Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction

In this Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction, Manchester City is coming as huge -225 road favorites. Manchester City had a grand total of 29 more points than Wolves last season, but they won both of their meetings by just one goal. Last time they won by two of more goals on the road against Wolves was back in 2022. I will not lay the -225 moneyline with a road favorite in the opening day, as the hosts will be looking to start the new season on the right foot, and will most likely be competitive in this one. Take the Wolverhampton Wanderers by +1.5 goals in this one.
