In the game before, an away victory in the Premier League match versus Watford with a 3-1 scoreline.Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Premier League game versus Leeds United in only three days. This game is also played here at Etihad Stadium.

Wolverhampton Wanderers form and stats

Wolverhampton Wanderers failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Liverpool (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 0-1.

Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Burnley.As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Wolverhampton Wanderers's match history for similar games we find two matches. The home team won two of these as expected, one of them by at least two goals.

Wolves have another game that requires travelling in just four days, a Premier League fixture versus Brighton & Hove Albion. A grim diary for them!
Wolves have scored 7 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Wolves as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games.
