Top Two Tips for Wolves vs Aston Villa
We're bringing you our Premier League predictions ahead of the Midlands derby between Wolves and Aston Villa on Saturday. Wolves have probably done enough to avoid relegation this season but another win this weekend would take them onto the magic 40pts mark. Visitors Aston Villa are still in the race for the European places and will be desperate to secure all 3pts from their short trip to Molineux.
Contents
Aston Villa to Win
Our first Wolves vs Aston Villa prediction is for an away win. Aston Villa might not have the best of recent records against Wolves but we're backing the visitors to win this weekend. Emery's men have won four of their last six league games, while Wolves have lost two of their last three matches. Ollie Watkins is a striker in top form and will be looking forward to going up against a Wolves defence that conceded six goals in their last game.
Under 2.5 Goals
Our second Wolves vs Aston Villa prediction regards the total goals scored by both teams. Four of the last six meetings between these two clubs have produced under 2.5 goals, and we're expecting another low-scoring affair on Saturday. Despite conceding six goals last time out, four of Wolves' last six league games have witnessed fewer than three goals scored, while four of Aston Villa's last five outings have produced under 2.5 goals.

Wolves vs Aston Villa Lineups
Wolves
Wolves were at their very worst last time out away at Brighton, going down 6-0 in East Sussex. The visitors went in at the break 4-0 down and could have no complaints, conceding another 2 goals in the second half to complete the humiliation. Kalajdzic, Boubacar Traore and Semedo are the main injury concerns for the hosts this weekend. Wolves will be looking to make it to 40pts before they start celebrating another season in the top-flight and are just a win away from that target with four games left to achieve that tally.
Predicted Lineup – Sá (GK), Dawson, Semedo, Kilman, Bueno, Lemina, Neves, Nunes, Gomes, Costa & Neto
Aston Villa
Aston Villa gave a good account of themselves at Old Trafford but ended up losing the game to a solitary first-half effort from Bruno Fernandes. Steer, Kamara, Cash, Bailey and Coutinho are all doubts for Saturday's clash due to injury. Aston Villa sit 7th in the Premier League table as things stand but could move above Tottenham this weekend with a win.
Predicted Lineup – Martínez (GK), Young, Moreno, Mings, Konsa, Dendoncker, McGinn, Buendía, Luiz, Ramsey & Watkins

Player to Watch: Ollie Watkins
Aston Villa's top goalscorer has been in fantastic form of late and we're backing the England international to have another good game at Molineux this weekend.
Watkins has netted 14 league goals in total this season, really impressing since Emery took over the role of manager. The 27-year-old has netted 6-goals in his last nine league games for Villa and is due another goal after failing to find the back of the net in his last three outings.
In a game we expect to be tight and tense throughout, one moment of excellence in front of goal could decide the destination of all 3pts.
