Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester United Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tomorrow, 12/26/24

Ruben Amorim’s post-game press conference following their latest 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth was interrupted by a leak and it was hard not to feel it was symbolic for their defense this season. The Portuguese manager has found life tough since taking over at Manchester United, having won just 4 of their 9 games since the former Sporting Lisbon boss was handed the reins. The Red Devils have only recorded 1 shutout under Amorim and that was against goal-shy Everton. Goalkeeper Andre Onana is also having an impressive campaign so things could be worse than they already are for a team that has conceded 7 times in their last 2 games. While there have been signs of progress in some areas since Erik ten Hag was replaced, the squad is still thin on quality in many areas, with some of their recent signings looking worse by the day. The behind-the-scenes battle between Amorim and Marcus Rashford is rumbling on and continues to overshadow the team, who are currently 13th in the Premier League table.

United visit a Wolves team that has also been leaky at the back, conceding a whopping 40 times in 17 league games. New head coach Vitor Pereira could not have asked for a much better result from his first game in charge of the Wanderers however as they ran out 3-0 winners over Leicester on Sunday. Goals have not been an issue for the home team, as only 6 clubs have scored more than their tally of 27, but their defensive lapses, particularly from set-pieces, have them battling it out at the wrong end of the table. With both teams solid in front of goal but woeful at the back, there should be plenty of goals in this one.
