Wolves vs Arsenal Preview
Wolves
Vítor Pereira will be hoping for a decent showing from his Wolves side when they host Arsenal on Saturday. They’ve suffered defeats in their previous three games and currently have the worst defensive record in the Premier League.
The squad have conceded a staggering 51 goals in 22 matches this season despite playing with a back three throughout the campaign. Many of their issues have come from corners, and have conceded eleven goals from an xGA of 7.04.
Against one of the league’s best teams from set-pieces, that would be a significant concern when making a Wolves vs Arsenal prediction this weekend.
| Recent Form (all competitions, most recent first) | L-L-W-L-D |
| Key Players to Watch | Matheus Cunha |
| Team Strengths | Good attacking options in the full-back arenas |
| Team Weaknesses | Extremely weak defensively, vulnerable from set-pieces |
| Injuries and Suspensions | Sasa Kalajdzic (Knee) Toti Gomes (Knock) Mario Lemina (Illness) |
Arsenal
At this stage, every match is a must-win encounter if Arsenal are to have any hope of catching Liverpool at the top of the Premier League standings.
Consistency has been a big issue for them in recent weeks after playing out draws in each of their last two games. Last weekend’s tie against Aston Villa would have been a hammer blow to their title credentials after throwing away a 2-0 lead.
Defensive issues have been evident in terms of xGA in recent weeks. They’ve allowed metrics of 1.77 and 1.21 in matches against Brighton and Aston Villa. However, William Saliba’s return to action this weekend should enhance their defensive prospects.

Wolves vs Arsenal Head-to-Head Statistics

Bet hereWolves vs Arsenal Player Focus
Matheus Cunha will receive plenty of attention this weekend. He’s linked with a potential move to Arsenal this month. The Brazilian was criticised by Vítor Pereira following the team’s loss at Chelsea on Monday. An improved showing will be required if Wolves are to upset the odds this weekend.
Cunha has been at the heart of everything positive the squad has done this season. He registered 14 goal involvements in 21 appearances from respective xG and xA of 4.65 and 5.31.
Wolves vs Arsenal Tactical Analysis
Wolves are an incredibly defensive squad at the best of times, and that is unlikely to change despite playing at home against Arsenal this coming Saturday. They’ll allow their visitors to dominate the ball before trying to win it back high up the field and hit them on the counter-attack.
That game plan could reap rewards, especially considering Arsenal’s issues against teams deploying a low block this term. However, based on their poor defensive record this season, it’s still hard to give the hosts confidence.
Wolves vs Arsenal Prediction
- Football pick: Arsenal to Win
- Odds: 1.47 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Wolves 0-2 Arsenal
Saturday’s event should be a simple assignment for Arsenal. Wolves have struggled throughout the season at both ends of the field. They once again looked short in the final third last weekend against Chelsea, recording an xG of just 1.07.
The guests should have the quality to ease to maximum points. Their chances are clearly aided by the fact that they’ve won each of their last seven matches against these opponents.
Wolves vs Arsenal Betting Tip
- Football Pick: Over 4.5 Cards
- Odds: 1.95 (22Bet)
Ill-discipline has been an issue for both of these clubs this season, meaning there is value in siding with over 4.5 cards being issued. Arsenal have averaged 2.18 cards per game and have seen over 4.5 cards in 50% of their matches. Meanwhile, Wolves have normalized 2.23 cards per event and have breached that benchmark in 59% of their encounters.
Alternatively, Gabriel is an eye-scoring betting angle this weekend. The home side have conceded a league-high tally of goals from corners, while the visitors lead the attacking ranks from set-pieces. The Brazilian has already netted three goals this season from an xG of 3.38.
