Wolverhampton vs Arsenal prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 25, 2025
The Saturday program of the 23rd round of the English Premier League kicks off with a match at Molineux, where Wolverhampton will host Arsenal. I suggest a bet on goals in this clash with good chances of success.
Match preview
Vitor Pereira's team comes into this match with an unfortunate streak of three consecutive defeats in the league, with their defense conceding three goals in each of them. First, they suffered a heavy home defeat to Nottingham Forest (0-3), then lost away to Newcastle (0-3), and finished this poor stretch with a 1-3 loss to Chelsea.
Wolverhampton remains outside the relegation zone, just ahead of Ipswich in 18th place, thanks to a better goal difference. However, the team continues to be the weakest in the league defensively, having conceded 51 goals already. At home, the Wolves have also failed to impress, winning only two of their ten matches, with seven losses.
Meanwhile, the Gunners have played their last two Premier League matches at home. First, they triumphed over their archrivals Tottenham (2-1), and then they missed out on victory in a tense match against Aston Villa (2-2). Mikel Arteta's men continue to hold second place in the table, but Nottingham Forest has now caught up with them on points.
At the same time, their gap to leaders Liverpool has increased to six points, though the Merseyside team still has a game in hand. Arsenal has shown impressive consistency, extending their unbeaten run in the league to 12 matches, with seven wins and five draws. On the road, Arsenal has won five of their 11 matches, with two losses.
Possible lineups
- Wolverhampton: Sa, Dawson, Gomes, Bueno, Ait-Nouri, Semedo, Belghard, Lemina, Doyle, Borges, Larsen
