Aston Villa v Wolves betting tips: Wolves seek third road win

The last time they won three consecutive away games to nil was in March 1960, and they are 5/1 to win to nil this weekend.

Aston Villa v Wolves head-to-head

Wolves have won four of their last seven league meetings with Aston Villa (D1 L2), more than they had in their previous 27 against the Villans (W3 D10 L14). They are 7/10 to leave with either a win or a draw on the Double Chance market.

Aston Villa have won just one of their last seven home league games against Wolves (D4 L2), winning 4-1 in a Championship match in March 2018.

Seven of their last 12 meetings saw one or other side fail to score and it is 20/23 for that to be the case again.

It is not surprise then that eight of the last 12 meetings saw fewer than three total goals scored. The odds for that to occur again in the Aston Villa v Wolves betting tips are 7/10.

Aston Villa v Wolves key battles

Both sides have been a slow burn this season. Aston Villa (eight of 10) and Wolves (four of five) have scored 80% of their Premier League goals this season in the second half of games, and it is 9/4 that the first goal of the game will be scored in the second half.

Wolves have been creating plenty of chances but have not taken enough of them. It is worth noting that Villa keeper Emiliano Martínez has kept a clean sheet in all three of his Premier League games against Wolves and it is 13/8 that Villa hold Wolves scoreless in the Aston Villa v Wolves betting tips.

Wolves’ Trincão will hope to break his duck sooner or later. He has had 15 shots this season and he is still to register. He may be of interest in the goalscorer markets, along with Raúl Jiménez, who has been involved in Wolves’ last three goals (scoring once and assisting twice).
