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Aké, João Cancelo; Kevin de Bruyne, Rodri, Bernardo Silva; Riyad Mahrez, Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish.
Betting on Wolverhampton
At Wolverhampton, they are hoping that the change of direction they took during the World Cup break has had an effect. The arrival of Julen Lopetegui, a coach with a strong past as coach of the Spanish national team and Real Madrid, will try to get the Wolves out of the bad position in which they find themselves.
Ever since the coach change, they have taken 7 of the 12 points at stake, with important victories over Everton and West Ham, teams with which they are fighting in the lower part of the standings.
With those wins, Wolves moved up to sixteenth place and 17 points, two more than the three teams at the bottom of the table: West Ham, Everton and Southampton.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): José Sá; Nelson Semedo, Nathan Collins, Max Kilman, Hugo Bueno; Matheus, Rubén Neves, Mario Lemina; Hwang Hee-Chan, Matheus Cunha, Daniel Podence.
JefeBet Prediction
There are not many chances for Wolverhampton to win at the Etihad. At JefeBet, we think Manchester City will score multiple goals to get back to winning.
Prediction: Manchester City wins 3-0.
