Both Wolves and their colleagues for the day to deal with PL elite match-days. Villa confused on the road by champions Manchester City.
The first half had ended on even terms, but the title-holder and switch gears after the break, and see the results immediately. Raheem Sterling continues hot streak, and then two more were added by state-treble winners to post three points on the board.
Wolves meanwhile, did an impressive job in holding former champions Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. It looked as if the hosts would cruise to victory, courtesy goals Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. But late fixture, the 76th minutes to be exact, guests struck to equalize and go back to the point later.
Sunday's game, the home advantage will definitely come into play. Consider that Wolves have lost just once in ten previous matches their day, and impressive just two of the previous twenty-three of their appearance in front of the home crowd.
On the other hand, the Villa is a new addition to this competition and struggling to keep their levels in the bond going. In addition, the home side have the upper hand in the clashes recently h2h also, and importantly, in this stadium, the hosts won two meetings prior to that as well.
All these factors combine to help us create a top-pick, a win for Wolves. However, to be on the safe side, we would opt for the DNB.
Coming to the destination, taking into account the inability of the Wolves back line 'to keep a clean sheet in five of their previous battle, and in seven of their last eight at home.
