Brighton vs Aston Villa Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 5th May 2024

Brighton face Aston Villa at The American Express Community Stadium in one of the last matches of the season, as only three rounds remain in this current Premier League campaign.

Brighton as well as Aston Villa suffered disappointing defeats in their most previous match. This could lead to a cautious encounter as neither side naturally fancies losing once again already.

Brighton scored nine times in the last ten outings for an average of 0.9 goals a game. They conceded 17 and managed three clean sheets.

Aston Villa are brimming with confidence in front of goal before the upcoming away match in the Premier League, as they can show off very handsome numbers from their previous ten games. The visitors scored 2.1 times on average per match, for a total of 21 goals. They also let in 19 goals, leaving an average of 1.9 per match. They fought their way to two clean sheets.

Aston Villa got the better of The Seagulls in the last two h2h meetings, winning by 6-1 and 2-1, respectively.

Brighton vs Aston Villa Prediction

Brighton Form

A single point is all Brighton can show for their efforts in the past three matches. They managed a 1-1 draw with Burnley, before getting trounced 0-4 against Manchester City while Bournemouth won 3-0. Brighton only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Premier League matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew two and lost two, as they scored six and conceded nine goals.

Aston Villa Form

In their previous three matches, Aston Villa won 3-1 against Bournemouth, drew 2-2 with Chelsea before losing 2-4 against Olympiacos. Aston Villa won four times in their last six away games in the Premier League, in which they drew once and lost once. They conceded eight goals while scoring 14 themselves.

Form looks slightly more in favour of Aston Villa than odds suggests. We believe the bookmakers have placed a little too much faith in Brighton and we like the prices on offer for the away win.

Brighton fought their way to two wins and seven points from their last ten games against teams inside the top six. They were on target 13 times in these matches, but also let in 26 goals. Brighton are looking at a record of 11 wins, 11 draws and 12 defeats in the Premier League this season. Aston Villa have a record of 20 wins, seven draws and eight defeats in the Premier League.
