Wolves vs Aston Villa predictions, odds, betting tips & team news

Wolves host Aston Villa in a Premier League showdown on Saturday, February 1st at 5:30pm (UK time). Check out our match preview and best bets which include a 16/1 longshot with Sky Bet. 

Morgan Rogers 2+ Fouls Committed (11/10 with Sky Bet)

First up at Molineux, I’m dipping my toe in the player fouls market and I’ve sided with Morgan Rogers to give away two or more in the match. Rogers bagged a hat-trick in the Champions League on Wednesday, but in the Premier League he is on a streak of five consecutive matches in which he has cleared the 2+ fouls committed line. 

Rogers’ foul totals in that sample read 2,3,2,5,3. All other bookmakers have him priced at odds-on to make it six in a row on Saturday, so take the 11/10 offering with Sky Bet.

Ezri Konsa to Score Anytime (16/1 with Sky Bet)

Ezri Konsa may have only scored one league goal this season, but hear me out, as I think his chances of another are greatly increased against Wolves. Wolves have shipped 19 set piece goals (excl. pens) this season, the most of any Premier League side. Combine that with Villa being the second-highest scorers from set pieces this season (9), and the 16/1 for him to score holds more value than the price suggests.

How both teams go into Wolves vs Aston Villa

Aston Villa have had a mixed campaign as they juggle multiple competitions, including Champions League football this season. After enduring a five-game winless streak that included three losses, they have bounced back with five wins in their last ten matches, which featured two losses and two draws. Currently, they are on a five-game unbeaten streak, consisting of two wins and three draws.

Wolves experienced momentary relief after back-to-back wins against fellow strugglers Leicester City and Manchester United, ending their own four-game losing streak. However, they have since entered another winless period and have lost four on the bounce with defeats against Forest, Newcastle, Chelsea and Arsenal.
