Wolves vs Arsenal Prediction & Betting Tips (18 February)

Wolves welcome Arsenal to Molineux with the mood around the home side still fragile after a difficult Premier League campaign in which they have spent most of the winter hovering near the relegation zone. Recent league outings have underlined their problems in both boxes, with a goalless draw away at Nottingham Forest following back-to-back defeats, including the home loss to Bournemouth and a reverse at Manchester City. Those results, together with a generally poor win record, have left Wolves desperate for a statement performance in front of their own fans against one of the division’s form sides.

The recent fixture list tells a story of a Wolves team searching for rhythm. The stalemate at Forest came hot on the heels of a 0–2 defeat against Bournemouth and another setback away to Manchester City, while earlier in January they were held at home by Newcastle despite a spirited display.

Given Arsenal’s superior form, deeper squad and sharper attacking edge, our correct-score prediction tilts firmly toward an away win, with a 0 : 3 outcome looking like a realistic reflection of the current gap between the si
