⚽ Premier League - Round 5 Preview

📅 21 Sep 2024

⏰ 15:00 GMT +1

🏟 Villa Park (Birmingham)

Aston Villa continued their impressive start to the season with a dominant 3-0 win over Young Boys in the UEFA Champions League, marking their return to Europe's elite competition for the first time since the 1980s. This result followed their thrilling 3-2 comeback victory over Everton in the Premier League. Despite their success on the pitch, Villa's week was bittersweet as the club mourned the loss of Gary Shaw, a key figure in their historic league and European Cup-winning side. Manager Unai Emery dedicated their midweek victory to Shaw, and Villa will be eager to honor his legacy with another strong performance as they seek consecutive home league wins for the first time this year.

Wolves, on the other hand, have endured a tough start to the season, with their 2-1 loss to Newcastle marking their worst four-game start since returning to the Premier League in 2018 (D1, L3). Despite their recent struggles, Wolves have a decent record in this Midlands rivalry, losing just one of the last seven head-to-heads (W3, D3). Their last defeat at Villa Park came last season in a 2-0 loss, signaling the shift in the balance of power in the region, with Villa clearly on the rise. Wolves will need to dig deep to avoid extending their winless run in away league games, which currently stands at eight matches (D3, L5).

💡 Aston Villa vs Wolves Prediction

Aston Villa's form has been excellent, especially at home, while Wolves are struggling for results. The momentum appears to be with Villa, and they are likely to control this match. Wolves' poor start and difficulty in closing out games may leave them vulnerable to another defeat, particularly against an in-form Villa side boosted by recent successes.
