Wolverhampton vs Aston Villa Prediction: Can Unai Emery's side pick up an important win?

Wolverhampton will face Aston Villa at the Molineux home ground. The next club meeting will occur as part of the 35th round of the English championship. Bookmakers have a slight preference for the Birmingham side in the upcoming encounter. Can Unai Emery's side pick up an important win?

Wolverhampton alternated between victories and defeats in their last four English Premier League games. The team beat Brentford and Crystal Palace 2:0 on aggregate. In that stretch, Wolves lost 1:2 to Leicester City and lost to Brighton, conceding six goals and not responding with productive action. Wolverhampton sits 14th in the EPL table with 37 points.

The Birmingham club traveled to visit Manchester United at Old Trafford last week. In round 34 of the EPL, Aston Villa failed to extend their positive streak and suffered a frustrating 0:1 defeat. It is worth highlighting that Unai Emery's side failed to convert several good chances. The club has 54 points remaining, and the Birmingham side is sitting in eighth position in the EPL table.

The Birmingham club continues to fight for a place in the European competitions. It's worth highlighting some interesting statistics regarding the coaches of both teams. The last three meetings between Julen Lopetegui and Unai Emery ended in a 1:1 draw. However, the statistics could change in favor of the visitors. Aston Villa is one of the strongest teams in the EPL in the second round and is better prepared for the upcoming match. We believe the Lions will take the three points.
