The Wanderers to beat Villa by 3 - 0

This is the first time this season I feel so bullish about the Wolves. They have come of age and despite the small squad of about 21, Nuno has managed to blood several youngsters and certainly some have proven their mettle in the European and Carabao Cup games. 

It is definately a good sign that the team has got strength in depth, and following the injuriestto Wily Boly, and Romain Saiss, Ryan Bennett, Nuno has managed to find good replacements in the form of Neto, Vinagre (excellent),Kilman and even Patrick Cutrone.

Today's match against Aston Villa will be a Midlands derby and though the Villa are not very consistent, Wolves are peaking right now with  Raul Jiminez, Diego Jota, Adama Traore all scoring lots of goals.

Defensively, Wolves need to be more rock solid, and Patricio has let in some pretty tame goals, he should buck up. Coady had made some howlers in the past, as has Dendoncker and Saiss too. Its easy to blame the defenders when a goal against the team is scored, but if they can replicate their form as they did against Man City 3 weeks ago, they are practically unbeatable and can trump any team in the Premier League.

I am optimistic tonight, they will show their bite and win the derby by 3 - 0.

Kickoff Time is 10.00 pm.   




Post Script : I was wrong about the scoreline, Villa struck late into extra-time to edge the scoreline to 2 - 1 ; Hats off to them though. They played their hearts out.

Well done the Wanderers !!!
