Despite dropping points in recent matches, Arsenal remains firmly in the hunt for the title. However, the Gunners will need to minimize these mistakes if they are to stand a chance against Liverpool. The upcoming clash against relegation-threatened Wolverhampton is crucial, as both sides will be fighting hard for all three points and there is little room for error.
Wolverhampton Team News
Vitor Pereira took over at Wolverhampton during a disappointing season, one that could see the club face relegation. Avoiding that fate is crucial, and Pereira’s initial impact was promising. However, recent performances have brought Wolves back to reality, with the team currently on a three-game losing streak in the Premier League. Even more concerning is that Wolverhampton has conceded exactly three goals in each of those defeats, while managing to score just once. The team needs to find a way to secure victories, but their record against top-half teams this season has been dismal.
Arsenal Team News
Arsenal continues its pursuit of Liverpool for the Premier League title, but despite an impressive 12-game unbeaten streak, Mikel Arteta’s side has dropped points on several occasions. Five of those 12 matches ended in draws, with their most recent away fixture against Brighton among them. A notable trend in Arsenal’s Premier League away games is that the team has both scored and conceded in each one. The last time the Gunners kept a clean sheet in a league match was against Ipswich. Overall, their matches have been characterized by a high number of goals, a pattern further highlighted by the fact that Arsenal has failed to record an away clean sheet since the start of the season.
Head-to-Head-Games
Arsenal have won each of their last five encounters with Wolverhampton. Three of those matches saw over 2.5 goals, while the most recent two failed to reach that mark. Interestingly, Wolverhampton has not scored a goal against Arsenal at Molineux since 2022.

Wolverhampton – Arsenal Betting Prediction
Despite the head-to-head statistics not favoring this pick, I’m going with both teams to score. Arsenal have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their Premier League away matches this season, but they haven’t failed to score against Wolverhampton in any game since 1979. With both teams needing the three points, I expect an open game where both teams will be pushing for victory, likely resulting in goals from both teams.
