Command Analysis
Southampton
EnglandCurrent form
Southampton lost 1-3 on the road to Tottenham in the last round and lost even their theoretical chances of salvation. The Saints will compete in the Championship again next season. Moreover, the team set an anti–record - no one had previously lost a chance to keep their residence permit following the results of the 31st round. Plus, Southampton, if they don't score at least two points by the end of the season, will become the worst team in the Premier League in terms of points scored per season. After the game with Tottenham, the management decided to dismiss Ivan Yurich from the post of head coach – he failed to save the club from relegation. Simon Rusk has been appointed as Acting Director.

Aston Villa
EnglandCurrent form
Aston Villa has a very difficult schedule right now. Last week, Birmingham played their first Champions League quarterfinal match against PSG on the road, where they were defeated 1:3, although they scored first, after the first half the score was 1:1. Ahead of the second leg, the team is unlikely to give up a ticket to the semifinals without a fight. Meanwhile, in the Premier League, Unai Emery's wards are in the midst of a fight for a place in the Champions League for next season, there is no room for error today. Aston Villa is in seventh place and just two points behind the top 5. In the last three rounds, the lions have scored a maximum of nine points and will clearly bet on building on their success in the game with the outsider.

11.50Tip and bets
Aston Villa have a very busy schedule right now, on the other hand, Birmingham have been playing in a tight schedule all season and are generally coping with it successfully. Moreover, Southampton is an outsider in the competition today, and the guests definitely cannot lose points, since the fight for a ticket to the Champions League is in full swing. The Saints may surprise and slam the door after Ivan Yurich's retirement, but this is unlikely to happen in a game against an outclassed and seriously motivated opponent.
Our betting tip is for Aston Villa to win with an Asian handicap (-1) by a factor of 1.93
Bet on the total
Southampton has been playing bold football for a long time, not afraid to take risks, as there is not much to lose. It is no coincidence that in 9 of the Saints' last 11 matches in the Premier League, an exchange of goals was recorded. Aston Villa is quite capable of supporting such an open football.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.67
A bet on yellow cards
In the last 11 face-to-face matches in the Premier League, Southampton players have only received more than one warning once. We are not expecting too rough a game played by the hosts today.
Betting Tip – the total number of yellow cards of Southampton is less than 1.5 with a coefficient of 2.15
