Aston Villa return to Premier League action in excellent form, while Wolves continue to struggle deeply at the bottom of the table.
Aston Villa thriving at home and building strong momentum
Unai Emery’s team is in outstanding shape, especially at Villa Park, where they have now recorded seven consecutive home victories in all competitions. The comfortable 2-1 win over Young Boys on Thursday allowed Emery to rotate and preserve energy, while in the Premier League Villa are showing consistency with a 2-1 win away at Leeds and a dominant 4-0 home victory over Bournemouth before that. Their attacking play is sharp, structured and efficient, and their confidence in front of their fans continues to grow with every match.
Wolves sinking further despite managerial change
Wolverhampton remain in a dire situation. Rob Edwards’ second debut was spoiled by a disappointing 0-2 home defeat to Crystal Palace, and nothing seems to change for the better. Wolves are still winless after 12 rounds, having taken only two draws and suffering ten defeats. They have scored the fewest goals and conceded the most in the league, a combination that exposes both structural and psychological issues. Away from home, their chances of improvement look even slimmer.
Prediction: BTTS – No
Given Wolves’ severe problems in attack and Aston Villa’s strong defensive discipline at home, the likelihood of Wolverhampton finding the net is very low. Villa are expected to control the match, dictate the pace and minimize risks, while Wolves’ lack of creativity and confidence should once again be evident. The most logical outcome is that Aston Villa score and Wolves fail to do so, making BTTS – No the best-supported prediction for this fixture.
