Wolverhampton Form & Balance Check
Wolves are in outstanding form, having won their last three Premier League games. The FA Cup elimination against Norwich City nevertheless caused a small mood damper around Wolves. In the end, coach Bruno Lage’s team left the field as losers with a score of 1-0. Wolves had 65 per cent of the ball but were unable to capitalise on their superiority. Overall, the form of Wolverhampton’s players can be classified as solid.
Strong attack
Coach Bruno Lage’s side have an outstanding attack. They have always scored at least two goals within 90 minutes in their last two Premier League games. Therefore, we are convinced that they will also score at least once against FC Arsenal. However, Wolves only scored 19 goals in total, which is why they can be considered a rather offensively weak team. Nevertheless, the offensive form curve in the Premier League is pointing steeply upwards.
Wolverhampton facts & analysis
– They are currently in eighth place in the table.
– Wolves won their last Premier League game 2-1 against Brentford.
– The top two scorers are Hwang and Jimenez (both four goals)
Arsenal form & balance check
The Gunners could knock Manchester United off fourth place in the table with a win at Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, the Wolves are anything but easy to beat. Nevertheless, the Gunners possess the better individual players. In their last match in the league, however, coach Mikel Arteta’s team had to settle for a 0-0 draw against Burnley FC. In this home match for the Londoners, a three-pointer would certainly have been possible. With Arsenal going two games without a win in the Premier League, their form curve is not pointing upwards.
Strong defence
The Londoners have shown in recent games that they are a team that can defend superbly. They have conceded a total of just 25 goals in their first 21 league games. This gives them a better defence than Manchester United (fourth place) and West Ham United (fifth place). Therefore, we believe that Wolves will have a very hard time overcoming the London defence. Nevertheless, we suspect they will concede a goal.
Arsenal facts & analysis
– They are currently in sixth place in the table.
– Arsenal played their last league match 0-0 against Burnley
– Their top scorer is Rowe with eight goals
Predicted line-up – last update on 8 Feb 2022
We expect Wolves to start similarly to their last league game against Brentford. They currently operate in a 3-5-2 formation. In contrast, we believe the Gunners will start in their usual 4-1-4-1 formation. According to our information, the Londoners will be able to draw from the full squad and will not have to do without any players.
