Wolves v Arsenal

Wolves vs Arsenal Preview

Wolves were handed a third defeat on the trot in the Premier League on Monday night when the west midlands club suffered a heavy 3-1 loss away from home at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea but although the hosts hold home advantage at Molineux, they will be up against high-flying Arsenal.

Arsenal had to make do with a point in a 2-2 draw at home with Aston Villa last weekend but nevertheless The Gunners' unbeaten run in the English top flight was extended to a solid looking 12 games and the north London side will be eager to return to winning ways against a struggling Wolves outfit.

Only goal difference now separates fourth from bottom Wolves and third from bottom club Ipswich Town and the relegation zone ahead of this weekend's action and having previously slipped to losses at the hands of Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United, both of which were by 3-0 scorelines, Vítor Pereira's side look to have their work cut out here.

Despite collecting rare back-to-back wins at the expense of Leicester City and Manchester United over Christmas, the bigger picture shows Wolves have now suffered no fewer than seven defeats within their last 10 league matches in the domestic top flight.

Having won just three out of their last 15 home games overall in the Premier League and slipping to 11 defeats, expectations will be low for the hosts.

Arsenal gained another point by way of a 2-2 draw with Aston Villa last time out but Mikel Arteta will be demanding all three points here at Molineux when his side make their way to the west midlands on Saturday in order to keep the pressure upon the league leaders, Liverpool.

Seven wins within their last 12 matches overall in the domestic top flight should give the visitors plenty of belief and confidence for this upcoming encounter, especially as three of these seven victories were achieved on their travels.

Victories on the road at West Ham 5-2, Crystal Palace 5-1 and Brentford 3-1 not only show that Arsenal are still capable of scoring goals on the road, but it also shows both teams have scored in these three games as well.

Indeed, Wolves may still play a part in the outcome of this upcoming clash against The Gunners at Molineux as no fewer than 18 out of Wolves' 22 league matches so far in this campaign have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

Wolves v Arsenal Verdict

Wolves know they need a result here if they are to remain outside of the relegation zone while Arsenal still continue to score goals even without the services of Bakayo Saka, so the Over 2.5 goals option looks a decent prospect on Saturday.

Therefore, our main bet will be Over 2.5 goals @ 1.72
