Aston Villa Preview
Aston Villa is a team that, so far, has struggled to remain consistent this season. Out of 17 Premier League games played, they have won 6, drawn 3 and lost 8. These are not very positive stats, but they are 12th in the ranking and are not that far behind teams like Crystal Palace, Chelsea, and Liverpool in the hunt for a place in the top half.
In their most recent English league matches, they recorded three wins and two defeats. This is a statistic that favors them and keeps their hopes high for the next matchup. The results of these matches were: 4-0 vs Newcastle, 3-1 vs Manchester United, 1-2 vs Brighton, 1-3 vs Liverpool, and 0-2 vs Tottenham.
One point in favor of the Villains is that they have lost very little with a clean sheet; and, in fact, no player has repeated a goal in these five dates. Therefore, they have a good roster with the possibility of scoring (Luiz, Buendía, Watkins, Bailey, among others).
Possible Aston Villa lineup (4-3-3): Emiliano Martínez; Ashley Young, Ezri Konsa, Tyrone Mings, Lucas Digne; John McGinn, Boubacar Kamara, Douglas Luiz; Emi Buendía, Ollie Watkins, Leon Bailey.
Wolverhampton Preview
On the other hand, Wolverhampton, also known as Wolves, has a more difficult task. This team is threatened with the possibility of relegation in the penultimate position of the table with just 13 points in 17 games, only surpassed by Southampton with 12. They have recorded a total of 3 victories, 4 draws and 10 unfortunate defeats.
In their last five Premier League games, they have won once against Everton by a score of 2-1. The rest of the games resulted in a 1-1 draw vs Brentford; and 2-3, 0-2, and 0-1 defeats against Brighton, Arsenal, and Manchester United, respectively.
Currently, their most reliable player is Rúben Neves and Diego Costa, who is not giving his best either. In addition, Daniel Podence is another key player and scored the opening goal against Everton.
Possible Wolverhampton lineup (4-3-3): José Sá; Nélson Semedo, Max Kilman, Nathan Collins, Hugo Bueno; Matheus Nunes, Rúben Neves, João Moutinho; Boubacar Traoré, Raúl Jiménez, Daniel Podence.
JefeBet Prediction
Well, Aston Villa is more powerful in this match indeed considering that it is a team that has had a better performance during the Premier League and that, although with difficulty, has managed to score important points.
Furthermore, the Villains have not stopped scoring goals recently; what’s more, they are not in relegation point, as Wolverhampton are, who are sure to leave some space in their quest to score.
Prediction: Aston Villa win 2-1.
