Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Aston Villa Prediction
Wolverhampton Wanderers are currently 14th in the league and come to this game after a humiliating result against Brighton & Hove Albion. Manager Julen Lopetegui has done a fairly good job since becoming manager of the club, but it will be interesting to see whether this result has an impact on the remainder of their season.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, are eighth in the standings and have been one of the best sides in the league since the appointment of Unai Emery as manager. The Spaniard, who did not enjoy the best of spells at Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal before bouncing back at Villarreal, has proved to be an impressive and astute signing by the club.
Players like Ollie Watkins and Jacob Murphy have flourished this season, and it has been reported that the club has targeted Mateu Alemany for the director of football position. Aston Villa have shown in recent years that they are not afraid to spend money, and Alemany's potential arrival will surely be beneficial.
Aston Villa look good and should win here.
