Premier League Betting: Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Arsenal

High-flying and free-scoring Arsenal are hitting the road to visit Wolverhampton Wanderers, the promoted side, in their den. Arsenal are third in league standings but at the top of the form table after they crushed Tottenham 3:0 at the weekend. The last victory extended their undefeated run to six straight league matches. The Gunners enter this match as the prohibitive favourites and most expect they will walk away with an easy victory.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have very little to hope for in this match indeed. They are after a draw against Stoke City, which has to be considered a positive result but Arsenal is not the ideal side to build on that result with. Such is the way of scheduling.

Soccer Betting Verdict: Arsenal are playing dream football right now and there is little that one can say against them, except that they sometimes misplace focus on the road. They have been simply devastating at the Emirates Stadium, winning five straight matches. On the road is where they have suffered a hiccup or two – losses to Manchester United and Manchester City and a draw against West Ham. But they are bound to learn from those mistakes and clean up their act on the road. The way they are currently playing, they have to.

Wolverhampton Wolves are 17 th in the table on ten points after 11 cycles. That they are just hovering just above the danger zone will make them desperate to take any points from this match. Easier said than done. When they are one of the worst teams on form right now, sitting at 19 th in the table after their last six how are they supposed to do that. True they are currently enjoying an undefeated run of three straight matches but that run is bound to end on Saturday. They are simply out of their league in this match.
