Manchester City get a tricky game as they take on a resurgent Wolves in the first game of the English Premier League Matchday 27.
Not only is this game a tricky one because Wolves are getting back to good shape, but the fact that they are one of the few EPL teams the Citizens have difficult time playing against is what makes this game more interesting.
Don't you think it will be best if we delve into this fixture's analysis proper so we don't leave this blog post a bit clumsy with unstructured stats?
Starting with the home side,
MANCHESTER CITY:
1) This first stat will always be Pep's Guardiola's men strongest stat for now.
The fact that they are on an unbeaten run of 27 games in all competitions which also include a massive 20 games winning streak is one stat that will make most teams in both England and Europe dread going against them.
I believe you will agree with me that the same applies to Nuno Espirito Santo's men.
2) Another huge fact that have been a major catalyst for the Citizens' current unbeaten run of games is their impressive and compact style of play.
I believe you will agree with me that the ability to attack and defend in a compact manner by Pep Guardiola's men is a major reason why teams haven't been able to get past them.
Wolves will definitely be facing the huge task of getting past this team as well.
3) Lastly, we've got the slim "head to head" advantage of the Citizens over Wolves.
They, Manchester City, have been able to get 4 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses against Wolverhampton Wanderers in their last 8 meetings.
This slim advantage should provide some confidence for the Citizens as they go into this game don't you think?
We can keep rolling in stats upon stats favoring City to get a win in this game, however, one single stat for Wolves, if it truly stands, might just bring the latter's winning streak, if not their unbeaten run, crashing.
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS:
1) One of the few teams Manchester City will most likely not want to go against when they, the opponent, are in a great form is definitely Wolves.
You might want to agree with me on this as the last stat in favor of Pep Guardiola's men says it all.
And looking at how Nuno Espirito Santo's men are beginning to pick up form, 2 wins and a draw In their last 3 games, Pep Guardiola's men might just be in for a huge clash.
CONCLUSION:
In all, looking at the stats presented before us, we will all agree that Manchester City look favorite to get a win in this encounter.
However, the Citizens will definitely not be having things go smoothly for them.
Let me get your takes, opinions, and predictions on this game, they will be greatly appreciated.
