Why We’re Backing Omar Marmoush Anytime Goalscorer @ 15/8 with Sky Bet

  • Pep Guardiola has enjoyed eight victories in his nine opening-day matches in charge of City and that looks like continuing on Saturday.
  • In that run of nine Premier League openers, the Citizens have scored 21 goals – an average of 2.3 goals per game.
  • Wolves have lost their best two players during the summer and many feel it could be another season of struggle for Vitor Pereira’s men.
  • Wanderers have lost nine of their last 10 meetings with City and were beaten 2-1 in this fixture last season.

Why We’re Backing Man City Win & BTTS @ 21/10 with Bet365

  • Omar Marmoush has made a big impact since moving to the Etihad in January, scoring seven goals in 16 appearances.
  • The former Eintracht Frankfurt man started May’s 1-0 win over Wolves, ahead of Erling Haaland, and looks set to be part of the starting XI again on Saturday.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Form/Stats

  • Wolves finished the end of last season without a win in their last four games, with Wanderers eventually finishing 16th after 38 games.
  • They have beaten City just twice in 14 meetings since they returned to the top flight in 2018, with both victories coming at Molineux.

Manchester City Form/Stats

  • The 2023-24 champions head to the Midlands having played just two pre-season friendlies, after featuring in the Club World Cup earlier this summer.
  • Defeat to Crystal Palace in May’s FA Cup final came around a 10-game unbeaten league run for Guardiola’s men.

Player to Watch

Omar Marmoush showed earlier this year that he is the type of player, pacy and direct, that can have a big impact in the Premier League.

There is talk that Guardiola may change his attacking formation, using the Egyptian up front alongside Haaland.

Wolves vs Man City Head-to-Head Record
