Charlie Nicholas makes prediction for Aston Villa vs Wolves

Aston Villa are preparing to host Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday, June 27. Ahead of the game, Sky Sports Charlie Nicholas has made his prediction for the clash. "I am always so in between with Aston Villa. Everyone knows my thoughts on Wolves and what real potential they have of getting a top-four spot. Man Utd are getting the headlines, but Wolves are on the same points. Man Utd have pleasant games but so do Wolves," wrote Nicholas. "There will be added interest in this being a local derby and it does become harder. We can look at the profile of the Merseyside derby and see how poor the then champions-elect were. "Jack Grealish did not play well against Newcastle but Villa managed to get a point. Their problems up front remain, while the midfield made mistakes. They did create chances but I will continue with Wolves and the roll they are on. "Leicester could get dragged out into the top-four race if their results do not pick up, but I do see Wolves winning this. If Villa sit in and get a point, what good will that do? With the current scenario, it may get them out of danger, but they will not be comfortable - they must start winning football matches. Villa have to open up and go for it. Dean Smith does still not trust his side to play two up front. "The wide men did play better at Newcastle, but Wolves have three at the back and two wing backs, so how will they stop them coming forward? Adama Traore, Diogo Jota and Raul Jimenez have it all, and this will be another example of Wolves being solid. As soon as there is a weakness, Nuno Espirito Santo's team jump all over it. They know how to win and keep clean sheets, but they will get the job done without one here." Charlie Nicholas' score prediction for the game: 1-3 source - Sky Sports
