Wolves vs Arsenal Prediction 25 January 2025

🔊 Will the "Wolves" return to the winning path? Achieving this in the 23rd round of the EPL will be quite challenging, as Arsenal is visiting Wolverhampton. The "Gunners" still hold out hope for a long-awaited championship, and bookmakers believe that the upcoming match won't pose a serious problem for them. It is predicted that Mikel Arteta's team will dominate, resulting in their well-deserved victory.

📊 Head-to-Head

Wolverhampton is a very convenient opponent for the Londoners. Arsenal has won the last 7 matches against the "Wolves," scoring at least twice in the last 6. Individual total for the visitors over 1.5 goals is a bet worth considering.

🐺 Wolverhampton

The joy of the "Wolves" fans after Vitor Pereira took over as head coach did not last long. The team went on a three-match unbeaten run but then slowed down and has yet to win in the EPL this year. The only positive result was a victory over Bristol City in the FA Cup (2:1). It's important to note that Wolverhampton continues to concede a lot - José Sá's goal was breached three times by Nottingham (3:0), Newcastle (3:1), and Chelsea (3:1). No other Premier League team has conceded more goals than the "Wolves" (51 goals) at this point in the season. Among recent losses for the hosts is Mario Lemina, who is actively seeking a new place to continue his career. Pereira excluded the Gabonese player from the squad, stating that he needs players fully focused on the team.

🔴 Arsenal

The "Gunners" continue to hold onto second place, but they are not getting any closer to the leading Liverpool, as they keep dropping points. This happened again in the last round. Arteta's protégés confidently led the game against Aston Villa, securing a two-goal lead, but managed to squander it in just a few minutes. The result was a 2:2 draw, marking their second slip-up this year. Fortunately, things are going well for the Londoners in the Champions League. Recently, they easily defeated Dinamo Zagreb (3:0), strengthening their position in the top 8 before the last round. We will surely see the "Gunners" in the Round of 16. By then, some key players will return to action, but for now, they have to cope without Saka, Saliba, White, Tomiyasu, and Jesus.

⚽️ Prediction on Goals

Is it surprising that matches involving the team that concedes the most goals in the championship often end with "over"? Hardly. Total over 2.5 goals has played out in 11 of the last 12 matches involving the "Wolves." Such a strong trend cannot be ignored when choosing a bet.

🚩 Prediction on Corners

Arsenal loves corners and knows how to capitalize on them. It's likely that in the upcoming match, the "Gunners" will focus on set pieces. Therefore, a bet on total over 6.5 corners from the visitors has a high probability of success. Especially considering that Mikel Arteta's protégés have hit this mark in their previous 5 matches.

📝 Match Prediction

Arsenal has some significant personnel challenges, but we are convinced that even without a couple of leaders in their lineup, the Londoners should handle one of the underdogs. Everyone seems to be scoring against Wolverhampton lately, often putting three goals past them. We're not sure if the "Gunners" will score that many, but they should at least put their usual couple of goals past the "Wolves." Our bet is on Arsenal's individual total over 1.5 goals, with an expected match score of 0:2.
