Aston Villa - Wolverhampton Wanderers predictions

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Wolverhampton Wanderers may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

It’s highly unlikely that Wolverhampton will manage to get some points this round. Aston Villa are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

Villa’s latest performance in the Premier League can’t be called impressive, though the 1:1 draw against West Ham United is not completely bad news either. After all, they were fighting an uphill battle in an away game.

The away team spent more than half of their previous Premier League match in a deadlock, but eventually narrowly won. That said, such an outcome was relatively predictable – the two teams were relatively close in terms of form, but Wolves had the advantage of playing at home.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Villa have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

Wolves fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 6 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

Among the best-placed teams in the season so far, the home team should be able to earn points here. They’ll need another 8 points in total to reach the table leaders, though.

We see several draws on record between these two teams in the past season alone. Villans may be the favourites, but it’s becoming very clear that they can’t easily beat Wolverhampton.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Craig Dawson, Matheus Cunha, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde are the players that will be missing, which makes the Wolves lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
