Wolves face Aston Villa this weekend, and Paul Merson has predicted the score.
Wanderers are riding high after their 2-1 victory over Manchester City.
Gary O’Neil’s game strategy to inflict the champions’ first setback was excellent.
Fans are now hoping that Wolves can go on a run.
Villa, who have been flying under Unai Emery, are up next.
It’ll be another difficult game, but one that can be won if the Molineux crowd is as good as it was last Saturday…
Paul Merson predicts Wolves vs. Aston Villa.
Merson has been watching the Premier League games this weekend.
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.
