Chelsea vs Aston Villa Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 24th September 2023

When Aston Villa arrive at Stamford Bridge on Sunday to face Chelsea in the Premier League, the latter will be hoping to use their home turf to their advantage.

A look at the Premier League standings shows that four points and seven places currently separate the two teams.

Aston Villa will be aiming to extend their lead over Chelsea when they meet in the Premier League on this coming Sunday. The hosts, however, will be determined to prevent this and make sure their next opponents remain within reach.

Chelsea go into their next Premier League match, scoring a humble average of 1.2 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 12 times, while conceding 14. That amounts to an average of 1.4 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring two times.

Aston Villa scored 16 goals, conceded 15 and kept their opponents from scoring one times in their last ten matches.

Chelsea claimed a 2-0 win, while Aston Villa answered back with a 0-2 win in their two most recent meetings.

Chelsea vs Aston Villa Prediction

Chelsea Form

Chelsea added four points to the standings in their previous three matches, where they first beat AFC Wimbledon 2-1. They were then defeated 0-1 against Nottingham Forest, before drawing 0-0 against Bournemouth. Chelsea only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League. They also drew three and lost two of these six encounters, in which they scored seven and conceded seven goals.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Aston Villa might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Premier League looks the most realistic scenario.

Aston Villa Form

Aston Villa are currently a little too inconsistent for their own good. Against Liverpool, they lost 3-0, before winning 3-1 against Crystal Palace. They came out on the losing end once again in a 3-2 defeat against Legia Warszawa. Aston Villa claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Premier League. They also drew one and were defeated four times, as they were outscored by 12 goals to five.

Qualifying for an international tournament is the dream target for Aston Villa, while a top half finish is the least the visitors must accomplish for their latest Premier League campaign.

This particular encounter between Chelsea and Aston Villa looks a little trickier for the favourites, than prices with the bookmakers suggest. All things considered, though, we still believe, the home side has enough about them to pull off a win this coming Sunday.

Chelsea so far pulled off a record of one win, two draws and two defeats in the Premier League this season. Aston Villa are yet to play a draw this season, in stead recording three wins and two defeats in the Premier League.
