Aston Villa vs Wolves Analysis
Both sides need a win in this one and it should be a game that is hotly contested, presenting opportunities to punters and all EPL betting sites.
Aston Villa
Few people would have anticipated that Aston Villa would be sat in the top 4 of the Premier League with just 9 games to play but that is exactly where the Villains are. Unai Emery has overseen a transformation at Villa Park and they are in pole position to be playing Champions League football next season with many Premier League betting sites and they are the strong favourites to beat Wolves here.
Team news: Boubacar Kamara, Matty Cash, John McGinn, Tyrone Mings and Emi Buendia are all out of action for this one.
Aston Villa Predicted Lineup:
Emiliano Martinez, Ezri Konsa, Clement Lenglet, Diego Carlos, Alex Moreno, Douglas Luiz, Jacob Ramsey, Leon Bailey, Nicolo Zaniolo, Youri Tielemans & Ollie Watkins.
Wolves
In a similar vein, Wolves have shocked plenty of Premier League pundits this season, as Gary O’Neill’s side continue to soar up the league table. Whilst their home form has been a pillar of their success, Wolves are sat comfortably in the top half of the table and are beginning to dream of finishing inside the Europa Conference League places for next season.
Team news: Craig Dawson, Pedro Neto, Hwang Hee-chan & Jeanricner Bellegarde will all miss out here for Wolves.
Wolves Predicted Lineup:
Jose Sa, Nelson Semedo, Max Kilman, Toti Gomes, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Tommy Doyle, Mario Lemina, Joao Gomes, Pablo Sarabia, Marcus Fraser & Matheus Cunha.
Aston Villa vs Wolves Prediction
Both of these sides will be fancying their chances here, in what is a big game for both sides, both for local pride and in terms of what they are trying to achieve this season. Aston Villa have been imperious at home this term, but a couple of recent results have potentially put a little bit of doubt in their minds in relation to a top 4 finish. Wolves will play on that and make life tough for Villa, but the home side need a win and they should just about get it here.
Prediction: Aston Villa to win the match – 4/6 (-150) – Rhino Bet.
Aston Villa vs Wolves – The Ultimate Bet
Aston Villa to win & BTTS – 2/1 (+200) – Fitzdares
The Aston Villa defence has not been as solid as it was earlier in the campaign and Wolves will be able to trouble their Midlands rivals in this one, but Villa should have enough firepower of their own to prevail.
