Wolverhampton vs Arsenal prediction and betting tips on April 20, 2024
One of the encounters in the 34th round of the English Premier League will unfold on Saturday at Molineux, where the local Wolverhampton will host London's Arsenal. Here is the prediction for this match from the team of experts at Dailysports.
Wolverhampton
The Wolves retained their position in the elite division in the previous season of the Premier League. However, due to the departure of several players in the offseason, many pundits underestimated Wolverhampton, believing their fate in the current campaign would be a battle for survival. Despite a somewhat tepid start, the Wolves managed to rediscover their form and currently occupy the 11th position in the league table. In the 32 matches played, Gary O'Neill's side has accrued 43 points. In the previous round, Wolverhampton played an away match against Nottingham Forest, ending in a 2-2 draw.
Arsenal
The Gunners visited Munich on Wednesday, where they suffered a 0-1 defeat to Bayern in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, exiting the tournament. This loss marked the second consecutive defeat for Mikel Arteta's side, as Arsenal also lost at home to Aston Villa in the league last weekend. Both goals conceded by the Gunners came in the final ten minutes of the match. Interestingly, on the same day, Liverpool also lost at home, and Manchester City swiftly capitalized on the slip-ups of their direct rivals. The Citizens now lead Arsenal and Liverpool by two points and, considering the fixture list, have a strong chance of clinching the title.
