Wolves vs Aston Villa Bet Builder boosted to 6/1

Aston Villa have endured a difficult run at Molineux in recent seasons, but Unai Emery’s men will be eager to change that when they face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Friday night.

Villa are winless in their last four trips to their West Midlands rivals, having repeatedly come unstuck on Wolves’ home patch.

With the hosts seemingly bound for a return to the Championship next season, this presents a prime opportunity for Villa to turn the tide and make amends for the points they have let slip at Molineux in recent years.

Aston Villa to Win, Both Teams to Score (Yes), Both Teams to be Carded (Yes), Ollie Watkins to Score Anytime – was 6/1 now 7/1

Aston Villa to win

An Aston Villa win forms the foundation of this bet builder, with Wolves winless in their last four home games in the Premier League.

A last win in the league for Wolves was back on January 3rd, while Villa have been showing enough form away from home to suggest they can end their wait for three points at Molineux.

Unai Emery’s side, who are currently in third place in the Premier League standings with 10 points between themselves and frontrunners Arsenal, have suffered just one defeat in their last 11 away games in all competitions and the Villans to claim the spoils and the bragging rights on Friday night appeals here.

Both teams to score

While Villa should have the quality over the game to claim all three points, a Wolves side desperate for points won’t let the visitors have it all their own way.

Wolves have found the back of the net in all of their last four home games against Villa and would be little surprise to see the hosts get on the scoresheet again in this one.

Ollie Watkins anytime goalscorer

Striker Ollie Watkins saw a goal ruled out for offside in a 1-1 draw against Leeds United in Villa’s previous outing and, with the World Cup on the horizon this summer in the USA, Canada and Mexico, the England international will be eager to rediscover his scoring touch.

The forward has been particularly effective on his travels, with four of his last five Premier League goals coming away from home, finding the net at Chelsea, Arsenal and Newcastle United during that run.

Having also scored against Wolves in the league last term, Watkins looks well placed to get his name on the scoresheet once again on Friday night.

Both teams to be carded

There is certainly no love lost when Wolves and Aston Villa face off and a fiery game under the lights at Molineux can be expected this week.

Looking back at the recent fixtures at this ground between these two rivals, in all of their last six meetings at Molineux both teams have picked up bookings.

Even landing three red cards across those six matches, challenges tend to go flying in and both teams to be carded on Friday night completes this four-fold bet builder that comes in at odds of 13/2.
