No, the wind alone does not give you enough information to predict the runway in use.

Generally, ATC selects the in-to-wind runway whilst considering: the available approach aids; servicability of lighting; arresting aids; runway length; gradient; braking conditions; other adjacent airfields, position of the sun; etc.

If the wind is more or less straight across, as in your example, I would probably choose whichever is the main instrument runway or has the better servicability.
