Wolverhampton is coming into this match with a heavy trend to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 5 straight as well as 11 of their last 12 matches. Their defense has been awful in these matches as they have allowed at least 3 goals in each of their last 2 as well as 3 of their last 4 matches, allowing at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches as well, but their attack has also scored at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 7 matches. When playing at home, they have gone over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 as well as 7 of their last 9 matches. They are going up against an Arsenal side that has also been trending to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 3 straight matches and their attack has been on fire in these. They have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 3 matches, but their defense has also been conceding goals. They are coming off of a 3-0 win in their last match which was against a much weaker Dinamo Zagreb club, but prior to that match they played 6 straight matches without keeping a clean sheet. Even when playing away from home, they have gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 6 matches. The Wolves have been awful on defense recently as they have been conceding a lot of goals in their last 4 matches so they are not going to keep this potent Arsenal attack out of their net here, but Arsenal has not been keeping many clean sheets themselves recently and this is a sandwich match between 2 Champions League matches so they could lose focus and concede some goals against a desperate Wolverhampton side at home. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
