Arsenal vs Wolves prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-12-12 20:00.
[p]With their Premier League title rivals closing in, Arsenal can consolidate their place at the summit when they host a Wolves side with the joint-lowest points total at this stage of an English top-flight season.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]A run of just two wins from their last five league games (D2, L1), capped by conceding at the death to lose to Aston Villa last week (2-1), has seen Arsenal’s comfortable margin at the top of the table shrink to just two points. Defensive injuries have clearly played their part with the Gunners conceding six times in their last five league outings – double the amount they let in across their opening ten matches this term. Mikel Arteta’s men restored confidence with a comfortable 3-0 UEFA Champions League victory over Club Brugge on Wednesday, setting them up nicely to build on a four-match winning streak in the league at the Emirates Stadium.[/p]
[p]Wolves’ miserable season unravelled further on Monday, with some of their supporters boycotting the opening 15 minutes of their game with Manchester United in protest against the ownership. Once they entered the ground, it was the same old story as the Old Gold were beaten 4-1, with boss Rob Edwards damningly admitting “it was like watching a kids game” in regards to his side’s defending. Only two sides have gone further into a Premier League season without winning than Wolves’ 15 (D2, L13), and with four successive away league defeats to nil behind them, a trip to the league leaders looks incredibly daunting.[/p]
