Wolverhampton have only managed to claim one point after a single draw from four matches this season. After four encounters, The Villans have scraped together nine points which hands them number 5 in the Premier League table.

Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton Prediction

Aston Villa Form

Aston Villa swept all aside in their last three matches and started off by winning 1-2 against Leicester. They went on to defeat Everton 3-2 and made it three on the spin against BSC Young Boys in a 0-3 victory. Aston Villa only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Premier League matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew three and lost one, as they scored 14 and conceded 13 goals.

A season somewhat above expectations could perhaps make Aston Villa a contender in a title race, though they do look capable of a podium finish if catching the right momentum.

Wolverhampton Form

In their previous three games, Wolverhampton drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest, then lost 1-2 against Newcastle and 3-2 against Brighton. Wolverhampton didn't manage a single away win in their last six Premier League matches, but managed three draws, while suffering three defeats. They conceded 13 and scored five goals themselves.

While a title challenge may be a bit of a stretch, Aston Villa look a solid bet for a top three finish at the end of the season.

We'd be flabbergasted to see Aston Villa waste away a win against Wolverhampton, who could be in for a battering, the way goals have been flowing lately.
