Wolves are taking on Aston Villa at the weekend – and Paul Merson has made his score predicition.
Wanderers go into the game on a high after the 2-1 win over Manchester City.
Villa are up next, and they have been flying under Unai Emery.
It will be another tough game, but one that can be very winnable if the Molineux crowd is as good as it was last weekend…
Paul Merson makes prediction for Wolves vs Aston Villa
Merson has been casting his eye over this weekend’s Premier League fixtures.
Wolves vs Villa is certainly eye catching, and could really go either way.
As has very often been the case this season with Merson, he is predicting Wolves to lose 2-1. He said (Sportskeeda): “Who saw Man City’s defeat against Wolves coming last week?
“That’s why we love football – no one in their wildest dreams would’ve expected that result. I’m not too shocked that Aston Villa won their game, but their margin of victory was exceptional.
“Aston Villa will play on the counter – they’ll sit back and wait for Wolves to come on to them. Wolves implemented a similar strategy against City last week, but I’m not sure they’ll be able to pull it off against Villa.”
Wolves can beat Aston Villa.
Villa had a statement win last weekend, beating Brighton 6-1.
This will not be an easy game and Emery is undoubtedly a top manager.
But Wolves are the home side and they can make life difficult for Villa.
The crowd will be especially important. We saw the role it played in last weekend’s win over City.
