[Race Time] Thursday, December 27, 2024 13:30
Wolves are struggling in this season's Premier League campaign and are currently in a precarious position at the bottom three of the table with a dismal record of 3 wins, 3 draws and 11 losses. However, with the appointment of new manager Vitor Pereira, Wolves seem to have found new life. The former Chinese Super League champion led the team to a 3-0 win over Leicester City in his first game in charge, ending a four-game losing streak and bringing the team a long-awaited victory and hope.
Despite Wolves' dismal record in their own stadium, with only 1 win, 1 draw and 6 losses in 8 home matches, conceding a whopping 2.5 goals and being the second-worst defensive team at home in the league, they have shown a brand new look on the road under the tutelage of Vitor Pereira, with a significant improvement in both fighting spirit and strength.
On the contrary, Manchester United's performance this season is far from the fans' expectation. Currently, they are ranked thirteenth in the table with a record of 6 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses, in stark contrast to last season's splendor. In the latest round of the league, Manchester United suffered two consecutive defeats at home to Bournemouth with 0-3. Especially in the defensive end, United's problems are exposed and hidden.
Despite United's recent slump in form, they have shown excellent attacking ability on the road. In their last three away matches, United have won two and lost one, averaging more than two goals per game, which makes people impressed with their performance on the road.
From a comprehensive point of view, the overall performance of Wolves this season is not optimistic, and the home defense is a serious problem. Although Manchester United's overall performance is not good, they have strong attacking power on the road. Therefore, it will be much more difficult for Wolves to win in this match.
