Projected Leaders
Simulations I have run project Raúl Jiménez, Diogo Jota, Jack Grealish, John McGinn and Conor Hourihane as the players most likely to score (three of these five players are from Aston Villa).
There is a 27.1 percent chance of a draw. In simulations where the game is not a draw, Wolverhampton Wanderers, at 44.4 percent, are heavy favorites to beat Aston Villa, who have just a 28.5 percent chance to win at home.
The leading scorer for Wolverhampton Wanderers is Raúl Jiménez with a 41 percent chance of getting one or more goals. When he has at least one goal, Wolverhampton Wanderers has a 65 percent chance to win.
Wolverhampton Wanderers is an extremely talented team that has been on fire as of late. Aston Villa will be at home but an empty Villa Park negates any potential home field advantage.
Aston Villa can still avoid relegation but Wolverhampton Wanderers is just on a different level right now and there's a reason why they're the surprise team in the Premier League this season.
