Under 2.5 goals in the match
Wolves’ matches average the least goals in the league with 1.71 per game, while Arsenal matches, though they average just under a goal more at 2.70 are also amongst the bottom sides. Under 2.5 goals occurs in 75% of Wolves’ matches and in 48% of Arsenal’s.
Draw at Half-Time
Fifteen out of Wolves’ 24 matches have been draws at half-time with just nine goals scored and seven conceded. Arsenal have only conceded eight first half goals compared to 18 in second halves this season.
A goal in both halves – No
The goalscoring has been limited to one half of play in Arsenal’s last three league matches and in three out of four of Wolves’ league matches. This includes Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Wolves when the sides met just two Thursday’s ago.
The lads have their say on our Leicester win.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Two of the league’s form sides clash in this match that may have huge implications in the race to reach the top four.
Over the past eight league matches no-one is on better form than these two sides as they – alongside leaders Manchester City – have all claimed 19 points from a possible 24, making it very difficult to lean towards one side in particular in this match.
However, by the time these sides kick off on Thursday night, it will have only been two weeks since Arsenal defeated Wolves in the corresponding fixture, possibly giving them a psychological advantage over their opponents.
A 25th minute goal from defender, Gabriel, was the difference in that one with neither side giving much away. The scoreline could be similar again, Arsenal are priced at 5.8 to repeat their 1-0 win from two weeks ago, while Wolves to avenge that defeat by the same score is priced at 13.0.
Since that home defeat, Wolves have won two straight defeating Tottenham Hotspur and then Leicester on consecutive weekends. A win here would see Wolves leapfrog Arsenal and slot into fifth place and within three points of fourth placed Manchester United.
Raul Jimenez and Leandro Dendoncker have been crucial to Wolves’ recent form with each of them providing at least a goal or an assist in the last two matches, while Ruben Neves made the headlines again on the weekend with a special goal from outside the box.
If Wolves are to claim anything from this match it will be likely this trio will have played their part in some way.
Get Rich Quick
Three out of Wolves’ last four matches have all produced seven or more cards, including the match between these sides two weeks ago. Over six cards to be shown in the match is priced at 5.5.
Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Team News
Arsenal have a full squad to choose from with Bernd Leno and Takehiro Tomiyasu returning from illness and injury respectively. Gabriel Martinelli returns from suspension just in time to face the side he got sent off against if selected.
Long term absentee Pedro Neto made his return on Sunday after ten months out injured in Wolves’ 2-1 victory over Leicester. Joao Moutinho also returned meaning that Willy Boly and Yerson Mosquera are the only injury concerns for Wolves.
Possible Starting Lineups
Arsenal: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Tierney, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe, Lacazette
Wolverhampton Wanderers: Sa, Kilman, Coady, Saiss, Semedo, Dendoncker, Neves, Moutinho, Marcal, Podence, Jimenez
Highlighted Player – Max Kilman
Young centre-back, Max Kilman, is the only Wolves player to have played every minute in the league so far. In his second season as a first team regular he has shone as part of a back three who have conceded only 18 goals so far.
He will likely have the hard task of keeping Arsenal’s nine-goal top scorer Emile Smith Rowe quiet.
