Arsenal vs Wolves: Premier League Prediction Match Details
Arsenal will kick off their Premier League campaign by hosting Wolves at the Emirates Stadium in London on Saturday afternoon.
Arsenal Preview & Form
Arsenal is aiming for a strong start in their first Premier League games after narrowly missing out on the Premier League title for two consecutive seasons while competing against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. In the 2023–24 season, Mikel Arteta’s team finished second with 89 points, just two points behind the title-winning Manchester City.
During their preseason games for the new season, Arsenal had an impressive performance. They began their USA trip with a penalty shootout victory over Bournemouth, following a 1-1 draw in regular time. In their second warm-up match, the Gunners secured a 2-1 win over Manchester United. However, they experienced a 2-1 defeat against Liverpool in their next game. In their final two preseason games, Arsenal triumphed over Bayer Leverkusen with a score of 4-1 and defeated Lyon 2-0.
Notably, Arsenal had a brilliant run of form during the 2023–24 season, as they remained unbeaten in their first ten games.
Wolves Preview & Form
Wolves will enter the upcoming season with high aspirations following a successful period under manager Gary O’Neil. However, they had a disappointing end to the 2023–24 season, finishing 14th in the table.
Gary O’Neil will be desperate for his side to get back to form, but in their preseason games, they had a mixed run of form in their five preseason games. Wolves won three and lost two of their warm-up games for the new season. Their final preseason games ended in a 1-0 defeat to Spain’s Rayo Vallecano.
It’s worth noting that the last time Wolves won at the Emirates Stadium was in 2020.
