"Rob Edwards' men have been playing much better of late but remain 17 points back of safety with only 30 left to claim this season. Villa are still looking to refind their momentum after a red-hot first 18 weeks of the season, but they're unbeaten in three Premier League matches and sitting third on the table."
"Unai Emery and his Europa League Round of 16 entrants have slipped 10 points back of first-place Arsenal and five behind Man City. With fourth-place Manchester United three points behind and both Chelsea and Liverpool another three back, Champions League qualification is now in sincere jeopardy."
"Villa really need to find a strong performance and a convincing win, while Wolves will look to this match as a good chance to give the home stadium some hope ahead of two visits from Liverpool (PL and FA Cup)."
Wolves and Aston Villa meet Friday at Molineux in a Premier League Midlands derby. Wolves remain in severe relegation danger, sitting 17 points below safety with only 30 points available this season, though recent performances have improved under Rob Edwards. Aston Villa, currently third, seek to regain momentum after a strong start to the season but have slipped 10 points behind Arsenal and face pressure on Champions League qualification. Villa are unbeaten in three league matches. Wolves will be without Hee-chan Hwang due to injury, while Villa face multiple absences including Tielemans, McGinn, and Kamara. The match is predicted to end in a 1-1 draw.
