Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Arsenal play host to Wolverhampton in a postponed Premier League game. The Gunners aim to build on back-to-back wins over Wolverhampton and Brentford, but the midweek clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the capital club. Talented forward Gabriel Martinelli is back from suspension, meaning that Mikel Arteta should have a full squad to choose from. The Wolves, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back wins over Tottenham and Leicester.
Arsenal and Wolverhampton seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and, taking everything into account, punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Bruno Lage should have a full squad to choose from as well. In the first half of the season Arsenal defeated Wolverhampton thanks to Gabriel’s goal, and yet another low-scoring affair is on the horizon at Emirates Stadium.
Highlighted Player (Alexandre Lacazette):
Alexandre Lacazette is a hometown boy of Lyon, a powerful striker who went through the youth ranks of the French side to become one of the most important players for Les Gones. The 25-year-old forward was also a member of all France national team selections becoming a European champion at the age of 19 by scoring the winner in the final against Spain.
This goal gave him a reputation of a big game player, one he went on to uphold on various occasions at his club. Lacazette is a hard working forward an accomplished finisher of the ball able to score from different positions. The most prolific striker in his side and among the top ones in the Ligue 1, Alexandre Lacazette scored more than 20 league goals last two seasons on a trot.
Constantly linked with a move away from Lyon, Alexandre Lacazette refuses to speak about anything other than his football and is leaving all the talk to the football pitch.
