Premier League: Wolves vs Arsenal
At 3:45 a.m. Beijing time on February 11, 2022, the 24th round of the Premier League, Wolves will face Arsenal at home. Wolves had a poor start to the season, starting with a three-game losing streak before the team's results improved as the schedule progressed. At present, after 21 rounds of the league, it has achieved 10 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses, ranking 8th in the league with 34 points, and in the case of 2 rounds of less competition, there is a 5-point difference with the European Theater, which shows that the team still has the opportunity to impact this area. From the data point of view, Wolves after 21 rounds of league, scored 19 goals, conceded 16 goals, showing a "weak attack and strong defense" situation, the attack end ranked 3rd in the league, and the defensive end is second only to manchester City, which is the second least team to concede in the league.
Although Wolves have performed poorly in the FA Cup recently, their performance in the league end is indeed remarkable, with 5 consecutive league games unbeaten and 13 points, which also greatly improved the team's ranking. These include a 1-0 win over Manchester United and a 0-0 draw with Chelsea, which shows that the team is still not intimidated against the giants. It is worth noting that Wolves have performed mediocrely at home this season, with 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in 10 league home games, and their home games rank 12th in the league.
Arsenal have performed relatively stably this season, after 21 rounds of league, they have achieved 11 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses, ranking 6th in the league with 36 points, in the case of 2 rounds of less, only 3 points away from the European Theater, if the Gunners can have a good performance in the remaining schedule, after the end of the league, I believe that the European Theater will have a place for the Gunners. But it has to be mentioned that the team's core striker Aubameyang left the team, the strength of the offensive end fell inevitably, and at present, only Lacazette can provoke the offensive banner, and has been wearing the captain's armband in many games.
Arsenal have been in a very sluggish state recently, having been unwinned in five consecutive games, including a two-legged defeat to Liverpool in the Premier League Cup, which ended in the semi-finals; and the FA Cup was eliminated by Championship side Nottingham Forest, and the loss of the two major competitions was out, and the team's focus could only return to the league. In addition, Arsenal's away results this season are not as good as home, with 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses in 10 league games away, and its away games rank 9th in the league.
In terms of past encounters between the two teams, Wolves have played arsenal in the past 10 times, achieving 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats, and the past performances of the two sides are not much different. In terms of recent developments, Wolves have been relatively strong in the league recently, grabbing 13 points in five league games, even against giants such as the Red Devils and Blues, they can grab points, while Arsenal's form is very sluggish, with no win in five consecutive games. Judging from the current attitude of all parties, the performance is decent, but combined with the contrast between the recent states of the two sides, Arsenal is still expected to take the points home.
