Wolves 2-0 Manchester United

Current streaks

Recent form

Wolves

Wolves' recent form has been a mixed bag, with a notable run of four consecutive defeats sandwiched between two impressive victories. Their latest outing saw them secure a convincing 3-0 away win against Leicester, ending their losing streak on a high note. The team's defensive frailties have been evident, conceding 13 goals in their last six matches, with a particularly heavy 4-0 defeat to Everton. However, Wolves have shown potency in attack, scoring 11 goals during this period, including a 4-1 thrashing of Fulham. Remarkably, all of their recent matches have featured over 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring in 67% of the games. Despite their current 18th position in the league, Wolves' ability to score freely (1.83 goals per game) offers a glimmer of hope for their survival prospects, though their leaky defence (2.17 goals conceded per game) remains a significant concern.

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent form has been notably poor, with the Red Devils currently languishing in 13th place in the Premier League. Their last six matches have seen them lose four and win just two, conceding a worrying 14 goals whilst scoring only nine. The team's defensive frailties are particularly evident, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six outings. United have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with five of their last six matches featuring over 2.5 goals, including a seven-goal thriller against Tottenham in the League Cup. Their most recent result, a 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth, caps off a concerning run of two consecutive league losses. Despite these struggles, United did manage to secure a notable 2-1 away victory against local rivals Manchester City, offering a glimmer of hope amidst an otherwise troubling period for the club.

Recent home/away form

Wolves

Wolves' recent home form has been concerning, with the team experiencing a challenging run at Molineux. They have lost four of their last six home matches, including their most recent three, indicating a worrying trend. The Bournemouth match stands out as particularly high-scoring, with Wolves conceding four goals in a 4-2 defeat. Despite their struggles, Wolves have managed to score in each of their last six home games, averaging 1.5 goals per match. However, their defence has been leaky, conceding an average of 2 goals per game. The high percentage of matches (83%) seeing both teams score and over 2.5 goals suggests that Wolves' home games have been entertaining affairs, albeit often at their own expense. Their only clean sheet and victory in this period came against Southampton, offering a glimmer of hope amidst an otherwise difficult spell at home.

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent away form has been inconsistent, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches on the road. The Red Devils have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in any of these games and conceding an average of 1.83 goals per match. Their attack has been more promising, scoring 1.5 goals per game, but it hasn't been enough to overcome their defensive frailties. A particularly high-scoring encounter was their recent 4-3 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup, contributing to the fact that 67% of their away matches have seen over 2.5 goals. United have shown resilience in some tough fixtures, notably securing a 2-1 victory against local rivals Manchester City, but their overall form away from home remains a concern, especially considering their current 13th position in the league table.
