Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Arsenal in 12th and Wolverhampton Wanderers in 9th place.
- Arsenal have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Wolverhampton Wanderers have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Europa League match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Molde, so at least Arsenal are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Arsenal form and stats
Arsenal have collected 6 points from their Premier League home games so far after 2-0-2. Arsenal are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Emirates Stadium, having lost their two previous games here.
Arsenal haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 201 minutes ago. P. Aubameyang scored that one.
An away draw last time out for Arsenal, facing Molde in a game that ended 0-0. 0-0 away at Leeds United before that.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Arsenal have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost two.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Europa League game versus Rapid Wien in only four days. This game is also played here at Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. Arsenal have conceded 6 from these games.
Wolverhampton Wanderers form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League travels is 2 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats.
Wolves's last game was the home draw against Southampton (1-1). A 0-1 defeat away at Leicester City before that.
As mentioned above, Wolves drew the match against Southampton. Manager N. Simões Espírito Santo brought on Pedro Neto to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, one draw and four defeats. From a total of five matches.
The attacking power of Wolves when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. Wolves have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - three - one (Arsenal wins - draws - Wolverhampton Wanderers wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.Top Goalscorers
