Prediction: Manchester United Win
In the reverse fixture, although Manchester United won by three goals, the victory was not entirely down to their attacking dominance overpowering the opposition; instead, it stemmed largely from numerous defensive errors committed by Wolves. It was therefore entirely reasonable for the opening Asian Handicap to set Manchester United at -1.75 goals. The subsequent drop to a -1.5 goal line is most likely due to Manchester United's severe lack of squad depth, and even in this match, youth academy prospects such as Obi Martin and the Fletcher brothers will be handed playing opportunities. Whether Amorim sticks with the four-defender formation deployed in the last match will be the key to securing victory. However, based on the above analysis and media reports that Wolves have essentially thrown in the towel for this season, a Manchester United win should be well within reach.
Comprehensive Prediction Analysis:
Manchester United
Despite holding home advantage and boasting a superior squad, a lack of consistency remains a persistent concern for Manchester United. Bruno Fernandes' suspension for this match will weaken the team's midfield creativity and organization, and the absence of several experienced defenders has left the backline short of a seasoned defensive shield, with Mainoo and L Martínez expected to continue their centre-back partnership. Manchester United hold an absolute upper hand in the historical head-to-head record between the two sides, including a resounding 4-1 victory over Wolves in the first league meeting of the season. For Manchester United, this is a crucial six-pointer in their push for European qualification, and against a Wolves side sitting at the bottom of the league, these three points are a must-win.

Wolverhampton Wanderers
For Wolves, this match is a desperate battle for survival as they remain mired in the relegation dogfight. The outcome of these three points will not only affect the current league standings of both teams, but also directly shape their fate at the end of the season, with Wolves in a far more precarious position and relegation pressure looming large. Their offensive and defensive statistics both rank at the bottom of the league, and to make matters worse, six key players are sidelined through injury. Defensive vulnerabilities from set-pieces have become a fatal flaw that opponents have repeatedly exploited to their advantage.
