Wolverhampton Wanderers VS Arsenal Match Prediction

Wolves are unbeaten against Arsenal since their return to the Premier League, with two 1-1 draws at the Emirates Stadium, either side of a 3-1 win at Molineux. In this season’s game, Raul Jimenez’s second-half equaliser cancelled out Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s opener.

Wolves vs Arsenal Betting Tips

Arsenal looked back to their free-flowing best with a 4-0 win against Norwich in mid-week, but they now face the team above them in the Premier League table.

Wolves have not conceded a goal since their return to action, winning three from three – albeit against three relegation strugglers.

This will be their toughest game so far, but they have the momentum now and an excellent defensive record – as well as the continued benefit of a fully-fit squad.

Raul Jimenez has 15 goals to his name at the other end and Adama Traore is making a big attacking impact whenever he comes on too.

Given Arsenal’s struggles at the start of the return to action, that could be an ominous sign.

They have gathered some momentum now at least, but this is a tricky trip to Molineux and with Wolves closing in on a Champions League place, the hosts are favourites.

Wolves’ mean defence will be key. If they can keep Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang quiet, they can earn at least a valuable point.

They have found a way to win in all three games so far, however, and it would not be a surprise if they closed further in on the top four with a win in this game too.
