What you need to know
The 2024-2025 Premier League season is here! Arsenal and Wolverhampton will play their first match at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday at 10am ET.
Look to the defense to decide Saturday’s game. Arsenal made the goalkeeper’s life a little easier last season, with an average of just 2.3 shots on target allowed per game. It’s a different story for Wolverhampton, however, as they averaged a 5.6.
Looking back at last season, Arsenal had a phenomenal run, finishing with a fantastic record of 28-5-5. On the other hand, Wolverhampton will look to improve after finishing 13-7-18.
Arsenal managed to secure a solid victory over Wolverhampton in their previous match in April, winning 2-0. Does Arsenal have another win in store, or will Wolverhampton turn the tables? We’ll have the answer soon enough.
Arsenal are expected to start the campaign with a win, which bodes well considering the team’s 27-3-5 record as favorites last season. Betting to win was the most profitable game last year, as bettors who bet $100 on that outcome on each game walked away with $253.74. Unfortunately, Wolverhampton will open their season as the underdogs, and as such last year the team was 9-5-16.
Chances
Arsenal are big favorites against Wolverhampton, according to the latest English Premier League odds of -526 to win.
