The excitement of the 2023/24 English Premier League season continues, and this weekend, when we have some key matches, one will feature Manchester City and Wolves.
The battle at the top of the table is hotting up. Arsenal is leading the standings, just one point ahead of City, but with a game in hand. That means, if the Citizens win all their remaining games, they will again be the Premier League champions. Otherwise, the Gunners could have a real chance of winning the championship.
On the other hand, Liverpool seems to have dropped their arms, as they lost again last weekend and are now five points behind Arsenal at the top of the table with the same number of games played.

Why Bet on Manchester City?
Manchester City is considered one of the most dominant and formidable teams in the world in all aspects of the game. Despite facing a challenging start to the season, they have managed to bounce back and exploit Arsenal and Liverpool’s mistakes to climb to the top of the table.
As matchday 36 approaches, City are currently in second place with a record of 24 wins, seven draws, and three defeats, showing an exceptional balance between their attack and defense, having scored 82 goals and conceding only 32.
Notably, City have a game in hand on Arsenal, meaning their -1 point difference could become +2 if they secure a win.
Despite being eliminated by Real Madrid in the Champions League Quarterfinals, Pep Guardiola’s management of the team has been exceptional, and Manchester City is still considered the team to beat in the Premier League and the favorite to win. Their recent form also supports this claim, having won their previous five games in the domestic competition, including a 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.
Why Bet on the Wolves?
On the other hand, Wolverhampton experienced a remarkable first half of the season, during which they competed for European places. However, as anticipated, their performance and pace gradually declined, which led to the team’s inability to maintain a position in the upper middle section of the table, resulting in a considerable drop in the standings.
Currently occupying 11th place, Wolves have managed 13 wins, 7 draws, and 15 defeats, with 48 goals scored and 55 conceded. With safety assured at this stage of the season, they face no relegation worries. However, winning the remaining three games could propel them to 7th place in the standings.
In recent weeks, the Wolves had been dealing with a discouraging slump, struggling to secure victories. However, their fortunes changed last weekend, specifically on April 27, 2024, when they got an excellent 2-1 win against Luton Town. During this match, they demonstrated a clear superiority over Luton, finding the net in the 39th and 50th minutes, while their opponents managed a solitary goal in the 80th minute through Carlton Morris.
Final Betting Analysis: Manchester City vs. Wolves
In the last 20 matches between these two teams, as expected, Manchester City has dominated with 14 wins. Meanwhile, Wolves accumulated four triumphs, and two games have resulted in draws.
However, Wolves shocked City at home during the first half of the season, securing a 2-1 victory. That is unlikely to happen again, especially now that City are in a direct fight for the championship.
At Gambyl Betting Exchange, we can get that there is a Moneyline that favors Manchester City at 1.08, while Wolves starts at 26.00.
For this match, our prediction is a resounding victory for Manchester City by 4-1.
Look for a win for Manchester City. For example, if you put $100 on the Citizens at 1.08, you’ll see a $8.00 win with a total payout of $108.00.
