The Premier League matchday 31 clash between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal will take place on 18 February at Molineux Stadium. Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Arsenal: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolverhampton Wanderers were away to Nottingham Forest last time out and played out a goalless draw. As a result, the team managed to halt a three-match losing run in the league, but their winless Premier League streak has grown to six games (three draws and three defeats). It is also worth highlighting that Wolverhampton Wanderers have scored just one goal across their last five Premier League matches. Unsurprisingly, with the worst attack in the competition (just 16 goals), the club sit bottom of the standings and are already 18 points adrift of 17th place.
- The team have not won 29 of their previous 30 Premier League matches (seven draws and 22 defeats).
- Exactly two or three goals have been scored in eight of Wolverhampton Wanderers' last 11 league games.
- No more than two goals have been scored in five of the club's previous six Premier League matches.
Potential Wolverhampton Wanderers Lineup (3-5-2)*
Jose Sa – Ladislav Krejci, Yerson Mosquera, Santiago Bueno – Angel Gomes, Adam Armstrong, Rodrigo Gomes, Joao Gomes, Mateusz Mane – Tolu Arokodare.
Defender Tote Gomes and forward Hwang Hee-chan are out injured.
Arsenal
With each passing match, points are becoming harder and harder to come by. Arsenal remain top of the standings, but their lead is no longer so convincing – the gap to their nearest rivals is only four points. Last time out, Arsenal slipped up again, drawing away to Brentford (1:1). It should be noted that across the previous six league matches, the London club have recorded just two wins (three draws and one defeat). As before, the club also have the best defence in the Premier League, having conceded only 18 goals.
- Arsenal have not lost 10 of their previous 11 Premier League matches (seven wins and three draws).
- Away from home, Arsenal are on a five-game unbeaten run in the league (three wins and two draws).
- Across their previous 11 first halves, the London club have conceded just two goals.
Potential Arsenal Lineup (4-3-3)*
David Raya – Gabriel Magalhaes, Riccardo Calafiori, Jurrien Timber, William Saliba – Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice, Kai Havertz – Noni Madueke, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus.
Midfielder Mikel Merino and forward Kai Havertz are out injured.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Arsenal: Match Prediction
The hosts of this upcoming match understand everything perfectly well by now. Rob Edwards is not even at risk of being sacked, because it is obvious that nothing and no one can save the current Wolverhampton Wanderers from relegation. If the team were at least scoring regularly, but as it is – they can go without a goal even in matches against direct rivals. We would suggest that the hosts will again fail to find the net this time, especially as the worst attack in the league will have no chance of coping with the best defence in the competition.
Naturally, the visitors should win. Arsenal are on a nine-match winning run against this opponent in the Premier League, and on six occasions that victory was to nil. Wolverhampton Wanderers are frankly disappointing even at home – the club have lost 10 of their last 13 Premier League matches. Therefore, taking all of the above into account, we prefer the following prediction – Arsenal to win to nil.
Prediction: Arsenal to win to nil
