Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Arsenal vs. Wolves at English Premier League
For many, this is “now or never” situation for Arsenal, whose chances to win the Premier League title are extremely high. City is still fantastic, but it seems that its peak has passed, while on the other side, Arsenal’s is now. The fans are hyped up, the management has high hopes, as well as Mikel Arteta, and they all can’t wait for the season to kick off. Wolves are coming to London to surprise the hosts, as they have no pressure on their back. Sometimes, that actually works.
Arsenal
In five preseason games, Arsenal lost just once, against Liverpool, 2-1, but that was quickly forgotten, with the Gunners smashing the German champions, Bayer Leverkusen, 4-1, and Lyon, 2-0 following that.
All the events except the last one against the French side included both teams netting, which signals that their defense still isn’t playing its best football. Arsenal focuses on the offense, and sometimes, they overexpose the backline, allowing the rivals to have more space than planned.
The Gunners were highly confident at home last season, frequently delivering high-margin wins, with them netting multiple goals.
Wolves
The Wolves were unstable during the preseason. They posted wins over West Ham and Wolves and scored three goals in those events, but they lost to Crystal Palace and Rayo Vallecano afterward.
They sold two of its best players, Pedro Neto and Max Kilman, and for the moment, the replacements haven’t been found. Now, we know that the Wolves have very talented players on their roster, but strengthening the unit is an absolute must for this team.
In three of their five test games, we saw over 2.5 goals. Wolverhampton was one of the most exciting teams to watch last year, as their games almost always included three or more hits.
Arsenal: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Rice, Havertz; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli
Wolves: Sa; Semedo, Mosquera, Toti, Ait-Nouri; Lemina, Doyle; Sarabia, R Gomes, Hee-chan; Larsen
The Gunners have six straight victories over this rival, with them netting twice or more in the previous five. Last season, Arteta’s crew won 2-1 at home and 0-2 on the road.
The Wolves showed plenty of flaws during the preseason, and they play on the road against a team that has been a nightmare for them recently. Everything here points to Arsenal’s routine triumph, even though it’s the first round of the year when surprises often happen.
Our verdict: Arsenal wins
