ARSENAL will be looking to get their Premier League title bid back on track when they go up against Wolves at Molineux on Saturday night.
The Gunners' hopes of securing a first top-flight crown since 2004 suffered a gut-wrenching blow in a 2-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa last Sunday.
To make matters worse, Mikel Arteta’s men have since been eliminated from the Champions League following a 1-0 loss at Bayern Munich in midweek, on a night where my 3/1 foul bet landed.
Arsenal now face a quick turnaround when they head to Wolves this weekend, as they look to arrest their worrying slump in form
The 11th-placed hosts’ quest for a top-half finish has hit the buffers of late thanks to a four-game winless run.
That being said, Gary O’Neil’s side showed the fighting spirit within their ranks when coming from behind to bank a point in a 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest last weekend.
Outright Betting
Wolves are a whopping 15/2 (Bet 365) to snap their four-game sequence without a win while a share of the Molineux spoils is as big as 4/1 (William Hill).
Arsenal, who haven’t lost a Premier League away game since New Year's Eve, are firm 4/11 favourites on Bet 365.
Betting Angles
Arsenal hold little appeal here as heavy odds-on shots but a play on Both Teams To Score looks like an eye-catching alternative at 10/11 (Bet 365).
Whilst the Gunners boast the best defensive record in the division this season, they seem a bit jittery right now, which doesn’t bode well ahead of a trip to Molineux to take on a Wolves side that have scored in 14 of their 15 Premier League home games this season so far.
Across that stretch of home games, Gary O’Neil’s side have scored against each of the other nine sides that are currently housed in the top-half of the table, so they are certainly capable of landing a blow against an Arsenal team whose recent exertions could begin to take their toll in the Black Country.
However, Wolves are not exactly renowned for being watertight at the back themselves, having posted just five clean sheets across their 32 Premier League assignments this season to date, so it’s unlikely they will be able to keep a wounded Arsenal side at bay.
That inability to keep the back door shut has coincided with BTTS banking in 22 of Wolves’ 32 top-flight tussles this term, including 11 of their 15 outings in front of their own supporters.
With that in mind, as well as the fact that Both Teams to Score would have been the right wager when these two sides met at the Emirates back in December, going for goals at both ends appears the most sensible solution at 10/11 (Bet 365).
Moving into the team corners market, I’ll also back Wolves to earn four or more corners during this clash at 5/4 on Bet 365.
Arsenal have conceded 4+ flag-kicks in four of their last five league games and Wolves can feed off the backing of the home crowd to follow suit on Saturday night.
