Wolves vs Manchester United Prediction, Betting Tips & Match Preview – Premier League 2025/26
Molineux Stadium hosts a Midlands derby with relegation stakes as Wolves welcome Manchester United on Monday, 8th December 2025 at 21:00 WAT / 20:00 GMT.
The Wanderers, bottom on 2 points after five straight losses (0 goals scored, 10 conceded), face the abyss—their worst start since 1912. United, stable in 12th on 22 points after a 1-1 home draw with West Ham (Højlund equalizer), eye a top-half climb amid a three-game unbeaten run (1W-2D). Wolves’ home desperation (0W in 6) meets United’s road solidity (2W-2D in 5), but H2H favors draws: 2 straight 0-0s. Injuries: Wolves sans Cunha; United full squad.
At Socapredict, we’ve crunched stats, form, and odds—United exploit Wolves’ woes.
