The match
Arsenal will hope to rebound from the disappointments of back-to-back defeats as they travel to Wolverhampton this Sunday. The Molineux Stadium will play host to this Premier League matchday 34 fixture, with the home side 11th with 43 points and the visitors second with 71 points. Wolves are coming off a 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest, extending their winless run. They are now without a win for five league games, drawing two and losing three. This has somehow dampened their late-season mood, as the club now stands out of the top ten. Playing at home hasn’t been a positive experience either, as the Wolves have lost their last two matches at this venue. That said, they have four wins out of their last seven league matches at home and should fancy their chances of an upset.
Arsenal start this round two points behind leaders Manchester City and level on points with third-placed Liverpool. The Gunners are coming off a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. That has sent them crashing out of Europe and also extended their winless run to three matches in all competitions. It includes a 2-0 loss to Aston Villa in the league last weekend, a result that has seen them relinquish the top spot. Being on the road should be a good omen, as Arsenal have been bossing their away games lately. They won five and won one of their last six away matches in the league. Crucially, the last five matches in that run have seen them keep a clean sheet, and their defensive strengths could once again prove handy.
Key Statistics
- In five of the last six league games involving the Wolves, at least three goals have been scored
- In their last three home matches in the Premier League, the Wolves have returned more than two goals
- At least three goals were scored in five of the last seven Premier League matches between these sides
- Arsenal have scored at least three goals in four of their last five away league matches
The bet of our experts
After a disappointing loss to Aston Villa in the league and to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, the world has come a full circle for Arsenal. They lost Premier League leadership to Manchester City, and this remains their only chance for silverware. The Wolves are going through a bad patch of form, and that could be good news for the Gunners. There are goals set to flow here, and hence our prediction for Wolves vs Arsenal is over 2.5 goals to be scored.
