The outcome of this evening’s Premier League match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa has been predicted by Paul Merson. The team led by Unai Emery is attempting to win in the top division for the first time since defeating Luton Town away on March 2.

The news that Jacob Ramsey has returned to training and is likely to be added back into the first team after being benched at Kenilworth Road has given the home team hope.

Merson has stated that Wolves may suffer as a result of their numerous injury issues as they travel the small distance of 12 miles south.

The 56-year-old has stated in his weekly predictions for Sportkeeda that the visitors may suffer greatly from Hwang Hee-Chan and Pedro Neto’s absence.

It has been an interesting ride for Gary O’Neil to lead Wolves. He remarked, “There is optimism at the club despite their FA Cup loss against Coventry.

Wolves rely a lot on their front three, and when any of them are struggling, it’s as though the wolf loses its bite. Pedro Neto, Matheus Cunha, and Hwang Hee-Chan have the potential to cause major problems if they are all available.

“All three players are unlikely to feature in this game and are likely to miss it,” Merson continued. Wolves won’t play at their peak this weekend in the final third without their most dangerous players. This season, Aston Villa has been outstanding, and they might blow Wolves out of the water on Saturday. Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-3 Aston Villa is the predicted outcome.

Matheus Cunha has returned to training and is set to feature on Saturday evening; the Brazilian has been a standout performer during the 2023/24 season, scoring nine goals and registering six assists.

Wolves injury situation, per Ben Dinnery’s [Premier Injuries]:

Ruled out, Pedro Neto

Ruled out, Hwang Hee-Chan

25% chance, Craig Dawson

25% chance, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde

100% fit, Matheus Cunha

O’Neil will greatly miss Neto and Hwang, two of his most important attacking cogs. Emery’s team has a chance to achieve a much-needed clean sheet and make amends for the mistakes made in the previous Villa Park defeat to Tottenham Hotspur 1.
