EFL1 (Championship), Saturday 14/10/2017 : Wolverhampton Wanderers v Aston Villa, KO 17:30 hours, SKY. My AVF prediction, made on 11/10/2017 (today) : Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-2 Aston Villa
EFL1 (Championship), Saturday 14/10/2017 : Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 Aston Villa Aston Villa's display was as stop-start as the stream, showing no momentum and offered virtually nothing useful in attack all match. Everything was being done tentatively and in consequence, without energy or effect. AVFC remain 7th after this non-result and need to improve radically to ensure that 7th becomes the base rather than the peak of our ambition. Attendance : 30,239 (SSN)
