On January 4, Villa Park (Birmingham) will host the match of the 19th round of the English Premier League, in which Aston Villa will compete with Wolverhampton. The battle will start at 21:00 CET.

Aston Villa

The club, after a year under the rule of Steven Gerrard, begins, as every fan would like to believe, a new era. It is obvious that Birmingham has got considerable ambitions, and it is not in vain that they are trying to sign the contracts with João Felix and even Eden Hazard. For the higher mentioned purpose, Unai Emery has been working as a head coach since November. It goes without saying that the Spanish specialist is eager to realize himself in England and redeem himself for his previous failure in Arsenal. After having appeared in a new club, the coach pleasantly surprised with the victory over Manchester United as well as in the away match with Brighton, where the team also took 3 points. December started with a very difficult schedule. The defeat in the home struggle against motivated Liverpool is more than predictable. But after that, there was a confident and logical win: Tottenham, another unstable giant, was beaten with a 2-0 score.

Wolverhampton

The team is no longer considered to be “a giant-killer” as it was after returning to the Premier League, under the rule of Nuno Espírito Santo. Still, the previous season was pretty good. It did not save Bruno Lage – he was fired after a terrible start. However, with the interim coach, Steven Davis, the situation got worse. There were defeats, except overcoming of Leeds in the EFL Cup, even under Julen Lopetegui in November. Finally, following one more success with Gillingham in the higher mentioned EFL Cup, the team was able to take an important strong-willed victory over a direct competitor, Everton, in December. Ait Nouri's goal in the 5th added minute of the match became a decisive one. The team could take points in the struggle with Manchester United. But Rashford, who is more than in great shape, scored the only goal in the 2nd half.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Wolverhampton has won 4 of the previous 6 matches, among which one can find a single defeat. The maximum was achieved a season before.

Predictions

Bookmakers consider Aston Villa to be the favourite. But both Spanish specialists, who arrived to England a couple of months ago, are pretty pragmatic. Thus, it's worth taking “total: under 2.5” (odd: 1.82).
