The Wolves and Arsenal face off on Thursday in an English Premier League showdown at Molineux Stadium. When these two teams faced off in February of 2021 it was the Wolves that came away with the 2-1.
Arsenal currently sits in 6th place in the standings having picked up 36 points so far this season. Arsenal has been a bad offensive team, as of late, and over their last four games across all contests, they have failed to find the back of the net. In the last game against Burnley, Arsenal had 76 percent of the possession, and five shots on target but they couldn’t find the back of the net. Arsenal has scored 33 goals total while their defense has given up 25 goals total. Emile Smith Rowe has been the top player for Arsenal scoring eight goals and two assists. Bukayo Saka has also scored six goals and added four assists.
On the other side of this matchup is the Wolves who sit in 8th place in the standings having picked up 34 points. The last game for the Wolves in the Premier League came against Brentford, and the Wolves scored two goals and that was enough to come away with the 2-1 victory. Two games ago against Southampton, it was again the offense that was the difference, putting up three goals on the way to the victory. The Wolves are a defense-first team, but the last few games the offense was a lot better. Wolverhampton has scored 19 goals total while their defense has given up 16 goals. Raul Jiminez has been the top player for the Wolves scoring four goals and adding two assists.
The Wolves are a strong defensive team, and Arsenal is a team that has had some major struggles scoring goals as of late. I am not sure that will be enough for the Wolves to win the game, but this game is going to be lower scoring. Back the under to cash.
