The Premier League matchday 28 clash between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa will take place on 27 February at Molineux Stadium. Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Aston Villa: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolverhampton Wanderers have produced two decent league performances, drawing with Nottingham Forest (0:0) and Arsenal (2:2). There was a chance to make it three straight stalemates, but the club lost away to Crystal Palace in the last round, conceding the decisive goal in the 90th minute (0:1). As a result, Wolverhampton Wanderers’ winless run in the Premier League has stretched to eight matches (four draws and four defeats). As before, the club remain rooted to the bottom of the standings and are 17 points adrift of safety in 17th place. The team also score fewer than anyone in the league, with just 18 goals.
- No more than two goals were scored in 6 of the team’s previous 8 Premier League matches.
- Wolverhampton Wanderers failed to score in 5 of their last 7 league games.
- The club have recorded just 1 win in their last 16 home Premier League matches (4 draws and 11 defeats).
Potential Wolverhampton Wanderers Lineup (3-4-2-1)*
Jose Sa – Ladislav Krejci, Yerson Mosquera, Santiago Bueno – Adam Armstrong, Hugo Bueno, Jackson Tchatchoua, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde – Andre Neto, Mateusz Mane – Tolu Arokodare.
Forward Hwang Hee-chan is out injured. Defender Ladislav Krejci will miss the match through suspension.
Aston Villa
Since the start of the year, Aston Villa have lost consistency and have not managed to win back-to-back league matches even once. In the last round, the team could only draw at home with Leeds (1:1). Notably, across their previous four Premier League matches, Aston Villa have picked up just one victory (two draws and one defeat). It is also worth adding that during this run they have not scored more than once in a game. Unai Emery’s side remain third in the standings, but a genuine title race in the Premier League is probably already out of the question, as the gap to Arsenal is now 10 points.
- No more than two goals were scored in 7 of the Birmingham side’s previous Premier League matches.
- At least one of the teams failed to score in 5 of Aston Villa’s last 7 league games.
- The club have avoided defeat in 7 of their previous 8 away Premier League matches (5 wins and 2 draws).
Potential Aston Villa Lineup (4-5-1)*
Emiliano Martinez – Ezri Konsa, Matty Cash, Ian Maatsen, Tyrone Mings – Emiliano Buendia, Douglas Luiz, Leon Bailey, Morgan Rogers, Amadou Onana – Ollie Watkins.
Midfielders Youri Tielemans, John McGinn and Boubacar Kamara are out injured.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Aston Villa: Match Prediction
Everything has been clear with the hosts for a long time now – they will not be able to save themselves from relegation to the Championship. By mid-March, the team could officially say goodbye to the Premier League. However, Wolverhampton Wanderers are still not going to hand out points for free, trying in every match at least to earn a draw. We think that even against the league’s third-placed side the club will try to get a result, or at the very least will delight their supporters with a goal.
In Wolverhampton Wanderers’ last two home Premier League games, they faced strong opponents also pushing for high positions, yet they managed to score against Chelsea (1:3) and Arsenal (2:2). Of course, it will be difficult for the hosts to keep a clean sheet, as even at Molineux Stadium they have conceded in 14 of their previous 16 Premier League matches. Aston Villa have scored in 7 of their last 8 away league games. At the same time, the team have conceded in 9 of their previous 11 Premier League away matches. We should also add that Wolverhampton Wanderers have posted decent results at home against this opponent and have scored against them in 8 of the last 9 head-to-head meetings in the Premier League.
Prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
