EPL: Wolves vs. Arsenal Preview, Odds, Prediction

While on one side, the Wolves struggle and fall apart, Arsenal is doing wonders this year in the English Premier League. We haven’t seen the Gunners this confident in the past decade, and they deserve the top spot, no doubts about it. Mikel Arteta’s crew is playing superb football, with plenty of variations on both ends of the field, and his signature could be seen all over the place. As for the Wolves, if there isn’t some radical change by the end of the year, they could easily suffer relegation.

Preview

Wolves (+450) are without a win in the past four events, and have just one triumph in the recent eight, with six defeats throughout that period. Their defense has been quite problematic during that period, allowing two or more goals on six occasions.

Meanwhile, we saw their attackers failing to score in six of the previous 10 events, which is a massive problem in the EPL. Without goals in a high-quality competition, even with almost perfect defense, there is no hope for good results.

The Wolves have two wins and three losses at Moulienux in the previous five contests, and both of those triumphs were with a minimal score, 1-0. The losses, however, saw their defense collapsing and allowing at least three hits.

Arsenal (-195) is still first in the standings, having two points more than Man City after 13 games. The Gunners are coming off a big win in the London Derby over Chelsea at Stamford, 0-1, and now all those who had doubts about their qualities have to admit that Arteta’s crew has the power to attack the title.

This was the third win in a row for Arsenal, who didn’t allow a single goal during that stretch, beating Nottingham at home, 5-0, then Zurich in the UEL also at the Emirates, 1-0, before racking a triumph over Chelsea.

At the start of the campaign, Arsenal was breaking its rivals with a high-intensity attack and pressure, but as time went by, they modified their approach and now rely upon a very tough and stable defense.

Latest News

The hosts are without Matehys Nunes, Raul Jimenez, Pedro Neto, Chiquinho, and Sasa Kalajdzic, who are all injured. Meanwhile, Diego Costa and Nelson Semedo are suspended.

On the other side, the only one out is Emile Smith-Rowe.

Head to Head Games

Two seasons ago, Wolverhampton beat Arsenal in both events. Last year we saw the Gunners getting even with the rivals, winning at Molineux, 0-1, and then at home, 2-1.

Prediction

Arsenal is looking near perfect this season, having a highly adjustable midfield that does well in both offense and defense. Gabriel Jesus is currently one of the best strikers in Europe, and his form before the World Cup is amazing. On the other side, the Wolves are in problems, and to be honest, we think that their situation in the locker room isn’t quite right, with the morale is at an all-time low. Our pick here is the guests to triumph, with the odds at -195. Right now, Arsenal is a league above the Wolves.

Pick: Arsenal wins -195
