Liverpool vs Aston Villa Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 3rd September 2023

Matchday 4 of the new Premier League season sees Aston Villa pay Liverpool a visit at the Anfield in what promises to be a gruelling affair.

Liverpool are currently just ahead of Aston Villa by one point in the Premier League table. While the hosts are number four with seven points, the guests rank as number seven in the standings.

With the gap between Liverpool and Aston Villa being only one point, the former currently occupy number four in the table. The latter trail them at number seven.

Separated only by a narrow margin, a win for Aston Villa in their upcoming Premier League clash will see them swap positions with Liverpool. Thus, a highly competitive match surely awaits at Anfield.

Liverpool show off very admirable numbers from their past ten matches, as they scored 2.2 goals on average per match. That makes a total of 22 goals, whilst they allowed 12 goals against, for an average of 1.2 per outing. They pulled off three clean sheets.

Aston Villa average 1.5 goals per game, scoring 15 times, while conceding 12. That makes an average of 1.2 per game, with clean sheet in two as well in their previous ten matches.

Betting on the draw would have earned you a sound profit the last time Liverpool played Aston Villa. The pair split the points in a 1-1 match, where no one managed to get the upper hand.

Liverpool vs Aston Villa Prediction

Liverpool Form

Their last three matches saw Liverpool drawing 1-1 with Chelsea, before taking out Bournemouth by 3-1, and Newcastle by 1-2. Liverpool won five of their last six Premier League matches at the Anfield, scoring 13 and conceding seven along they way. They also drew once as they remained without defeat.

Liverpool would probably consider anything lower than at least a second place finish a disappointment. The hosts have one eye on a title challenge and know a good start is imperative.

Aston Villa Form

In their last three matches, Aston Villa first beat Hibernian 0-5, then Burnley by 1-3 and finally Hibernian by 3-0. Aston Villa claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Premier League. They also drew two and were defeated three times, as they were outscored by ten goals to six.

Liverpool are understandable the favourites to win the Premier League this season and nothing but the title will be considered a failure for the ambitious club.

Liverpool have built up a nice momentum, and we doubt Aston Villa are capable of getting in the way of the home side at Anfield, as we aim for the home win.
