Manchester United vs. Wolves Prediction
Manchester United were the single most in form team at home last season. They managed to win 15 of their 19 home matches, their only loss coming in the first game of last season. They are on an 18-game unbeaten streak at home, and the number of goals they score at home compared to away is ridiculous.
Their stats at home are night and day compared to on the road. They won a staggering 79% of their home games. Manchester United averaged 1.16 goals per game on the road last season, and that number goes up to 1.89 goals at home. They conceded 1.74 goals per game on the road, but at home, that number is just a minuscule 0.53 goals conceded per game.
The final stat to juice the odds I would throw in some corners. Manchester United, at home, went over the 7.5 corners mark in 79% of their games. They average about six corners per game themselves at home.
