Wolves vs Aston Villa Competition – English Premier League Stadium: Molineux Stadium Date: 27th February 2026 Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT
Wolverhampton Wanderers host Aston Villa at Molineux Stadium on Friday evening in a Midlands derby that both sides desperately need to win. Wolves are embroiled in a relegation battle with 50 goals conceded and a goal difference of -32, while Villa have their own inconsistency to address — both sides arriving off similar recent sequences of one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five. It promises to be a tense, competitive affair between two clubs pushing in opposite directions in the table.
Wolves’ most recent outing ended in a 1-0 away defeat at Crystal Palace on Sunday, a result that typified their struggles at both ends of the pitch. Prior to that, they drew 2-2 at home to Arsenal in the Premier League. Before that, they won 1-0 away at Grimsby Town in the FA Cup, with a 0-0 away draw at Nottingham Forest and a 1-3 home defeat to Chelsea also in this sequence. Rob Edwards’ side have shipped 50 goals in the league this season — the most of any team in this fixture — and their inability to keep clean sheets remains their defining problem. Molineux will need a big performance to get anything from this Midlands derby.
Aston Villa arrive in slightly better overall league standing but are not convincing either. Their most recent outing was a 1-1 home draw against Leeds United on Saturday. Prior to that, they suffered a 1-3 home loss to Newcastle United in the FA Cup. Before that, they won 1-0 at home to Brighton & Hove Albion in the league, with a 1-1 away draw at AFC Bournemouth and a 0-1 home defeat to Brentford also in this sequence. Villa have a positive goals scored ratio this season, underscoring their attacking quality, but they have been frustratingly inconsistent in the league and will look to rediscover that cutting edge away at Molineux.
The head-to-head record firmly favours Aston Villa, who have won three of the last five meetings with one Wolves victory and one draw. Most recently, Villa claimed a 1-0 home win in November 2025, while Wolves’ only success in this run came in a 2-0 home win in February 2025. Villa have also won 3-1 and 2-0 at home in earlier meetings.
