Brighton – Aston Villa : Preview & Prediction
Meeting in the middle of the table between Brighton, ninth and Aston Villa, thirteenth. Just six points separate the two teams and after a strong start to the season, the Villans are now fighting for their place in the Premier League seven points ahead of relegation-first Burnley. The arrival of Steven Gerrard had done a lot of good for Emiliano Martinez’s group, however, they have just had two defeats on the smallest of scores: 1-0 against Newcastle and Watford, behind Villa in the standings. The Clarets will have to find the resources to regain victory on the road, as they did against Everton on January 22. It’s up to Philippe Coutinho to lead his teammates on the road to success!
Winning a game at Brighton, however, is very difficult. The Seagulls are having a good season being in the first part of the table and can temporarily create a gap with Southampton if successful. Sixth defense in the Premier League with twenty-eight goals conceded, Neal Maupay’s teammates must regain this solidity after two consecutive losses against Manchester United and Burnley and five goals conceded against none scored. Defeated 2-0 in the first leg, the opportunity is great for Graham Potter’s group to take revenge while putting their opponent of the day to nine points.
Brighton has a lower goal average than Villa (25/28 against 31/37).
Brighton remain on four draws and one loss at home to the Villans.
Brighton took just five points from a possible fifteen at home.
Aston Villa have two consecutive clean sheets against Brighton.
Aston Villa have lost two of their last four away games.
Both teams want to find their way back to Premier League success. Advantage Brighton which is a very difficult formation to beat on its ground even if Burnley largely imposed itself last weekend at the American Express Community Stadium. Beware all the same of the offensive talent of Aston Villa which can make the difference at any time. We advise you to play goal for both teams at 1.63.
