Wolves vs Arsenal Prediction & Match Preview

Wolves vs Arsenal Match Preview

• Arsenal won 10, drew 1, and lost 1 of the last 12 Premier League matches.
• Wolves are winless in five straight fixtures across competitions.
• Wolverhampton shipped at least two goals in four of their previous five games.

Arsenal suffered their first league defeat of the year last weekend. They fell 0-2 at home to Aston Villa in a surprisingly dismal display, especially in the second half. The loss to the Lions seriously halted the Gunners’ push for the title. Mikel Arteta’s men have lost the pole position. They now share the second place in the league table with Liverpool. The two teams sit two points shy of defending champions Manchester City with six games to go.

Arsenal will be looking to bounce back this weekend. They visit Molineux Stadium for the Gameweek No 34 fixture against Wolverhampton. The visitors can ill afford another slip-up. They are big favourites on Saturday evening, just as the odds suggest.

Wolves extended their winless thread to five games in all competitions seven days ago. They drew 2-2 away at relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest. The only positive from that tie was the return of Matheus Cunha to the starting lineup. The Brazilian forward marked it with a brace at The City Ground.

Recent Meetings

Arsenal have dominated this matchup in the last several years. They will go into this on the back of five successive wins over Wolves.

The Gunners picked up a narrow 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton in this season’s match in December last year at Emirates Stadium.

At least three goals were scored in five of the previous seven H2H meetings between these counterparts.

Wolves vs Arsenal Prediction

Wolves have been particularly vulnerable in defence lately. They shipped at least two goals in four of the last five outings across competitions. The run includes a 2-3 home loss to Coventry City in the FA Cup quarter-final a month ago.

On the other side, Arsenal have 10 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in the previous 12 Premier League fixtures. They’ve conceded only six goals since. The Gunners kept three straight clean sheets in the league before the last weekend’s loss to Aston Villa. The run even included a goalless draw at Manchester City in late-March.

The Gunners will also come into this on the back of five straight wins in the head-to-head outings against Wolverhampton. They can’t afford a slip-up being two points shy of Man City in the title race. We will back Arsenal to have the lead at the half time and win the match at the end at the 2.05 odds.

Knowing how poor Wolves looked defensively of late, we will alternatively take the Over 2.5 goals bet at the 1.61 odds. Arsenal notched at least two goals in 10 of the previous 12 league matches. Wolves conceded two or more goals in all but one of their last five outings in all competitions. Three or more goals were also scored in five of the last seven H2H affairs between these rivals.
