Wolves vs Aston Villa Prediction

Wolverhampton Wanderers inflicted the first loss of the season on reigning champions Manchester City last Saturday.

They’ve bagged two goals while attempting just a single shot on target as Ruben Dias’ own goal opened the scoring on the occasion.

Jose Sa, on the other side, enjoyed a fantastic match with seven saves. Nevertheless, it is fair to say that Wolverhampton got away win the win on the occasion.

It was only the team’s second victory of the season, the first after four consecutive winless affairs across competitions.

Despite beating Manchester City, head coach Gary O’Neil still has a lot to worry about in terms of his team’s defensive displays as Wolves shipped three or more goals in three of the last five matches in all competitions.

This will be the music to the ears of Ollie Watkins who completed a hat-trick in the last weekend’s 6-1 thumping of Brighton.

Villa moved up to fifth in the league table after managing back-to-back league wins over Chelsea and Brighton.

On paper, this is their easiest game in a while in the Premier League. We expect Unai Emery’s troops to dominate the pitch throughout most of the affair at Molineux.

Latest Meetings

Wolves won three and drew one of the last four meetings with Aston Villa.

Aston Villa have managed just 15 wins in the previous 46 visits to Molineux.

Only two of the previous six matches between these counterparts provided three or more goals.

The Verdict

As odd as it sounds after their win over Manchester City, we don’t trust Wolves’ defensive line at all. This is especially the case when they need to come face to face with the man who has just bagged a hat-trick in a demolition of Brighton.

The away win is the way to go at the 2.10 odds while we also like Aston Villa to score two or more goals on Sunday at the odds of 1.90.
