Aston Villa – Southampton : Preview & Prediction
Aston Villa host Southampton on Matchday 28 in the Premier League, two teams who have no objective this season, apart from the F.A Cup for Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side. The Saints have been in fine form since the end of January and have now gone seven games without defeat, winning four and drawing three. Che Adams’ team-mates took advantage of this good momentum to defeat the PL’s fifth-placed team, West Ham, in the cup, winning twice in a row against Everton and Norwich with the same result. Having won the first leg 1-0, one of the country’s port cities will be hoping to repeat the performance and come away with all three points this Saturday afternoon.
As far as Villa are concerned, the last few weeks have been more inconsistent than their opponents. Only two small victories since 2022 and then three defeats and two draws in the last seven league games. After two consecutive defeats against Newcastle and Watford, the Villains bounced back at Brighton with a nice 2-0 win. The Steven Gerrard-coached side has shown some good form on the road recently (only one goal conceded in three games) and will be looking to build on that success to achieve a 6/6 record, something that has not happened since November 2021!
