Aston Villa will be looking to record a third straight win across all competitions when they welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Villa Park this weekend.
After achieving their best Premier League finish in over 27 years last season, Aston Villa were expected to build on that this season and they have managed that so far. The Villans began their 2024-25 campaign with a 2-1 win over West Ham United and while they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal on matchday two the response has been very good. With the 3-0 win over Young Boys in the Champions League in midweek included, Unai Emery’s men have won each of their last three games and will fancy themselves to extend that run this at home this weekend.
Wolves, meanwhile, have had very little to celebrate in the Premier League so far this season. Gary O'Neil’s men began their campaign with a 2-0 defeat to last season’s runners-up Arsenal and have been winless since then, losing two and drawing one of their last three league games. That run included a 6:2 defeat to Chelsea at Molineux.
Aston Villa vs Wolves Betting Tips: Under 3.5 goals
Recent meetings between Villa and Wolves were not particularly entertaining with each of the last four ending with under 2.5 goals and I fancy Saturday’s game to have a similar result. Desperate to secure their first league win of the 2024-25 campaign, I think Wolves are capable of keeping this game close until the later stages. The Wanderers also have a strong record at this ground, considering that they lost just one of the last four visitors (two wins and one draw).
- Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals
- Aston Villa vs Wolves prediction: 1-1
