Here Is What to Avoid When Placing the Correct Score

3y ago

For a side that scraped past relegation just last season, Aston Villa are certainly exceeding expectations this term. Touted to be strong relegation candidates prior to the start of the campaign, the Villa are confounding critics with their fantastic displays so far.

With a decent return of 15 points from their opening nine games, Dean Smith’s charges are off to a flyer this term. Should they keep these performances going, there is every chance of these minnows securing continental qualification come May.

Wolves vs Aston Villa Team News

Enjoying another satisfactory start to the league campaign, Wolves are comfortably placed tenth on the standings after 11 matches. Even though they have been squeezing out favorable results, the Wanderers need to iron out some grey-areas in their play.

Not exactly known for their attacking prowess, one thing that has kept Wolves in the top-half of the PL log for the past two seasons is their defensive resilience. However, this time around, that sturdy defense is nowhere to be found.

Even as juvenile as the campaign is, Wolves have already ceded a whopping 15 goals, much to the dismay of the club supporters. Nuno Espirito Santo must be losing sheep as he looks to rediscover his side’s defensive balance.

Like they say, the best form of attack is defense – this is exactly what this club’s Portuguese gaffer believes in. He will still be kicking himself for losing Raul Jimenez to injury as his side now have fresh problems in attack.

Given how closely-packed the teams are on the log, victory in this fixture could see the Wanderers rise to as high as fifth-place on the standings, at least temporarily. To bag those three points against Villa, Wolves will have to be at their utmost best.

There is no doubting Aston Villa’s quality this season. Hitting their highest marks all at the same time, the likes of Jack Grealish, Watkins and Barkley have been giving opposition defenses a couple of things to worry about.

At the worst possible time, a controversial picture of Grealish leaked online prior to this game. Seen with a lady in the photo, the English international has been called out on social media for breaking COVID-10 protocols. Surely, this isn’t what the Lions need ahead of this weekend’s game.

Injured or Suspended Players

Wolves: Renat Dadashov, Jonny Otto and Raul Jimenez.

Wolves vs Aston Villa Predictions

Despite hooking up with a lady in midweek, Grealish will be allowed to participate in this fixture. He should be a pain in the ass for Wolves, who have lost a bit of momentum in recent weeks. Aston Villa, on the other hand, are also going through a rough patch.

The visitors had been on a three-game winning run on away soil before falling to defeat against West Ham on the last matchday. As such, their morale must have taken a little snag. A difficult one to call, the safest punt will be backing both sides to hit the target, in what will be a fiercely-contested game.
