Arsenal want to defend top spot

Arsenal went into the Premier League matchday at the top of the table and will try to win the title this season, which they missed out on in the previous season. The Gunners have stepped up their game and are currently defying injury worries

The Arsenal vs Wolverhampton prediction of the bookmakers shows a favorite role for the home side. Arsenal have the better form and of course individual advantages, but Wolverhampton have been able to upset one or two opponents this season.

The home side will rely on their defense and try to make their mark offensively, as they have done recently. Our Arsenal vs Wolverhampton betting tip is that neither team will score.

Arsenal – Statistics & current form

Arsenal are once again playing a good role in the Premier League this season. The Gunners want the title but, unlike Manchester City, are under no obligation to win it. That could be a factor, even if the Skyblues are good at dealing with pressure. During the week, Arsenal had to do the freestyle, now they have to. The Londoners beat RC Lens 6:0 in the Champions League and made everything clear.

The home side have yet to fully convince this season, which sounds a little surprising when you know that this team is top of the table in England. It is interesting to note that a large number of goals in the league have been scored from set-pieces, while internationally only one in 14 goals has come from a set-piece. In footballing terms, there is still some room for improvement in the league.

Arsenal have won four times in a row against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League. The aim is to extend this streak. Arsenal feel particularly comfortable in December anyway, having won 50% of their league games in the Premier League this month. A good run in the coming month would also significantly increase their chances in the title race, and the program is not easy, but it can be achieved

Arsenal: Defense remains the key

A big advantage for Arsenal this season seems to be their defense. No team in the Premier League has managed to keep a clean sheet more often and no team has conceded so few goals. Having the best defense is important. That’s why our prediction ahead of the match between Arsenal and Wolverhampton is that neither team will score. Even if Wolves have been decent offensively of late, this defense is a bulwark.

Kai Havertz has also improved his form recently. The German international has scored in each of the last two games and will therefore have a good chance of starting again against Wolverhampton. Arsenal have won four competitive matches in a row recently and will be looking to continue this run.

As far as that is concerned, things are looking good. The Arsenal vs Wolverhampton odds show that the betting providers see the Gunners as having a clear advantage. Individually, there are clear differences, and Arsenal can certainly be classified as a strong home team

Predicted Arsenal line-up:

Wolverhampton – Statistics & current form

Wolverhampton are hoping for a coup at Arsenal FC and want to cause the Gunners problems. The team is playing with more confidence going forward this season than in previous years and is generally more attack-minded. But that has still “only” been enough for 15 points and a mid-table finish in the league. The key players are Hwang (7 goals) and Neto (8 assists), who both perform at a high level. Setting them up, especially on the counter-attack, will be important.

Wolverhampton recently suffered a 3-2 defeat away at Fulham FC. The defense was anything but good on the road, which must also have annoyed Gary O’Neil. There was definitely more in it than the narrow defeat. All in all, however, the Wolves are looking pretty decent this season.

So far, the visitors have scored 18 goals and conceded 23. The Wolves have suffered six defeats, four of them away from home. They have also scored 0.33 points per game less than at home. What gives Wolves hope: Tottenham, second in the table at the time, and Manchester City have already been beaten this season. Can they pull off a third coup?

Wolverhampton: Problems against Arsenal

Wolves have had a few problems against Arsenal in recent years. In the Premier League, Wanderers have yet to play a game against this opponent without conceding a goal. And if that’s the backdrop to a game against the best defense, it doesn’t look particularly good statistically. The Arsenal v Wolverhampton betting odds don’t give the visitors the best of hopes either.

Despite everything, every game has to be played first. And Wolves undoubtedly have fresher legs this time. What’s more, the visiting team have had time to prepare for their opponents. That may sound lucrative, but the opponents are one of the best teams in the world. Therefore, ahead of the Arsenal v Wolverhampton game, our value tip is that the home side will win the game and that more than 2.5 goals will be scored

Predicted Wolverhampton line-up:

The Gunners have a lot of quality in their squad, a good record against this opponent recently and the best defense in the league. So everything seems to be in place for the next win, if Wolves weren’t the shock favorites this season

Despite everything, Arsenal should be confident of a win. Because the hosts are so good defensively, our pre-match prediction for Arsenal v Wolverhampton is that neither will score.
