- Competition: Premier League
- Date: 1st February 2025
- Kick-off: 17:30 UTC / 18:30 CET
- Venue: Molineux Stadium
Wolverhampton Wanderers will be looking to keep alive their hopes of Premier League survival on Saturday night when they play host to European football chasers Aston Villa this weekend.
The hosts have not won a Premier League match since Boxing Day when they beat Man United 2:0 at this ground. Vítor Pereira’s side played out a 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur few days after the victory over the Red Devils, but they have since lost four consecutive games. That run includes a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal last weekend at Molineux where they have a man advantage for almost 30 minutes.
Aston Villa have not quite been able to live up to their standards of last season. The Villans sit three places below the top five and wins are not coming for them often. But after ending their three match winless run with a 4-2 win over Celtic in Europe last time out, they will fancy their chances of beating Wolves on Saturday evening.
Wolves vs Aston Villa Betting Tips: Draw & Under 3.5 goals
Villa will go into Saturday’s game as favorites for three points, but the Lions have not been good travellers this season. Indeed, Unai Emery’s side have the worst away record of all the teams in the top half of the English Premier League and boast just one win from their last seven games away from Villa Park.
Meetings between Wolves and Aston Villa at Molineux in recent years were very close encounters. Each of the last two ended with under 2.5 goals and none of the last five meetings produced more than three goals.
- Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals
- Wolves vs Aston Villa prediction: 1-1
