Wolves vs Aston Villa Analysis

90-Minute Handicap: 1/2 : 0

Total Goals: 2 1/2

Wolves remain deep in the relegation zone, with the prospect of demotion almost a reality. After 28 rounds, the Molineux side has managed just 1 win, 7 draws, and 20 losses, earning a mere 10 points and trailing the safety zone by 17 points. The 0-1 defeat to Crystal Palace last round once again highlighted their lack of cutting edge in decisive moments.

Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that Wolves are showing some positive signs. They held Arsenal to a 2-2 draw at home and displayed a resilient performance against strong opponents. The biggest issue for this team remains their inefficient attack, having scored only 18 goals in 28 matches – the lowest tally in the league.

On the other hand, Aston Villa's recent form has not been overly convincing either. Unai Emery's side has won only 1 of their last 5 matches across all competitions. They struggled to secure a point against Leeds recently, thanks to a late equalizer from Tammy Abraham. However, they still hold 3rd place in the standings and maintain an advantage in the race for the top four.

Villa's strength lies in their impressive away form. They have secured 22 points from 13 away matches – the third-best record in the league. Facing a Wolves side with the worst home record in the Premier League this season, Villa's chance to claim all three points is quite clear.

Wolves have a decent head-to-head record against Villa at home in recent years. But with superior quality and clearer objectives, the away side should know how to make the difference.

Squad Status for Wolves vs Aston Villa

Match Prediction: Wolves vs Aston Villa

Wolves are playing with effort, but their weakness in front of goal makes it difficult for them to cause an upset against an Aston Villa side highly motivated in the top-four race. With stable away form and slightly superior squad quality, Villa are likely to secure a narrow victory.

Predicted Score: Wolves 1-2 Aston Villa
