Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Aston Villa Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/27/26

Wolves’ relegation from the Premier League is just a case of when and not if, and Aston Villa could push the Old Gold closer to the trapdoor with an edgy victory on Friday. Wanderers had shown some fight at the turn of the year, but Rob Edwards’ men have won just 1 of their 7 matches since a home draw with Newcastle on January 18, and there was no change of luck in a miserable 1-0 loss at Crystal Palace on Sunday. Wolves dominated that contest, winning the shots-on-target count 7-3, but having gone down to 10 men following Ladislav Krejci’s 61st-minute red card, they failed to hold out and were undone by Evann Guessand’s Palace winner in the 90th minute. That summed up Wolves’ season, and a similar outcome looks likely on Friday.

Aston Villa are still sitting pretty in 3rd place but their decline has been steady and they are slipping away from leaders Arsenal and Manchester City. A top-4 spot still remains likely and a priceless 3 points will help on Friday. Villa are expected to secure a low-scoring win as meetings between these 2 rarely catch light and the Villans have been off-color as injuries hit hard. Unai Emery’s men haven’t scored more than 1 goal in any of their last 5 games, and 6 of the last 7 meetings have featured no more than 2 goals. At +278 odds, there’s great value in that happening again here.
