Wolves vs Aston Villa Live Stats & Betting Odds
Wolves Prediction – Can Wolves pull away from relegation zone?
A 1-0 midweek home win over Slovakian side, Slovan Bratislava, ensured another successful display from Sunday’s hosts in the Europa League and they’ll be looking for more of the same when west midlands rivals, Aston Villa, come to Molineux this Sunday afternoon.
Wolves will also be looking to avenge their recent 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa in the League Cup which has been Wolves’s only defeat out of their last 11 matches in all competitions, and having put together a 6-match unbeaten run overall in the top flight, Wolves will be confident they can put one over Villa in this encounter.
Results at home in the Premier League have been solid if uninspiring as Wolves possess a home record of 1-3-1 7/8 which includes a 2-0 win against Watford along with draws with Manchester United, Burnley and Southampton.
A heavy 5-2 defeat to Chelsea has been Wolves’s only loss at home so far this season, and indeed, their only loss out of their last 13 matches at Molineux, so they look well set to add to their points tally this Sunday.
Aston Villa Prediction – Can Aston Villa record another victory?
It’s perhaps one thing to win in the League Cup but another against a solid Wolves outfit, this time at their Molineux ground with a precious three points up for grabs in the English top flight, and against a side that have been juggling resources as they continue their Europa League campaign.
Nevertheless, Aston Villa have more or less held their own at home so far this season at Villa Park as they’ve registered wins against Everton and Brighton, but their results away from home continue to be a concern for manager, Dean Smith, as The Villains have lost 4 of their first 5 away matches so far this term amidst an overall record of 1-0-4 8/11.
Defeats at Tottenham, Crystal Palace, Arsenal and Manchester City have far outweighed Villa’s sole success on their travels, that being a crushing 5-1 win away at Norwich City, but the visitors have also lost their last 2 matches on the trot in the top flight too.
Despite the relatively short journey across the west midlands, Aston Villa have also failed to beat Wolves at Molineux in their last 3 visits and although they recorded a recent League Cup win over their counterparts, this clash represents a whole different scenario.
Key-Facts – Wolves vs Aston Villa
- Wolves have lost just 1 of their last 13 home matches in the Premier League
- Aston Villa have lost 4 of their first 5 away matches in the Premier League
- Wolves are unbeaten in their last 3 meetings at home against Aston Villa
Betting Tips Verdict
Wolves with the handicap looks the best play here.
