H2H - Aston Villa on Top


Aston Villa have a 59-45 advantage against Wolves, alongside 35 draws. 

Wolves Are Unthreatening in the Premier League


Wolves are heading towards Premier League relegation after winning one of 28 games this season. Rob Edwards’ side have an average XG of 0.64 per game, the lowest in the league.

The Old Gold lost three games in a row against Man City 2-0, Bournemouth 2-0 and Chelsea 3-1. 

Edwards’ side then held Nottingham Forest to a 0-0 stalemate and drew 2-2 with Arsenal. Wolves had -1 XG and allowed over 1.61 XG in both games. 

Wanderers fell to their 20th league defeat of the season after a 1-0 loss at Crystal Palace. Tolu Arokodare missed a penalty, Ladislav Krejci was sent off and Palace scored a late winner.

Aston Villa Tough to Beat Away


Aston Villa have the best recent away record in the Premier League. The Villans are unbeaten in seven of their last eight on the road, winning five. 

Unai Emery’s side are on a five-match unbeaten run away in all competitions, conceding just two goals. Villa won three consecutive away games, beating Tottenham 2-1, Fenerbahce 1-0 and Newcastle 2-0 before drawing 1-1 at Bournemouth.

The Midlands side then beat Brighton 1-0 at home in the Premier League, allowing just 0.5 XG.

Villa followed that result with a 1-1 comeback league draw against Leeds on Saturday. Emery’s outfit conceded in the first half, responded with 67% possession and 1.46 XG and Tammy Abraham scored an 88th-minute equaliser. 

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News


Wolves (3-4-2-1): Jose Sa; Yerson Mosquera, Santiago Bueno, David-Moller Wolfe; Jackson Tchatchoua, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Andre, Hugo Bueno; Tolu Arokodare, Mateus Mane; Adam Armstrong

Centre-back Ladislav Krejci is suspended. 

Striker Hee-Chan Hwang is ruled out due to a calf problem. Attacker Leon Chiwome is also recovering from a long-term ACL injury. 

Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Emiliano Martinez; Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Tyrone Mings, Ian Maatsen; Amadou Onana, Douglas Luiz; Jadon Sancho, Morgan Rogers, Emiliano Buendia; Ollie Watkins

Midfield trio Boubacar Kamara, Youri Tielemans and John McGinn are sidelined with injuries. Attacker Alysson is also unavailable due to injury.

Harvey Elliott is ruled out until March following a recent knock. Unai Emery confirmed the midfielder’s upcoming absence and said, "He is injured now. He is not available because of injury."

Verdict

Wolves lack the quality and confidence to compete with the top Premier League teams. Aston Villa are a good away side and can boost their top-four chances with a road win at Molinuex.
