A markedly improved Aston Villa side welcomes a struggling Wolverhampton one in a duel that carries significant importance for both of these teams.
Aston Villa News
Aston Villa is in good form, there is no denying that and in much better shape than at the start of the season. The team has won 8 of its last 10 games across all competitions, with the 2 defeats in this period coming against Liverpool in the Premier League and a shock loss to Go Ahead Eagles in the Europa League. Unai Emery’s men have turned Villa Park into a fortress in recent weeks, with wins carved out there being a cornerstone in the club’s recent success. To put some numbers on the board, Aston Villa has won its last 7 home games across all competitions, scoring at least 2 goals in 5 of them and managing to score at least 2 goals in all of their last 5 competitive games.
Wolverhampton Team News
On the other side of the fence are Wolverhampton, who have many woes to worry about. The team sits at the bottom of the Premier League, with relegation being a very real scenario. The Wolves can’t seem to catch a break, as they have lost their last 6 games across all competitions. They remain the only Premier League team without a win at this stage of the season, and with just 2 points to their name. This is a shockingly low tally, considering that December is knocking on the door and the halfway mark of the season is near. To make things worse, Wolverhampton have also failed to score in any of their last 3 league away matches.

Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton Betting Prediction
I am going with an Aston Villa win & over 1.5 goals here. Unai Emery’s team has found their rhythm and is rapidly improving. They also boast a formidable home record in recent weeks. Meanwhile, Wolverhampton have tons of problems and just 2 points up until now, with another tough trip on the horizon. I expect them to fumble against an in-form Villa side, and also expect to see at least 2 goals in this game as well.
