Manchester City start their Premier League season with a trip to Molineux to face Wolverhampton Wanderers.

What's at Stake?

The Citizens are unbeaten in their last three Premier League opening games, having won outright each of the three. In fact, they kicked off last season with four consecutive wins. Wolverhampton have lost their last four Premier League openers.

Head-to-Head Record

Manchester City have only lost one of their last ten head-to-heads with Wolves. It would be no surprise to see Manchester City score, having netted at least twice in five of their last seven Premier League games to end last season. Wolves are in poor form, having finished last season with defeats in three of their final four league games.

As of June 27, 2026, Manchester City's recent form stands at 1W-2D-2L in their last five games, with a league standing of 2nd in the Premier League, 78 points from 38 games. Their goal difference is +42, with 77 scored and 35 conceded. They are 7 points behind leaders Arsenal. Their last result was a 1-2 loss to Aston Villa on May 24, 2026. | Category | Stat | | --- | --- | | League Standing | 2nd | | Points | 78 | | Goal Difference | +42 | | Recent Form | 1W-2D-2L |

Best Bet

Manchester City can edge this, with a 1-0 correct score in favor of the visitors looking like a decent bet. At least one side failed to score in four of City’s six Premier League games at the end of last season, and they have been the winners of the last two league meetings with Wolves by a single goal.
