Aston Villa vs. Wolves Predictions

• Where: Villa Park, Birmingham, England
• When: Sunday, March 31, 01:30 AM

Premiership continues, and one of the more promising games this weekend is the Midlands derby between Aston Villa and Wolves. Villa Park and Molineux are less than half an hour apart, which explains the local dimension of this event. Also, in this case, the hosts are battling for the Champions League spot, adding more tension to this meeting. As for the Wolves, their chances of reaching the international stage are minimal.

Aston Villa vs. Wolves Preview

Aston Villa 

Right now, Villa is fourth in the standings, three points away from Tottenham, but with a game more played, which complicates its situation. They haven’t won the past two events, and that’s why Spurs have chances to jump over Unai Emery’s crew.

After suffering a demolition at home to Tottenham, Villa played 1-1 on the road against West Hah. In between, they would roll over Ajax in the Europa Conference League, 4-0, securing a place in the semis of this competition.

The Villains are very confident at home, having 31 points in 14 matches, winning ten, having three losses and one tie, with a goal difference of 35 goals scored and 19 conceded.

Wolves

The international break came at the perfect moment for the Wolves, who suffered a shocking loss to Coventry in the FA Cup. They lost 2-3 at Molineux, even though they had a lead in the finish. Two quick goals in stoppage time, one in the seventh and the other in the tenth minute after the 90th, froze the fans and the players. 

Wolves have been solid on the road in recent times. Until the loss to Newcastle on their latest road trip, the Wolves haven’t lost six straight contests, winning four and posting two ties. 

The past three games Wolves played were with three or more goals, and six in the past ten ended like that. They play offensive football, always trying to score, regardless of whether they have the home court edge or play away from home.

Aston Villa vs. Wolves Predictions

Villa needs to go after a win, and they have to be a bit riskier and more aggressive. This unit has excellent offensive potential, particularly at home, while on the other side, Wolves usually play high-efficient matches. That’s why our pick here is over 2.5 goals.

Our verdict: Over 2.5 goals
