Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Prediction: will the hosts manage to justify their status as favorites?

Prediction for the EPL match which will take place on August 17. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

In the previous EPL campaign, the London club again imposed the fight against Manchester City and was the main opponent for the championship title. They again lacked just a little bit to return the cup in their hands. Arsenal finished the season in second place, two points behind the Citizens. In the summer, they played five friendlies, in which they won four matches and suffered one defeat.

In the previous season of the English Premier League, Wolverhampton lacked three points to finish in the top ten. With 46 points, they finished the campaign in 14th place in the table. In pre-season, Wolverhampton played five friendly matches, in which they won three games and suffered two defeats.

The visitors weakened during the transfer window, as the team left the attacking player Pedro Neto (the Portuguese left for Chelsea). Arsenal acquired a new centre-back - Ricardo Calafiori moved from Bologna to the London club. However, Arsenal have not strengthened the attacking line, but Arteta had no problems with this in the previous campaign.

We expect the home side to have a big advantage from the first minutes of the match. Wolverhampton will have to defend, but given the pressure of the fans the Wolves are unlikely to be able to score on zero. Here we suggest a quick first corner and the favourite's handicap.
