Premier League, Saturday, 20.04.2024
On the somewhat slimmed-down 34th matchday of the Premier League, Wolves and the Gunners will face each other on Saturday evening.
While the home side continue to dream tentatively of European business, the visitors will have to conserve their strength after Wednesday’s tough battle in the Champions League.
Accordingly, my Wolverhampton Arsenal betting tip is for a close game in which the Londoners are likely to be in control
Until a few weeks ago, the sun was still shining in the West Midlands. Metaphorically speaking. Because they were sniffing at the international places.
But recently, Gary O’Neil’s squad not only lost in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup against second division Coventry. They have also not won in four league games (2U, 2N).
And yet seventh place is currently only seven points away and the competition from Manchester and West Ham does not look the safest at the moment.
They have looked particularly good against the top teams at home this season. They won their two most recent matches against teams from the top two with 2:1 against ManCity and Spurs respectively
The Gunners come to Molineux Stadium as a team that is currently very difficult to stop. They have gone five away games in a row in the Premier League without conceding a goal!
However, the past week has shown that they are vulnerable at times. Aston Villa beat them 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium.
On the other hand, Wolves have also lost each of their last five games against the Londoners. They even failed to score in both home defeats.
You can find odds of just over 2.00.
for a one-nil win for the visitors in your Wolverhampton Arsenal betting tip with the bookmakers at Interwetten.
A key to cracking the Gunners’ defense is likely to be Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian was back in the starting eleven for the first time following his injury at the weekend.
He immediately scored twice against Nottingham Forest. In the league, he has now been directly involved in nine goals in the last nine games (6 goals, 3 assists).
On the other hand, Bukayo Saka is currently the man Wolves should watch out for. The Englishman has scored seven goals in his last seven away games.
At Winamax Sportwetten you will find what I think is an interesting bet for your Wolverhampton Arsenal betting tip.
If either Matheus Cunha or Bukayo Saka score, there are odds of over 1.80 to be had. If both score, the odds are 10.50. However, I advise you to place the double chance X2 bet
What we already saw on Wednesday in the Champions League: Mikel Arteta often makes away games result-oriented.
Now, Wolves are not FC Bayern Munich, but there is no reason for the visitors to seek their salvation on the offensive here, for better or worse.
The Wanderers are certainly vulnerable defensively. They have conceded two or more goals in five of their last seven competitive matches.
A handicap bet could therefore also be a good idea for your Wolverhampton Arsenal betting tip
Although it won’t be a walk in the park, I rate the Londoners as the favorites. But there won’t be a goal spectacle.
Mikel Arteta is too much of a pragmatist for that and can’t get out of his skin this time either. Cunha will certainly play a lot of forward play for Wolves.
My Wolverhampton Arsenal tip is therefore: The Gunners won’t lose & Under 3.5 goals!
