Aston Villa vs Southampton – Aston Villa comes into this match following a scoreless draw in the Premier League against Manchester City. Aston Villa had 27% of the possession in that game and 3 shots on goal, with 1 of those being successful.
Leon Bailey was the lone player for Aston Villa to register a goal (74′). Manchester City made 13 attempts on goal at the other end, scoring four of them. Manchester City scored a goal in the fifty-first second.
Aston Villa has recently struggled to stop opponents from scoring goals, despite finding methods to score goals themselves. Aston Villa has been penalised defensively in 6 of their last 6 games while also managing to score in 5 of those contests, according to an analysis of those games.
Leaving that aside, we must now wait to see if the pattern will continue in this game. Southampton will be looking to avenge their setback to Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out in Premier League action.
Southampton had 49% of the possession in that game and 1 of its 12 shots on goal were successful. 7 shots were made at goal for Wolverhampton Wanderers, and 2 of them were successful. Wolverhampton Wanderers scored in the 45th minute through Daniel Podence.
The numbers don’t lie; Southampton has allowed goals in 5 of their last 6 games, and opponents have scored 6 goals overall. Southampton’s defence has shown its weaknesses.
Aston Villa vs Southampton – Betting Analysis
Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard is without Diego Carlos (Achilles tendon rupture) and Jed Steer (Achilles tendon issues). Ralph Hasenhüttl, the manager of Southampton, has some current concerns about player fitness.
Roméo Lavia (Hamstring Injury) and Tino Livramento (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) will be unable to play in this match. Although Southampton appears to be able to get through this Aston Villa team’s defence, it won’t likely be enough to prevent a defeat. We predict that Aston Villa will win by a score of 2-1 in the final minutes. I’m hoping it’s a good one.
