The big match in the Premier League on Saturday will see two Midlands rivals collide at Villa Park. Both Aston Villa and Wolves come into this showdown in steady recent form, but there will be pressure on the home team to land maximum points in their hunt for a Champions League finish.
Premier League Preview
There will be an intense clash at Villa Park on Saturday when Aston Villa collide with local rivals Wolves. All of the pressure this weekend will be on the home side, as they are in the battle to achieve a Champions League finish under Unai Emery. They come into this round in excellent recent form after winning three of their last five.
However, their recent form may be a slight concern ahead of this showdown, as Villa have failed to win in their previous two matches in the competition. In their previous fixture, Villa played out a 1-1 draw away from home against West Ham, but they were incredibly fortunate not to have suffered a defeat in that clash. However, Villa’s home record remains very strong after winning ten of 14 at Villa Park this season.
Bet hereA lot of credit must be given to Gary O’Neil this season, as the Wolves boss has ensured that his side has defied all expectations. Many predicted Wolves to struggle at the foot of the standings this term, but they come into this round chasing a late charge for a European position in the Premier League.
In fact, a victory for the away team on Saturday could see them end the weekend as high as seventh in the standings. Their recent form has been encouraging, winning three of their last four in the Premier League. However, seven of their eleven defeats this term have been inflicted on the road.
