Live Commentary - Aston Villa vs Wolves | 21.09.2024

Pre-Match

Aston Villa and Wolves will face off at Villa Park on Saturday, September 21, 2024, in a highly anticipated Premier League clash. Both teams have had contrasting starts to the season, with Villa winning two of their opening three games, while Wolves have lost two of theirs. Villa will be looking to continue their good form, while Wolves will be desperate to get their season back on track.

Villa have made a number of impressive signings this summer, including Philippe Coutinho and Diego Carlos. Coutinho has already shown his quality with two goals in three games, while Carlos has added some much-needed steel to the Villa defence. Wolves, on the other hand, have been relatively quiet in the transfer market, with their only major signing being Joao Gomes from Flamengo.

The match is likely to be a close one, with both teams having their own strengths and weaknesses. Villa will be looking to exploit Wolves' weakness at set-pieces, while Wolves will be looking to take advantage of Villa's lack of experience in the Premier League.

Team News

Villa will be without the suspended Matty Cash, while Wolves will be without the injured Nelson Semedo. Otherwise, both teams have a full squad to choose from.

Prediction

Villa are the slight favourites to win the match, but Wolves are more than capable of causing an upset. I predict a narrow 2-1 win for Villa.
