Both Teams to Score – Yes
Despite City’s defensive pedigree, Wolves have shown impressive attacking consistency, finding the net in 13 consecutive matches across all competitions. Their dynamic forward pairing of Jorgen Strand Larsen and Matheus Cunha continues to thrive, with both players in a purple patch of form. Particularly notable is Strand Larsen’s ability to produce in key moments – four of his last six goals have been match-winners.
City, for their part, have scored exactly twice in six of their last eight league outings, often conceding one in the process. Their 2-1 scoreline has occurred three times recently, highlighting the possibility of a goal being leaked even during victory. The absence of Rodri and Stones weakens their midfield control and defensive cohesion, while Ortega’s continued presence in goal offers less assurance than Ederson.
With both sides exhibiting potent form in the final third and recent evidence pointing to BTTS outcomes—especially at the Etihad where three of City’s last four league games have delivered on this front—backing both teams to score carries solid value. The reverse fixture also saw goals at either end, further reinforcing the likelihood of another BTTS result in this return clash.

Matheus Nunes To Be Carded
A returning figure against one of his former clubs, Matheus Nunes has carved out a role in Guardiola’s midfield based heavily on ball recovery and disrupting the rhythm of opponents. As City seek to contain a vibrant Wolves side enjoying their best run of form in decades, Nunes is likely to be deployed in a tactically combative role.
His defensive output often brings him into contact with fast-breaking midfielders and attackers—exactly the kind of scenario that leads to cynical fouls or last-ditch tackles. Against a Wolves side that break quickly through the middle via Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Matheus Cunha, there’s an added risk that Nunes could resort to fouling to stem counter-attacks.
Nunes’ booking in City’s win over Aston Villa came in similarly high-pressure circumstances, and with City desperately clinging to a top-five place amidst a tightly contested race, expect the intensity to remain high. The Portuguese midfielder isn’t shy when it comes to using physicality and could easily find himself in the referee’s notebook against a side he’ll be particularly motivated to impress against.

14/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning This Friday’s clash at the Etihad features two attacking sides in good form. Expect goals at both ends with Wolves’ recent scoring run. Matheus Nunes’ combative role invites disciplinary risks, while both teams favour wide play and aggressive pressing, fuelling corner potential. A three-leg Bet Builder primed for value. |
Over 10 Total Corners
A fixture featuring two sides who regularly operate through their wingbacks and wide attackers offers a rich outlook for corner accumulation. City’s left side has emerged as a major threat, with both Nico O’Reilly and Josko Gvardiol proving prolific from deeper positions—City’s left-backs have amassed 12 goals in the past year, often from overlapping runs and cutbacks that result in blocked shots or deflections out of play.
Wolves also push high through Nelson Semedo and Rayan Ait-Nouri, both of whom are tasked with stretching the pitch and delivering balls into the box. Semedo’s high foul count stems from overcommitting in these advanced zones, which also invites defensive interventions and, inevitably, more corners. Their recent win over Leicester featured a flurry of first-half corners, and in previous away matches, Wolves have regularly surpassed double-digit corner totals.
Considering Manchester City’s usual dominance in possession and high shot volume—especially at home—paired with Wolves’ resurgence and willingness to commit bodies forward, this match is poised to deliver a significant number of corners. Over 10 is a plausible and historically supported figure, with several of City’s recent Etihad fixtures landing well into the teens.
