Aston Villa vs Liverpool Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 15th May 2026

Aston Villa welcome Liverpool at Villa Park this coming Friday for a match in the penultimate round of the current Premier League season.

Aston Villa are looking for a payback after suffering a disappointing defeat in their latest encounter with Liverpool but odds don't favour them to pull it off.

Aston Villa only average a modest 1.3 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 13 goals. They also conceded 19 for an average of 1.9 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring one times.

Liverpool scored 19 goals, conceded 13 and managed two clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

The last time these two sides facing off here came up against each other, Liverpool came away with a 2-0 win. They have a similar outcome in mind at Villa Park, but face stern opposition, of course.

Aston Villa vs Liverpool Prediction

Aston Villa Form

Aston Villa collected one of each from their previous three matches, as they were defeated 1-2 against Tottenham. They retaliated in a 4-0 win against Nottingham Forest, before drawing 2-2 with Burnley. Aston Villa won three of their previous six matches at Villa Park in the Premier League. They drew one and suffered two defeats, scoring ten goals to ten against.

Aston Villa were set on finishing in the top three before the season began, but opportunities are slipping away fast. They can't afford to drop points with so few rounds left.

Liverpool Form

Liverpool achieved a win, a loss and a draw in their previous three matches, starting off beating Crystal Palace 3-1. A 3-2 defeat against Manchester United followed, before drawing with Chelsea in a match resulting 1-1. Liverpool won half their previous six away matches in the Premier League, as well as seeing zero draws and suffering three defeats. They scored eight goals whilst conceding eight.

Most observers thought Liverpool were doomed this season, but they have done very well for themselves and now look into another season in the Premier League.

Liverpool are favourites to claim a win, when visiting Aston Villa, and we like the price on offer for the visitors. The away win is our preferred choice this coming Friday.

Aston Villa earned 13 points from their last eight matches against teams inside the top 6. They claimed four wins, following 12 goals scored while also conceding 12. From their last nine games against teams in the top six, Liverpool secured ten points and three wins. They conceded 15 goals while scoring 13 themselves. Aston Villa claimed 17 wins, eight draws as well as 11 defeats in the Premier League this season. Liverpool are looking at 17 wins, eight draws and 11 defeats in the Premier League.
