Arsenal and the Wolves face off on Thursday in an English Premier League showdown at Emirates Stadium. When these two teams faced off on February 10th it was Arsenal that came away with the 1-0 victory. The Wolves had 59 percent of the possession and four shots on target, but they couldn’t find the back of the net.
Arsenal currently sits in 6th place in the standings having picked up 42 points. Coming into this game Arsenal has won two games in a row including the last game against Brentford where they won 2-1. It was a goal given up the 93rd minute to Brentford that made the game look a little closer than it was. Arsenal has scored 36 goals total this season while the defense has given up 26 goals total. Emile Smith Rowe has been the top player for Arsenal has scored nine goals and two assists. Bukayo Saka has also been strong, scoring seven goals and adding four assists.
On the other side of this matchup is the Wolves who sit in 7th place in the standings having picked up 40 points. Since that loss against Arsenal, the Wolves have won two games in a row. Two games ago against Tottenham, the Wolves won 2-0, and in the last game against Leicester City they won 2-1. Ruben Neves opened up the scoring for the Wolves in the 9th minute. The Wolves actually were mostly outplayed in that game, except for the goals scored. The Wolves only had three shots on goal and 36 percent of the possession. The Wolves scored 23 goals while their defense has given up 18 goals. Raul Jiminez has been the top player this season for the Wolves scoring five goals and adding three assists.
The Wolves are a strong defensive team and in the last game against Arsenal, the final score was 1-0. In this game I expect both offenses to struggle to get good scoring chances, and this game is going to go under the total. Back the under.
