Aston Villa
Aston Villa has shown a mixed performance this season, with some impressive victories at home. The team has been solid defensively, especially when playing at Villa Park, where they have managed to keep clean sheets in several matches. However, their inconsistency in away games has been a concern for the manager.
- The team has not lost in 4 of their last 5 home matches in the Premier League (3 wins, 1 draw).
- Aston Villa has not conceded more than one goal in 90 minutes in their last six home games in the league.
- The number "1" has appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 5 of Aston Villa's last 7 home matches in the Premier League.
Southampton
Southampton has struggled this season, particularly in away matches where they have found it difficult to secure victories. The team has shown some resilience, but their defensive frailties have often been exposed by stronger opponents. They will be looking to turn their fortunes around with a positive result against Aston Villa.
- The team has not won in their last four away matches in the Premier League (1 draw, 3 losses).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 5 of Southampton's last 7 away games in the league.
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in regular time in 5 of Southampton's last 7 away matches in the Premier League.
Aston Villa vs. Southampton: Match Prediction
Aston Villa has been strong at home, often managing to keep their opponents at bay with solid defensive performances. Southampton, on the other hand, has struggled to find form away from home. Considering both teams' recent performances, this match is likely to be closely contested.
Given the defensive strengths of Aston Villa and the struggles of Southampton on the road, I do not expect this match to be high-scoring. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
Everton
Liverpool
