LiontipsAston Villa vs Southampton. Prediction (odds 2.32) and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Aston Villa winless streak lasted almost a month and a half, taking into account all tournaments. However, in the last round of the Premier League, the Birmingham team managed to beat Brentford 3-1 at home. In fact, the result of that meeting was formalized in the first half, when Unai Emery men scored three goals. Even despite the long-awaited victory, Aston Villa is still outside the top 6. The team is in seventh place with 22 points, but only on additional indicators is behind Fulham, who are in sixth place.
Disqualifications and injuries
Onana and Ramsey, who have been in the hospital for a long time, will not play.
Interesting trends for betting
- Both teams have scored in nine of Aston Villa last 12 Premier League games
- Birmingham have suffered only three defeats in their last 12 Premier League matches
Probable line-up: Martinez - Cash, Mings, Torres, Digne - Barkley, Tielemans - Bailey, Rodgers, McGinn - Watkins.
Current form
Southampton continue to fight for survival. The players give their all in every match, but it brings great success. We can recall a good match with Liverpool, where they scored two goals, but still lost 2:3. There was also an away draw with Brotherton (1:1). However, in general, it is noticeable that in class, the Saints are inferior to many representatives of the Premier League. In the last round, Russell Martin team completely failed in defense in the confrontation with Chelsea (1:5). In the tournament table, Southampton is in last place with five points, and the gap from the saving 17th line is seven points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Stevens will serve a suspension. Bazunu, Lallana, Ramsdale, Smallbone and Stewart are all out with injuries. Onuachu and Bednarek are doubtful.
Interesting trends for betting
- Southampton have been behind in the first half in three of their last four matches
- In seven of the Saints' previous ten Premier League matches, both teams have scored goals
Probable line-up: Lumley – Walker-Peters, Harwood-Bellis, Wood – Sugawara, Downes, Fernandes, Mannig – Dibling, Archer, Armstrong.

10.00Tip and bets
As the match against Chelsea showed, Southampton defensive problems have not disappeared and with such obvious failures in their penalty area it will be hard to count on points today. Moreover, Aston Villa players will clearly be on a decent emotional high after they managed to break a protracted series of failures. We believe that the Birmingham team will have no problem dealing with the outsider.
Our prediction is Aston Villa to win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) at odds of 1.90
Bet on total
Southampton have failed to score in two of their last three away games. We don't think the Saints will be able to surprise the Birmingham side with their fairly straightforward attacking play today.
