Wolverhampton Wanderers form and stats
The story so far in the Premier League for Wolverhampton Wanderers at their home stadium (Molineux Stadium) is 3 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats. The Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno Espírito Santo might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Wolverhampton Wanderers's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Manchester City (placed 3rd). In the game before, an away victory match versus Norwich City with a 2-1 scoreline.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 9 games. 12 goals have been conceded.
Manchester City form and stats
Manchester City's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Manchester City, who have the most scored goals (50) in Premier League, collect 19 points from their 9 away matches in the Premier League. 6 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 2 defeats). It’s been three wins in a row for Manchester City on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.
Two travels in a row for Manchester City, whose manager Guardiola could celebrate last time after the Premier League win against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Leicester City.
Manchester City made it very difficult for themselves, when Ederson got a red card in the 12th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Manchester City won the match 1-0!
Manchester City are a potent attacking force on the road with their 25 goals in 9 league games. As opposed to that, Manchester City have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
