Brighton & Hove Albion - Aston Villa predictions

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.10, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

Aston Villa are not a team that backs down from a challenge and we expect them to give their best in an effort to claim a victory in this match.

The hosts are coming off from a solid display in the previous game of the Premier League. It’s fair to say that taking an early lead in a difficult away game raised a couple of eyebrows. However, Brighton & Hove Albion ere unable to pull a major surprise and ended up taking a point in a Brighton_AST_ROUND_AWAY which is nothing to scoff at.

Villans also played an away game last week and managed to snag a surprising 0:1 victory. Top online bookmakers saw this outcome as very unlikely, pricing it at 3.09. Despite all the disadvantages, though, the score remained inconclusive for most of the game, after which Aston Villa took an unexpected lead.

The Seagulls can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 9 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Villans. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

Albion’s 7th placement on the table is 1 point behind a Europa League qualification. They’ll have to scramble to get every point possible if they want to end the season on a high note, and time is running out.

If Villans want to end this Premier League campaign on a high note, they’ll have to earn the 3 points they need for a Europa Leauge qualification quickly. However, most bookies price an away win at 3.35, so the road there will be even more challenging than it seems.

At this point, the clash between these two teams is notorious for producing inconclusive results. They already have several tied matches on record in this season alone, which is ultimately worse for the home team who are considered favourites.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Joël Veltman, Tariq Lamptey, Adam Webster are all sidelined due to injury, which makes The Seagulls’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.55, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
