– Both teams have scored in only 14 of Man Utd’s 34 league games
– Each of Man Utd’s last three matches in the league have finished 1-0
– Recommended bet: Both teams to score – No
It has been a rough few weeks for Manchester United, who have the FA Cup final to look forward to next month but are at risk of slipping out of the Champions League places in this season’s Premier League.
The Red Devils have sustained back-to-back losses against Brighton and West Ham, failing to score in either of those games, and Liverpool are hot on their heels in the race for the top four.
Next up for Erik ten Hag’s side is a home clash with Wolves, who have secured Premier League survival with three matches remaining.
Team news
The big news for Manchester United is that Marcus Rashford is “more than doubtful” according to Erik ten Hag but in defence they are set to welcome back Raphael Varane.
Lisandro Martinez, Donny van de Beek, Scott McTominay, Tom Heaton and Phil Jones, meanwhile, are still sidelined for the Red Devils.
Wolves will be without Chiquinho, Sasa Kalajdzic and Boubacar Traore.
The stats
Manchester United have won only one of their last six matches inside 90 minutes.
Both teams have scored in only 14 of their 34 games in the Premier League this season.
And goals have also been at a premium in matches involving Wolves, who have seen both teams score in only one of their last six league fixtures.
Going forwards they have been pretty ineffectual, scoring only 30 times in 35 league fixtures this campaign.
Prediction
This is the kind of game Manchester United cannot afford to lose if they are to finish in the top four this season but the club’s recent form has been majorly concerning.
Since that humiliating 3-0 defeat away to Sevilla in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, United have lost two, drawn two and won only one of their subsequent five matches.
As a consequence, a once nailed-on top-four berth is now coming under threat from Liverpool and they need a response.
But goals have been hard to come by, with both Anthony Martial and Wout Weghorst failing to make an impact up top, while Marcus Rashford had hit a dip in form and is now likely to be missing for this contest.
Goals could therefore be at a premium in this one and a bet against both teams scoring at 17/20 with LiveScore Bet could be the way to play it.
United have had issues up top recently, while Wolves have been pretty shot-shy all season, so there is a good chance at least one side will fail to fire.
Both teams have scored in only 14 of Manchester United’s 34 games in the Premier League this season and in only six of their 16 league contests at Old Trafford, punters should opt for a low-scoring encounter.
Back both teams to score – No at 17/20 with LiveScore Bet
