WOLVES vs ASTON VILLA
Wolves prop up the table in 20th position with just 10 points from 28 matches and they have not left the relegation zone throughout their campaign. It has been a difficult run for the side, reflected in their return of only one win alongside seven draws and twenty defeats.
Their most recent outing saw them lose 1-0 away to Crystal Palace, while prior to that they managed a spirited 2-2 home draw against Arsenal and a goalless stalemate away in Nottingham. Notably Wolves have scored only 18 goals all season while conceding 51, highlighting their struggles across all aspects of the game.
Aston Villa sit 3rd on the table with 51 points from 27 matches and are 3 points ahead of Manchester United on the log. Their recent form has been solid, picking up a 1-1 home draw against Leeds last time out, which followed a narrow 1-0 win over Brighton, and they have now gone four of their last five fixtures unbeaten.
Villa have netted 38 goals and let 28 reach the back of their net, showing a balanced profile built on attacking organisation and efficiency nearing the end of matches.
Head-to-Head
In the reverse league meeting earlier this season, Aston Villa secured a 1-0 home win over Wolves. Last season’s corresponding fixture at Molineux ended in a 2-0 victory for Wolves, while Villa claimed a 3-1 success in the earlier clash at Villa Park.

Verdict
Wolves have shown glimpses of resistance in recent weeks but continue to struggle for goals and consistency, while Aston Villa arrive with greater stability. Although the home side may compete, Villa’s structure and superior quality in key areas should give them the advantage as the game commences.
I am expecting a competitive contest where Aston Villa’s composure and attacking efficiency ultimately prove decisive.
