Team Analysis: Aston Villa
Aston Villa are currently in a very good position, considering that they have achieved solid results at home in the last few months. However, a 3-0 defeat away to Newcastle United in the last match on Christmas Day points to problems in away games. This defeat was extremely controversial, as Jhon Duran was shown a red card for an alleged tackle on Fabian Schar, making things even more difficult for Villa. The team’s current form shows that their home ground is the key to staying in the race for the Champions League, as it is the only segment of the game where they have achieved stability. Villa have suffered just one defeat in their last 14 home games – against Arsenal in August – although they have won their last three games at home, showing good form in front of their home fans. If they want to stay in the race for a Champions League place, Villa must continue their good results at their home stadium. It is important that they avoid defeat, as this could seriously jeopardize their ambitions.
With the new return of Ollie Watkinson to the team, although Jhon Duran will be suspended due to a red card, Villa have plenty of options in attack, but they still have a problem with discipline, as Matty Cash will not play due to a fifth yellow card. If Jacob Ramsey, who is injured, is fit, it would be an additional boost for the team. The team under the leadership of Unai Emery will be looking for a recovery after the defeat against Newcastle, and their home ground is crucial at the moment to continue the fight for a high ranking.
Team analysis: Brighton
Brighton are in poor form at the moment, a far cry from what they provided at the start of the season. The latest streak without a win has lasted six games, which is their longest losing streak in the last three years. In the last match against Brentford, Brighton played 0-0, although they had a lot of shots on goal, but they failed to create enough chances. This low efficiency has become a serious problem for a team that at the beginning of the season looked like a possible candidate for the top four.
What is particularly worrying for Brighton is their performance away from home, where they have failed to pick up many points. With just four wins in their last 22 away matches, their side’s form is far from satisfactory. This team is currently in 10th place in the Premier League, and if they don’t reverse their negative streak, they could drop lower in the table and enter the fight for survival. The return of Solly Marsh from a serious injury is a good sign, but they will also be missing some key players such as James Milner and Danny Welbeck. In addition, Evan Ferguson, who has often been a key figure in the attack, is also injured and his return is still uncertain.
Betting Tip: Aston Villa to Win (1)
Based on the current form of both teams, the betting suggestion would be for Aston Villa to win (1). Although Brighton have a good squad and can be dangerous, their form away from home and generally lackluster performances of late suggest they will struggle against a stable Aston Villa at home. Villa rely on their home ground and given that they are regularly successful at their home stadium, we believe they will continue their good results at home and will suffer only minimal changes due to injuries and suspensions.
