Under 2.5 goals at Wolves vs Arsenal 7/10 for Thursday’s Premier League matchup

Competition: Premier League

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 7/10 @ 888sport

In a matchup that could see chances come at a real premium in midweek, Wolves will host Arsenal on Thursday night.

Starting with the hosts, continuing on what has been a hugely impressive campaign, Wolves have their sights set on clinching a European return this year. In their 21 Premier League matchups so far this season, they have recorded 10 wins, four draws and seven defeats, scoring 19 and conceding 16 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 34 and opening the midweek fixtures sat just two points adrift of breaking into the top-six, it should also be noted that Wolves hold the second-best defensive recorded in the division. As for the visitors, while Wolves might have suffered a 1-0 defeat against Norwich on FA Cup duties last weekend, that was the first defeat that Thursday’s hosts have suffered from any of their previous seven matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should also be highlighted that Wolves have seen five of their last seven home fixtures finish with under 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, while Arsenal might also be desperate to book a European return this year, they are marking their return to action in the midst of a recent struggle. In their 21 Premier League matchups so far this season, they have recorded 11 wins, three draws and seven defeats, scoring 33 and conceding 35 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 36, the Gunners open Thursday’s fixtures sat sixth in the standings and four points adrift of breaking into the Champions League spots. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 0-0 stalemate at home against relegation scrappers Burnley, Arsenal have failed to win any of their last five matchups across all formats. It should be noted, with each of their previous four contests finishing with under 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
