Wolves Preview and News
Wolverhampton Wanderers kick off their 2025/26 campaign with the same goal at mind – to survive. Last season the manager Vitor Pereira did a job that was good enough, but every season in the Prem is difficult.
This summer Wolves made some signings on the summer market again. The club signed two of Celta Vigo’s players – Jorgen Strand Larsen and Fer Lopez. Meanwhile they also acquired the services of Fluminense’s Jhon Arias and AZ Alkmaar’s David Moller Wolfe.
Meanwhile some very important players left the club. The team’s star Matheus Cunha moved to Manchester United, while Rayan Aït-Nouri moved to Manchester City. Nelson Semedo, Pablo Sarabia and Chiquinho left the club as well. It’s about to be seen if they are going to be weakened by these departures.
Manchester City Preview and News
After a disappointing 2024/25 season, Manchester City kick off the campaign with fresh hopes for something better. Pep Guardiola decided to reshape the squad with some important signings. Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Aït-Nouri, Rayan Cherki and James Trafford all decided to move to the Etihad. Meanwhile, the legendary Kevin De Bruyne said goodbye to the fans and made a switch to Napoli.
It’d be interesting to see how Guardiola will reshape his attack and midfield with the new signings. Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush are expected to start in the attack, supported by Ryan Cherki. At the same time, Tijjani Reijnders is expected to become a very important figure in the midfield.
Man City’s Ballon d’Or winner Rodri will miss the visit to Molineux. The Spanish international received a new injury, so he won’t play against the Wolves.
Head-to-Head Matches
Wolves and Manchester City have 27 games against each other. The Cityzens won 18 of them while the Wanderers have 5 wins.
Wolves vs Manchester City Betting Preview
For Manchester City it won’t be easy to win at the Molineux, but they are favourites to secure the three points here. Pep Guardiola’s team made some important signings this summer, so we expect to see some fresh energy in the team. Meanwhile Wolves sold some of their best players which seriously weakened them.
Erling Haaland remains the main threat for Wolves’ defence, but players like Omar Marmoush, Rayan Cherki and Jeremy Doku could cause a lot of trouble as well. The Wolves will try to answer with Hwang Hee-Chan, Fabio Silva and Joao Gomes, who will have the task of scoring goals for the hosts.
