Wolves v Arsenal

Wolves vs Arsenal Preview

Wolves gained a point in a 2-2 draw away from home at Nottingham Forest in last weekend's Premier League action but nevertheless the west midlands club have now failed to win any of their last four games overall in the domestic top flight, while Arsenal's impressive unbeaten run was brought to an end by Aston Villa on home soil at their Emirates Stadium last Sunday which resulted in Arsenal now trailing the new league leaders Manchester City by a two-point margin.

Points picked up in recent stalemates with Burnley and Nottingham Forest have been outweighed by two losses against the likes of Aston Villa and West Ham which has meant that Gary O'Neil's side still remain in their mid-table position of 11th place in the Premier League table.

However, although Wolves have registered four wins in recent times in the English top flight, these have been the hosts' only successes in their previous 12 matches overall but goals look likely to unfold here at Molineux as seven of these last 12 games have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals being scored.

In addition, six of Wolves' last 10 home games in the Premier League have also produced three goals or more.

Arsenal suffered what seemed to be an unlikely 2-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa last weekend which halted an impressive unbeaten run of 11 games which included picking up no fewer than 10 wins in the process.

Five of these 10 wins were collected on their travels with important victories registered at Nottingham Forest, West Ham, Burnley, Sheffield United and Brighton respectively so Mikel Arteta's side will still feel confident about their chances of returning to winning ways against their west midlands hosts here on Saturday evening.

Having won five of their last six games on the road as well, Arsenal look to hold the upper hand in this upcoming clash at Molineux especially as Wolves have produced some tentative and disappointing results of late in the top flight.

The prospect of goals also looks likely where Arsenal have been concerned as well on their travels this season and seven of The Gunners' last 10 outings on the road have also produced three goals or more and further goals could be on the menu here this Saturday as well.

Wolves v Arsenal Verdict

In previous meetings between Wolves and Arsenal it has been the north London club that have come out on top as the visitors have won each of the last five meetings on the trot while goals have also featured in recent exchanges with three of the last four encounters resulting in Over 2.5 goals as well, so the prospects of an away win here along with a few goals being scored looks likely.

Therefore, our main bet will be Over 2.5 goals @ 1.61

Other side bets worth considering:

Arsenal win & Over 2.5 goals @ 1.95

Correct Score: Arsenal 2-1 @ 9.50
