PREMIER LEAGUE MONDAY: We preview Monday’s Premier League game with a recommended BETDAQ bet and extended stats for WOLVES v MAN U.
WOLVES V MANCHESTER UNITED
8pm What a cracker we have for Monday Night Football this week! Wolves host Manchester United after beating them twice here last season – once in the FA Cup and once in the Premier League. United started their campaign with a bang with a 4-0 hammering of Chelsea; but this is a totally different challenge tonight. As we seen last season, this is a hard place to come and win – are United up to the task?
The match odds at the time of writing currently trade; Wolves 3.3, Manchester United 2.48 and the draw is 3.4. While Wolves won both games here between the sides last season, it’s also worth noting that they came away from Old Trafford with a draw. United haven’t exactly added to their squad during the summer; although Harry Maguire is obviously a big help at the back. We see can United struggling to outscore Wolves again here though and 2.48 looks a little short.
Wolves were very impressive last season, especially in front of their own fans and although they were only able to come away from Leicester with a 0-0 draw on the opening weekend – they’ve scored eight goals over two legs in the Third Round of Europa League qualifying. United have had their troubles away from home for a while now and we have to lay them at 2.48. The Wolves price is tempting at 3.3 but United look at least ten ticks too short at 2.48 and we’re very happy to lay those odds.
BETDAQ BEST BET:
Lay Manchester United at 2.48.
