Liverpool vs Aston Villa: betting tip (cf 3.30) and bets on the English Premier League match

Current form

The fall of Liverpool continues, and the chair under Arne Slot is decently shaky. Record money was spent on transfers in the summer, but so far the expectations are completely unfulfilled. In many ways, the blame for the failures lies precisely with the coach, who over the past time has not been able to create a single whole from a scattering of stars. The series of defeats in the Premier League reached the mark of four matches, in which nine goals were conceded, and the star attack could not compensate for these failures in defense, although they regularly scored.

Liverpool are only in seventh place in the standings after nine rounds. From the point of view of the fight for the top 4, nothing terrible has happened yet: the gap from Sunderland, which closes the top four, is only two points. Another thing is that the bet was originally on the championship title, but now Arsenal is already ahead by seven points. In the last round, the Merseysiders failed to cope with Brentford on the road - a 2:3 defeat.

Arne Slot sacrificed the League Cup this week, and actually released a reserve squad for the 1/8 finals match against Crystal Palace, which led to a 0:3 defeat. Only the game itself will show how much this will help today with Aston Villa, but in general the team has a huge selection of excellent performers, it is unlikely that the reason for the current crisis lies only in in banal fatigue. Rather, there are a number of reasons for this: numerous injuries, a lack of consistency in the squad, and frequent defensive failures.

Disqualifications and injuries

Bajcetic, Dunns, Leonie, Alisson, Frimpong and Isak will not play due to injuries. Gravenberch and Jones are in question.

Interesting betting trends

• Liverpool have conceded at least two goals in their last four Premier League matches.
• In six of Liverpool's eight previous matches, no more than three offsides were recorded.
• The exchange of goals was in 12 of the last 14 games of the Merseysiders in the Premier League.

The approximate line-up: Mamardashvili – Bradley, Konate, van Dijk, Kerkez – Soboslai, McAllister – Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo – Ekitike.

Current form

Aston Villa had their own crisis, which came at the start of the season and which they managed to overcome. Right now, based on the latest results, we have one of the best teams in the Premier League. In the previous seven matches, taking into account all tournaments, the Birmingham team won six times. The only setback in this segment came in an away game in the Europa League with the Go Ahead Eagles (1:2).

In the Premier League, Aston Villa posted a four-game winning streak and climbed to eighth place with 15 points. Liverpool is ahead, which has better additional indicators. It is impossible not to mention the pragmatic football of Unai Emery: nine goals scored and eight goals conceded. With such indicators, scoring 15 points in attack is definitely worth a lot. On the other hand, it was the focus on defense that had a positive effect and led to improved results. In the last round, the lions withstood the onslaught of Manchester City's attack at home and achieved a 1-0 victory.

Aston Villa left the League Cup at the previous stage, did not play during the week, purposefully prepared for a trip to Liverpool. It has not been possible to win against the Merseysiders since 2020, but at the same time, a draw was recorded in three of the five previous face-to-face confrontations.

Disqualifications and injuries

Thielemans, Garcia and Elliott will not play in the match due to injuries.

Interesting betting trends

• Aston Villa have a five-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League.
• In four of the five previous Birmingham matches in the Premier League, an exchange of goals was recorded.
• In three of Aston Villa's last five matches, there has been a draw in the first half.

Approximate composition: Martinez – Cash, Consa, Torres, Dinh – Onana, Camara – Gessan, Rogers, McGinn – Watkins.
