Aston Villa (home)
- Aston Villa have won their last 3 home games in all competitions and 4 of their last 5 in all venues (W4, L1).
- Aston Villa’s new-found momentum and much improved structure should overwhelm Wolves on Sunday when the struggling Black Country club make the trip to Villa Park.
- Villa are 4th in the table with 21 points from their first 12 games and look in rude health at home, where Unai Emery has forged them into a tactically-disciplined and dangerous team since taking charge in November 2022.
- Villa, who have averaged 1.67 goals for and 0.83 goals against at Villa Park this season, can beat Wolves with some ease in this fixture if Emery’s structured 4-2-3-1 system clicks again, according to our Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton prediction.
Wolverhampton (away)
- Wolverhampton have lost their last 5 games, including 3-0 and 2-0 defeats at Chelsea and home to Crystal Palace last time out.
- Wolves, by contrast, are at the bottom of the standings after picking up just 2 points from a possible 36.
- The latest Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton betting tips highlight that Wolves have lost 5 consecutive games and have managed just 1 goal in 6 away from home in the Premier League this season.
Key Players
- Hee-Chan Hwang is their top scorer with just 1 goal in 9 Premier League games, underlining their attacking struggles.
- Donyell Malen has been a reliable goalscorer for Villa this term, averaging one in every 4 appearances in the Premier League, with 3 goals in 12 games, so he looks a decent long shot in the anytime goalscorer market with Wolves so short of attacking spark.
Betting Insights
- Backing Aston Villa to get the better of Wolves carries little risk at 1.56, although the Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton betting tips suggest there is greater value to be found in the Over 2.5 goals market at 1.88.
- Donyell Malen looks a decent option in the anytime goalscorer market given Wolves' lack of attacking spark.
Prediction
Villa’s structured pressing and controlled build-up play could really trouble them in the half-spaces and central areas on Sunday, so we like the chances of the hosts to win fairly convincingly.
