Betting Predictions
Arsenal takes on Wolves in matchday one of the highly anticipated return of Premier League football to Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Although the Gunners were again unable to win the league, they are now targeting a top-half finish in 2024–25. Gary O’Neil’s team is hoping to unseat Manchester City.
Head-to-Head
The hosts are heavy favorites going into the match and have defeated the Midlands club in their last six league encounters. In the previous six Premier League encounters between the two teams, Arsenal has emerged victorious, demonstrating their current dominance in this matchup.
The Gunners prevailed 2-1 in the identical encounter from the previous season with two goals from Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka.
Team News
Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) and Kieran Tierney (hamstring) will not be fit for Arsenal’s Premier League opener, but Arteta is crossing his fingers that Jurrien Timber, who tore his ACL on opening weekend last year, will recover from a foot injury to play.
The Gunners manager has a few choices at left-back, including Riccardo Calafiori, who is anticipated to make his Premier League debut, but Oleksandr Zinchenko should start the season as the starting left-back after his impressive preseason.
David Raya will play in his first competitive game since moving permanently from Brentford on Saturday. Meanwhile, Thomas Partey is expected to start at number six as Arsenal continues to try to buy Mikel Merino of Real Sociedad.
When it comes to full-backs who aren’t available, Arteta and O’Neil can relate because Nelson Semedo’s red card in the season’s final match—a 2-0 loss to Liverpool—means that the former Barcelona player will miss the first three games of the upcoming campaign.
Matt Doherty and Pedro Lima, a recent signing, will compete for the starting spot at the Emirates because Semedo is suspended. O’Neil anticipates that all three players—Mateus Cunha, Mario Lemina, and Jorgen Strand Larsen—will be available despite their niggling injuries.
But Daniel Podence (calf) and Leon Chiwone (ankle) remain out, and adolescent winger Enso Gonzalez, who joined unfortunate striker Sasa Kalajdzic in the cruciate’s club, had a terrible ACL injury while competing for Paraguay at the Olympics and will require a protracted recovery period.
Probable Line-Up
Arsenal XI:
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli
Wolverhampton Wanderers XI:
Sa; Doherty, Mosquera, Toti, Ait-Nouri; Sarabia, Lemina, Gomes, Bellegarde; Cunha, Hwang
Verdict
Tip Arsenal to Winâś…
Reason
Though neither of Arsenal’s previous two opening-day victories over Nottingham Forest or Crystal Palace had been convincing, the last time the hosts failed to score in a meaningful game against Wolves was when any member of Arteta’s team was even alive.
On Saturday afternoon, Wolves, who struggled in the second half of preseason, should have no trouble against an Arsenal team with a fully-fit attacking contingent, continuing the club-record streak of 33 games.

Tip: Over 2.5 Goals❌
Reason
The Gunners have dominated the previous six encounters between these two teams. During the three games played at the Emirates, Arsenal allowed just one goal to be conceded while winning all six meetings.
Not only did Wolves’ away record in the Premier League finish 13th the previous year, but their preseason performance was also lackluster. They did defeat RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, but they also lost to Palace and Rayo Vallecano. The best wager here seems to be over 2.5 goals.

Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
