Wolverhampton Wanderers took a heavy beating from Liverpool in their last game and will be hoping to do better in their next game, when they host Aston Villa in the 12th round of matches in the premier League. Heading to the game, Wolves have 17 points and are placed 10th while Villa are 12th with 15 points. Wolves have no clean sheet in the last four matches and only three in their last 11 ahead of this game, while they have failed to score in two of their last eight games. They have had their low moments this season, but it is worth noting that Wolves have been compact in defence, and have conceded more than one goal in just one of their last eight matches. However, it hasn’t been very rosy in attack, with the team scoring twice in just two of the last 11 matches. With key forward Raul Jimenez out injured, it could be tougher for Wolves, but they have enough firepower upfront to cope. It will excite Wolves playing at home, having gone undefeated in the last four there, with two wins and two clean sheets. They have scored in all their five home league matches this season though only one has produced two or more goals for them. As a result, four of the five matches have registered under 2.5 goals but with two straight wins over Villa, they will be confident heading out there. Wolves have scored in eight straight meetings with Aston Villa.

Aston Villa had a free weekend to reflect on their dipping form after their match against Newcastle United was postponed. They head to this clash on four defeats in the last five matches and with two straight losses against Wolves. In three of their last four matches, they have conceded early goals – in the opening 20 minutes, and went on to lose. Last time out, they conceded a second minute goal against West Ham United and though they managed to level, they still went on to lose. Villa are one of the more open teams in the league and as a result most of their matches are high scoring; each of the last five has produced over 2.5 goals, with just one clean sheet in the process. The team has conceded two or more goals in four of the last five matches, has scored eight goals in the last five matches and conceded 11 goals. They have scored two or more goals in two of their last five matches and will hope to carry this on against a side that has done well at home, even though Villa have also been good on the road, with three wins in four. Villa have also scored in all four away league matches and kept three clean sheets in the matches. Each of their last four away matches in the league has produced over 2.5 goals.
