Mikel Arteta will be hoping Arsenal can finish their Premier League campaign on a high when they take on Wolves at Emirates Stadium. Check out our key stats and suggested bets for the game.

Key stats

All 13 of Arsenal’s home wins have featured at least three goals, with those games producing an average of 4.15 goals.

Arsenal have scored at least three goals in six of their last seven Premier League home matches.

Wolves have conceded at least two goals in 10 of their 11 Premier League away losses.

Wolves have scored just 12 goals in 18 Premier League away matches this season.

Verdict

It’s been an extremely disappointing end to the season for Arsenal, but they can still be proud of the fact they looked like a title contender for the first time in a long time.

The only explanation for their poor performance at the tail end of such a good season is the pressure having gotten to them. They threw away a pair of 2-0 leads and crumbled against Southampton.

Despite that, they have been a far sight better than anyone else other than the champions. They’ve scored at least three goals in six of their last seven at home and should prosper against a soft Wolves side.

Julen Lopetegui did a fantastic job to take Wolves from where they were to a comfortable mid-table finish and Premier League survival. The visitors could still finish as high as 12th.

Their recent away form suggests that’s unlikely, though. While home has been a fortress, they have won just once in their last 10 away matches. 

The only point they have claimed in their last six was against Nottingham Forest and even Leicester were able to record a rare victory against them. In April, Brighton beat them 6-0 at the AMEX.

Arsenal were caught feeling sorry for themselves at the City Ground in defeat to Nottingham Forest last time out, but it would be a waste to allow this season to finish on a more sour note.

Mikel Arteta is likely to rally the troops for one final performance in front of the deserving home fans and in our opinion, it doesn’t look like Wolves will put up much opposition.

Back Arsenal to finish the season on a positive note and fire in at least three goals en route to victory over a Wolves side heading towards a rebuild.
