It’s now or never for Wolves. Two points from 14 games already means they are going to need to break all records to survive, but if they are going to do the unthinkable, they must win their home games. Starting Monday.
Ruben Amorim is on his best run since taking charge at Old Trafford. Fifteen points in eight games has them just six points behind second, but there’s an air of frustration that the return could, heck, should have been more.
A draw on Thursday night at home to West Ham highlighted many of the issues that had been prevalent throughout Amorim’s time in charge. A lack of bite in the midfield, poor execution in the final third and conceding sloppy, highly avoidable goals.
Monday is a chance for both teams to get some much-needed momentum. Only three points will suffice, and it could be a cracker for this exact reason.

Bet 1: Manchester United to Win
It feels impossible to suggest that Wolves can get anything from this. No goals in their last four. Seven losses in a row. One point at home all season. And at the bottom of just about every positive attacking metric in the league. It’s bleak at Molineux right now.
The art of scoring within the group is well and truly lost, and little has changed since Rob Edwards took charge in the middle of November.
Man United have been solid enough away from home (nine points in seven games) that 7/10 looks a huge price. In fact, there’s very little chance this price will still be available come kick-off, so if you’re getting involved, do it quickly.
Bet 2: Both Teams to Score No
If Wolves are going to end their streak of four games without a goal, then you’d probably predict that it would come against a team that’s conceded in each of their last seven games.
The reality is that Wolves are totally void of any attacking threat. Their xG of 12.27 is 5.27 above the seven goals they've scored in 14 games. But even though they are underperforming, they’d still be right at the bottom of the table for goals scored.
Historically, this hasn’t been a fixture that breeds goals either. Both teams to score has landed just once (February 2024) in their last eight Premier League meetings.
As a neutral, it’d be great for Wolves to make a game of this, but it’s head over heart and 43/40 from the bookies for BTTS No is too big not to jump on.
Bet 3: Luke Shaw to Make 2+ Tackles
Man United’s defensive frailties have led us to the tackle stats. Teams that give up possession more often than they should make their players prime candidates here. And that’s exactly what we’ve found with Luke Shaw.
The England international has been in good form this season, cementing his place on the left side of Amorim’s back three. He’s also been highly consistent in his tackles per match stats.
Shaw has made two or more in three of his last four and covered it eight times in 14 games. Man United should dominate the ball, but they’ll be vulnerable at times, and this usually creates a pathway for players like Shaw to boost tackle stats.
Odds of 4/5 look just on the right side of exciting, and as part of the wider bet builder, are a great addition, boosting the final odds up to 5/1 for this 3-fold bet builder.
