Match preview

Wolverhampton Wanderers host Manchester City in the Premier League on 16 August 2025. Wolverhampton Wanderers sit 20th on 20 points and Manchester City are 2nd on 78. In their last 1 meetings, Wolverhampton Wanderers won 0, Manchester City won 1 and 0 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
