Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Prediction

Arsenal Form

Arsenal are enjoying their football currently with three wins on the bounce, and it began with a 3-0 win against Bournemouth. They went on to beat Manchester United by 0-1, before also getting the better of Everton in a 2-1 victory. Arsenal have been in potent form at Emirates Stadium, winning no less than five of the past six Premier League matches here. They also hammered in 14 goals, while letting in four as they also lost once.

A second place finish is the absolute minimum Arsenal should achieve this coming season where the main target is of course the title.

Wolverhampton Form

Wolverhampton lost their previous three matches by 5-1 against Manchester City, 1-3 against Crystal Palace and 2-0 against Liverpool. Wolverhampton came through their last six away games in the Premier League without a single win. Of those six matches, they drew two and lost four in which, they were outscored by 15 goals to four.

A second place finish is the absolute minimum Arsenal should achieve this coming season where the main target is of course the title.

While we don't believe Wolverhampton are strong enough to prevent Arsenal from a home win, we believe they are capable of limiting the defeat to only a few goals.
