Heracles Athletics,Premier League pre-match analysis for December 1. The exciting Champions League has just concluded, and the top five leagues continue. The first match of the 14th round of the Premier League features league leader Arsenal against Wolves. The last encounter between the two teams was in May this year, with Arsenal securing a 5-0 victory at home. Playing at home again, the Gunners have the opportunity to achieve a five-game winning streak against Wolves.
Arsenal vs Wolves Prediction: Wolves’ Weak Defense Struggles Against the Gunners’ Big Win
Let’s look at the recent performance of Arsenal and Wolves. In the last 10 matches, Arsenal has a 50% win rate, while Wolves have won 3 games. The Gunners have achieved a 70% win rate in their last 10 matches across all competitions, scoring 23 goals and conceding 8; Wolves have a recent win rate of only 30%. Despite victories over Tottenham and Bournemouth, they lost to newly-promoted Sheffield United and Fulham in the last round, desperately needing a win. Wolves have averaged 1.6 goals per game in their last 10 matches, conceding a total of 18 goals, facing a strong attack from Arsenal.
The home team has quality on both offense and defense, conceding only 2 goals in the past 5 matches. Nketiah and Saka are the main scorers, recently playing in high-scoring matches and in excellent form. Although Wolves have scored 9 goals in the past 5 rounds, their defense is a major issue. Arsenal also went through a period of defensive weaknesses last season but climbed back to the top of the league after reorganizing this season. In contrast, Wolves have been consistently mediocre in recent seasons, with no signs of a rebound.
According to the Heracles Athletics news, the latest odds show Arsenal at 1.31 and Wolves at 10.50, with Wolves not favored at all. Arsenal’s 2-0 victory is the most anticipated outcome, but considering Wolves’ defensive weaknesses, the Gunners might still play a high-scoring game. The 14th round of the Premier League will kick off at 11 pm on December 2, with Arsenal expected to take all 3 points and continue to lead the league.
