Manchester United faces a difficult stoppage in the Premier League
British football maintains a high load of matches at the beginning of the year. On this occasion, the Premier League will play its 22nd date during the week with the presentation of Manchester United, which next Thursday at 5:15 p.m. (Argentina time) will travel to the Molineux Stadium to face Wolverhampton.
The Wolves have been doing solidly so far this season and that is due, in part, to the strength they have achieved at home, where they have only lost to Liverpool and Brighton. Currently, Gary O’Neil’s team is on a streak of seven consecutive games without losing and they are still unbeaten so far in 2024, which is why they are excited to put in a great performance in this match.
For its part, Erik Ten Hag’s team has gained some air by achieving two wins in the FA Cup. However, these victories came against lesser teams and it is still difficult for them to win in the Premier League. So much so, that in this competition he has only been able to win one of the last six games he has played, and he will have to reverse this streak if he aspires to play in European competitions next season.
Complicated challenge for the Red Devils
The Premier League is back on track and Manchester United needs to return to victory, since having added only five of the last 18 points at stake relegated it to ninth place. However, in front of them they will have the solidity of a rival that in recent times has established itself as a strong team and that, in addition, has gained a lot of strength in its stadium.
Wolverhampton comes to this match with confidence and good performances. Not only has he raised his level in the defensive aspect, where he has accumulated two games without conceding a goal, but he has also enhanced his effectiveness in front of the opposing goal: he has scored 13 goals in the last six games.
Although the locals arrive in a better position in terms of performance, consistency and effectiveness in this match, it is worth highlighting that United is a team that has struggled a lot in recent times. To such a point that he has fallen in six of the last seven meetings between the two, including the two last year.
Likewise, the latest history of Ten Hag’s team by FA is not much of a reference due to the hierarchy of the rivals, so it is unlikely that it will be enough for him to win the Molineux victory if he does not raise his level considerably. However, there may be a balanced match that ends with a distribution of points.
Matheus Cunha can take advantage of his great moment
So far this season, United’s back line has not always given many guarantees. This can be clearly reflected in the fact that they have scored goals in ten of the last twelve games, as well as in the fact that very different teams, such as Newport or Tottenham, have scored against them twice in the last two games.
For this reason, Matheus Cunha’s hierarchy can be a difficult problem to solve for those from Manchester, especially because it arrives at a great moment: the Brazilian attacker has scored in three of the last four games in which his team has converted, that is The penalty taker and Wolves’ play finisher has a variety of resources ranging from aerial play to great technique, speed and decisiveness. Therefore, if he knows how to take advantage of his opponent’s defensive weaknesses, he can become a great protagonist of this match.
