Arsenal, a second-place finishing team once again, are determined to start the new season with a win in front of their home crowd. Mikel Arteta’s side are in fine form, as they proved with some brilliant victories at the end of the last campaign.

At the same time, Wolverhampton are going through bad times. “Wolves” extremely unsuccessfully finished last season and continue to experience serious game problems. Bookmakers quite rightly consider the guests as clear outsiders of the upcoming meeting.

Odds for Arsenal vs Wolverhampton

“Arsenal”, which last season finished in second place in the EPL, is a clear favourite for the meeting. The odds for the victory of the “Canaries” range from 1.18 to 1.22, which implies a high probability of winning. Mikel Arteta’s team will try to start the season with a victory in front of their fans at the Emirates.

Wolverhampton’s chances of success, however, are estimated by bookmakers much more modestly. The odds on an away win for Wolves range from 9.5 to 13.5. This suggests that Wolverhampton are the clear underdogs of the match, which is not surprising given the difference in class between the teams.

It is noteworthy that bookmakers practically do not believe in a draw outcome either. The odds for a draw range from 6 to 7.2, which is also very high. Even a draw at the Emirates would be a great achievement for the visitors.

Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Match Prediction

Arsenal are the clear favourites to win the game. The team finished the previous season on a positive note, having scored impressive victories at the end of the championship, including a 5-0 defeat to Chelsea. Bookmakers rate the probability of a win for the Canaries very high, giving odds in the range of 1.18-1.22.

At the same time, Wolverhampton finished the season extremely unstable, gaining only 1 victory in the last 10 Premier League matches. The team is experiencing serious problems in both defence and attack. Bookmakers consider “Wolves” as a clear underdog, giving odds on their victory from 9.5 to 13.5.

The history of face-to-face confrontations speaks in favour of Arsenal. “The Canaries” have won 7 victories in the last 10 matches against Wolverhampton, scoring 19 goals and conceding only 7. In recent head-to-head meetings, Arsenal has twice defeated Wolves with scores of 2-0 and 5-0.

Considering all these factors, the most likely outcome is a confident victory for Arsenal. We can expect the Canaries to seize the initiative from the first minutes, realise their class advantage and win with a 2-3 goal difference.

Recent official meetings

Arsenal

Arsenal finished the 2023/24 season with some impressive wins in their last few Premier League matches. Mikel Arteta’s side have shown great form, subsequently scoring 16 goals while conceding just 3 in their last six league games.

The victories over direct rivals Manchester United (1-0) and Tottenham (3-2) were particularly memorable. These results emphasise the Canaries’ ability to show their best football in key matches.

The 5-0 victory over Chelsea was a real end-of-season highlight for Arsenal. The team showed great attacking football.

The only disappointment for Arsenal fans was the team’s performance in the Champions League. A defeat and a draw against Bayern Munich prevented the Londoners from progressing further in Europe’s most prestigious club competition.

Nevertheless, given their impressive end to the season in the Premier League, Arsenal can be optimistic about the future. If the team can maintain their attacking power and strengthen their defence, they could well be in contention for the title again in the 2024/25 season.

Wolverhampton

“The Wolves” finished the season 2023/24 extremely unstable, alternating between rare victories and painful defeats. In the last ten Premier League matches Wolverhampton managed to win only 1 victory, losing 7 times and drawing twice.

Major defeats from Manchester City (1:5) and Crystal Palace (1:3) exposed serious problems in the defence of Wolves. The team lacks chemistry and reliability in the defensive line, which leads to conceded goals in simple situations.

Wolverhampton’s attack is not all smooth sailing either. Apart from the match against Nottingham Forest (2:2), the Wolves have not managed to score more than one goal in any of the last ten meetings in the Premier League.

Given the unstable play at the end of the season, Wolverhampton have a lot of work to do during pre-season. The team needs to strengthen the defence, establish interaction in the midfield and find new options in attack. Only in this case will Wolves be able to count on a successful performance in the Premier League season 2024/25.

History of head-to-head confrontations

Analysing the last 10 head-to-head matches between Arsenal and Wolverhampton, we can conclude about the clear advantage of the former. Arsenal has 7 wins, Wolverhampton won twice, and only once the teams played a draw. In these matches, Arsenal scored 19 goals, while Wolverhampton scored only 7 times.

Arsenal’s wins in recent matches have been particularly impressive, with a 5-0 win in May 2023 and two 2-0 victories in April 2024 and November 2022. “The Canaries find effective tactical solutions against Wolves and excel in both attack and defence.

Analysis of the entire history of confrontations also speaks in favour of Arsenal. Of 124 matches, Arsenal won 64 times, which is more than half of all meetings. Wolverhampton won 32 victories, which is almost half as many as Arsenal. The difference in goals scored is also significant: Arsenal have scored 238 goals, while Wolverhampton have scored 174.

On average, Arsenal score 1.92 goals per match, while Wolverhampton score 1.40. This indicates that the attacking power of the Canaries has historically been higher than that of Wolves.
