Wolves vs Manchester United | Premier League Preview & Betting Tips | 8 Dec 2025
Wolves are in a proper relegation scrap – winless in ten and shipping goals for fun. Manchester United aren’t exactly flying but have picked up enough points to sit mid-table. Molineux will be rocking under the floodlights, with the home fans trying to drag their team out of the mire and a big travelling Red army making the trip.
Wolves have stuck with a back-three that tries to stay compact and hit on the break. United are using a 4-2-3-1 that presses high and looks to dominate possession.
Wolves are the leakiest defence in the league right now – conceding 2.1 per game and not keeping a clean sheet in their last ten. They’re also dreadful at defending set pieces (0.7 conceded per game). United create plenty (1.68 xG) and have kept things tighter at the back lately, but they’ve been vulnerable to quick counters.
Wolves over the last ten: zero wins, two draws, eight defeats – just 5 scored, 21 conceded, zero clean sheets. In absolute free-fall and averaging 0.4 points per game.
United: four wins, four draws, two defeats – 16 scored, 14 conceded, one clean sheet. Not spectacular but picking up 1.5 points per game.
Wolves at home (last 10 league): 1 win, 2 draws, 7 defeats – averaging 0.7 scored and 2.0 conceded. Molineux has become a happy hunting ground for visitors.
United away (last 10 league): 3 wins, 4 draws, 3 defeats – averaging 1.4 scored and 1.5 conceded. Hardly brilliant but rarely rolled over.
Goals Against (per game)
United create far more and restrict chances better – the gap is massive on the underlying numbers.
Last five meetings: April 2025 – United 0-1 Wolves; December 2024 – Wolves 0-2 United; February 2024 – Wolves 4-3 United; August 2023 – United 1-0 Wolves; May 2023 – United 2-0 Wolves. United have won three of the last five at Molineux but Wolves have nicked a couple of shock results.
Wolves are in crisis – no wins in ten, no clean sheets, leaking goals left, right and centre. United aren’t brilliant but this is the perfect fixture for them to get a comfortable away win.
