LiontipsWolverhampton vs Arsenal. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (February 10, 2022).
Command Analysis
Wolverhampton had no success in the domestic cups. They lost in the first round of the League Cup and after crushing Sheffield United 3:0 in the opening match of the FA Cup, they got knocked out by Norwich (0:1).
Bruno Lage's side currently occupy the 8th line in the Premier League standings with 34 points from 21 games. The Wolves hoped to compete for European football this season, but the fight for the top-5 finish is extremely tight.
Wolverhampton have the second-best defense in the league, but they looked colourless on the offensive, having scored only 19 goals so far. The Wolves won all three of their matches in 2022: they beat Man United (1:0), Southampton (3:1), and Brentford (2:1).
Boly, Jonny, Mosquare, Neto, and Hee-Chan Hwang are on the teams' injury list and have been ruled out.
Arsenal have been delivering mixed results this season. The Gunners started their Premier League campaign with three defeats in a row, then mounted a long winning streak, but in the last few games suffered a dip in form and showed inconsistent performance.
Mikel Arteta's men have earned 36 points from 11 victories and three draws. They sit in 6th place in the table with 33 goals scored in 21 games. Smith Rowe is the top scorer for Arsenal with 8 goals to his name.
The North Londoners had a good run in the League Cup and were stopped only by Liverpool in the semi-finals, but they suffered an upsetting defeat to Nottingham Forest in the opening round of the FA Cup (0:1) and left the tournament.
