Prediction: MU vs Wolves
Wolves are having a difficult start to the Premier League season. After the first 18 rounds, Wolves have suffered 16 defeats and only managed 2 draws. This poor performance has led Wolves into an undesirable chapter in Premier League history.
According to Squawka statistics, Wolves have become the first team in the history of the top English league to earn only 2 points after 18 rounds. With a streak of 18 consecutive winless matches in the Premier League (0 wins, 2 draws, 16 losses), Wolves have the worst start in the league’s history, surpassing Sheffield United’s record in the 2020/21 season when they went 17 games without a win.

But that’s not all; the yellow-and-black team also set another sad milestone: for the first time in 123 years, a club in the top flight of English football failed to win a single game in their first 18 matches of the season. The last team to achieve this was Bolton in the 1902/03 season. Notably, in that season, Bolton went through their first 22 matches with only draws and losses.
Of course, with such a poor performance, Wolves cannot avoid their fate at the bottom of the table. With only 2 points after 18 rounds, the door to relegation is very close for Wolves. In the next round, Wolves are predicted to suffer another defeat when they visit Manchester United.
In contrast to Wolves’ form, Manchester United are playing quite well. The Red Devils just won 1-0 against Newcastle in the previous round. This is their third unbeaten match in the last five games, including two wins.
Manchester United are flying high thanks to their impressive attacking form. After 18 Premier League matches, MU have scored 32 goals, an average of nearly 2 goals per game, placing them among the top 3 teams with the best attacking records in the league.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Wolves have only scored 10 goals after 18 rounds, the weakest attack in the league. Their defense has conceded 39 goals, the most goals conceded in the league.
Wolves will face even greater difficulties away from home in this match. Wolves have struggled significantly on the road. In their last 13 away games, Wolves haven’t won a single match and have even lost 11 times.
Past encounters also show that MU is considered the stronger team, having won 3 out of the last 5 matches between the two teams. Based on this analysis, Wolves are predicted to suffer another defeat, extending their poor record.

MU vs Wolves Goal Prediction
MU’s attack has scored in all 5 of their recent matches, including 2 matches with 2 or more goals. The Red Devils’ defense has been quite poor, failing to keep a clean sheet in all 11 of their recent matches, although they mostly conceded only 1 goal per game.
Wolves’ attack has performed reasonably well, scoring in 3 of their last 5 matches. However, in 3 of those matches, the away team only scored 1 goal. 4 out of the last 5 encounters between the two teams also ended with more than 2 goals.
