Aston Villa vs Chelsea Match Preview And Prediction
Aston Villa vs Chelsea: After defeating Bournemouth and Arsenal in the league, Aston Villa scored five goals in a row. Chelsea is coming to Birmingham fresh off a 0–5 loss to Arsenal. Ollie Watkins leads the division in goals scored, one goal behind Erling Haaland and Cole Palmer.
The evening match between Chelsea and Aston Villa will conclude a packed Premier League Saturday program from Villa Park. After defeating Arsenal and Bournemouth in the league back-to-back, the hosts will be in considerably better spirits going into the match.
Aston Villa’s consecutive league victories in the preceding two rounds were a significant step in securing their Champions League spot. In the home game against Bournemouth last Saturday, they gave up an early goal, but they responded with incredible fortitude. A 3-1 victory was secured by Morgan Jacobs, Moussa Diaby, and Leon Bailey, with two assists from Ollie Watkins.
With Chelsea, the situation is entirely the reverse. They have experienced a true catastrophe in Tuesday night’s London derby against Arsenal. At Emirates Stadium, Mauricio Pochettino’s team lost to the Gunners 0–5. The team’s aspirations for Europe have been severely impacted by the loss. Chelsea’s position in the league table plummeted to ninth.
Aston Villa vs Chelsea: Betting Analysis
Almost three months ago, these two teams faced off in the FA Cup’s fourth round. In the replay, Chelsea won 3-1 on the road to progress. A goalless draw was reached in the opening leg at Stamford Bridge. In the first half of the Premier League season, Aston Villa triumphed 1-0 in the rematch.
Out of the six prior head-to-head meetings between these rivals, just one resulted in goals for both sides. In the last two league rounds, Aston Villa put up a pair of outstanding displays against Bournemouth and Arsenal. They had won four of the previous five league games by a minimum of two goals.
In addition, the Lions have one of the league’s finest home records. This Premier League season, they have played 17 home games; they have won 12, drawn 2, and lost 3.
Given how awful Chelsea seemed in North London on Tuesday night, it is difficult to ignore the home victory selection. In their last four away league games, the Blues have not won. Villa is our choice to win at 2.25 odds. The defensive line for Chelsea has been inconsistent lately. They had a terrible performance four days earlier in the 0–5 loss to Arsenal. Ollie Watkins will be listening to this as music.
