Midlands pride is at stake on Sunday afternoon, as Wolves and Aston Villa face off at Molineux. Both sides come into the game off the back of impressive victories, with Villa thrashing Brighton 6-1 and Wolves inflicting a first defeat of the season on Manchester City. 

Any fans looking for a betting bonus on the match should take a look at our expert prediction. This prediction has been produced exclusively by our writers and can go a long way towards increasing your enjoyment of the game. 

After a tough start to the season, last weekend’s 2-1 win over Manchester City will have done wonders for morale at Molineux. Not only was the victory a famous one, but the overall performance from Gary O’Neill’s men was also hugely impressive.

Some doubts remain over O’Neill’s long term suitability for the manager’s role at Wolves, but for now, he has bought himself some time. Victory over Villa in the local derby will only enhance his reputation, as well as moving Wolves further clear of the relegation zone.

Five wins from their last six Premier League games have put Villa on the edge of the Champions League places. And it’s not just the results that have been impressive, Unai Emery’s team are playing with a flair and verve not seen at Villa Park for many years.

Until recently, the idea of Champions League football coming to Villa Park would have seemed fanciful, but under Emery, it is a realistic ambition for this Villa squad.

Head to Head

Wolves have gone five games unbeaten against Villa and won this fixture 1-0 last season. Since both teams returned to the top flight in 2019, Villa have won just one of the eight encounters between the sides. Overall, Villa hold a 56-44 head-to-head lead.

Our Betting Tip for Today

The current betting odds for the game make Aston Villa slight favourites at 23/20. The home side can be backed at 5/2, with the draw best priced at 13/5.

Local derbies can often produce unlikely results, and whilst Villa are clearly the stronger team, we think Wolves can grab a point. It is worth bearing in mind that the home side will have had over a week without a game, whilst Villa will have had just two days to recover from a Thursday night Europa Conference game.

In a game that could come down to fine margins, the fresher legs of the Wolves players could negate Villa’s superiority and help the home side to a valuable point.
