Aston Villa vs Liverpool Match Preview And Prediction
Aston Villa vs Liverpool: The final match of Matchday No. 37, which takes place at home against Liverpool, is the next big event in Aston Villa’s hectic schedule. In the run-in, the Lions are no longer as strong. They were ousted from the UEFA Conference League in the semi-final after giving up six goals in a doubleheader against Olympiakos Piraeus.
Villa was helpless in the rematch against the Greeks following a depressing 2-4 setback in the first leg at home. On Thursday night in the port of Piraeus, they lost 0–2. It was Unai Emery and his troops’ third consecutive loss in all competitions. They have a seven-point lead over Spurs, who still have a game to play, and are still fourth in the Premier League rankings.
Liverpool has finally turned things around after some recent setbacks. Last Sunday, they easily defeated Tottenham 4-2 in front of their home crowd. Harvey Elliott and Mohamed Salah were the primary forces behind the win.
Lately, Aston Villa hasn’t been uprooting trees. Clearly, fatigue has taken over their team. At this point in the season, the Lions are simply unaccustomed to playing three times a week. Unai Emery is having a lot of trouble with his players’ current lack of defensive rigor.
It says volumes that Ayoub El Kaabi, the leading scorer for Olympiakos, scored five goals in two Conference League semifinal matches against Aston Villa. Liverpool only defeated Spurs by four goals the previous weekend.
