Wolves vs Aston Villa Preview and Team News
Wolves Team News
Questions are beginning to be asked of Vitor Pereira and his Wolves side, as the West Midlands club dropped back into the relegation places after suffering a fourth successive defeat last weekend against Arsenal.
The 3-4-2-1 formation doesn’t appear to be offering Pereira the defensive structure required, as the club have conceded 30 goals from an open play xGA of 29.62 this season. Furthermore, no club has conceded more goals in the Premier League from set-pieces than Wolves.

The hosts have conceded a staggering eleven goals from corners from an xGA of 7.04. Their prospects this weekend will be negatively impacted by the suspension of João Gomes, while Boubacar Traoré, Yerson Mosquera, Enso Gonzalez, Sasa Kalajdzic, and Mario Lemina are also set to miss out.
Wolves predicted lineup vs Aston Villa: (3-4-2-1): Sa; Doherty, Bueno, Agbadou; Semedo, Andre, Doyle, Bellegarde; Cunha, Guedes; Strand Larsen.
Aston Villa Team News
It has been a consistent enough season to this point for Unai Emery’s Aston Villa, and they could move back to within striking distance of the top six if they are able to end a two-game drawing sequence in the West Midlands on Saturday.
Villa’s injury issues have been well-documented this season, and they will be without key defenders Matty Cash, Pau Torres and Tyrone Mings on Saturday.
Crucial central midfielder Amadou Onana is also injured.

However, their attacking output has remained strong. Villa have scored 24 goals from an xG of 28.72, while they have also netted six goals from corners. Ollie Watkins continues to be the club’s starring light in the final third, netting ten goals from an xG of 13.84 this term.
Aston Villa predicted lineup vs Wolves: (4-2-3-1): Martinez;
Ian Maatsen, Kamara, Konsa, Digne; Tielemans, Bogarde; Malen, Rogers, Ramsey; Watkins.
Bet hereWolves vs Aston Villa Prediction
- Pick: Aston Villa to Win
- Odds: 2.06 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Wolves 1-3 Aston Villa
Despite having lost on four of their last five visits to Molineux, it appears Aston Villa bring the better form into this clash on Saturday.
Villa have been lethal in the attacking third throughout the season, and the return of Morgan Rogers has brought the best out of the players around him since coming back from injury.
The fact that Wolves have conceded an average of 2.18 goals per game at home this season is a major point of consideration, while the hosts have also kept clean sheets in just 18% of their home matches in 2024-25.
Wolves vs Aston Villa Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: 1.57 (22Bet)
Both teams to score could be one of the most eye-catching selections when making a Wolves vs Aston Villa prediction. Wolves have failed to score in just 18% of their home matches this season, and have averaged a 1.21 xG at Molineux.
Meanwhile, Villa’s away defensive record is far from solid, allowing 1.91 goals per match on the road and keeping clean sheets in just 9% of their fixtures.
A very interesting betting angle could revolve around Wolves’ inability to defend set-pieces. Lucas Digne will take all corners and free-kicks in the attacking third for Villa, and he could be an outstanding selection to register an assist. The Frenchman has already racked up three assists this season from an xA of 5.89.
