Team Analysis
Aston Villa will be hoping to return to winning ways here after a 3-0 Premier League loss in their previous game against Newcastle United.

In that game, Aston Villa had 37% possession and 4 attempts on goal with 1 on target. At the other end, Newcastle United had 22 attempts at goal with 8 of them on target. Anthony Gordon (2'), Alexander Isak (59') and Joelinton (91') scored for Newcastle United.

It’s been all too rare in recent times that Aston Villa haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Aston Villa have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 9 goals along the way.

In their previous fixture, Brighton drew 0-0 in the Premier League match with Brentford.

In that match, Brighton & Hove Albion had 58% possession and 24 attempts on goal with 7 of them on target. On the other side, Brentford had 8 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target.

Brighton & Hove Albion have seen success in front of goal of late, scoring 6 times in their previous 6 matches. While their manager Fabian Hürzeler will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Brighton & Hove Albion can also improve defensively after being scored against in 5 of those same matches. That trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this next game, though.

Odds Analysis
We feel that in this game, Brighton & Hove Albion have the firepower to put a goal past this Aston Villa lineup, but that probably won’t quite be as many as the goals that they could concede. We reckon that it will be a 2-1 victory for Aston Villa at the end of the 90 minutes. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
