Aston Villa’s Europa League qualification hopes are dependent on the result against Brighton as both teams gear up to face each other on Sunday at Villa Park. Brighton have already secured their European qualification. Here are our Aston Villa vs Brighton betting tips and predictions.
Tip 1 – Aston Villa to record pivotal win
Aston Villa has a lot of motivation to win this match against Brighton, as a win will confirm their place in the Europa Conference League next season. Brighton, on the other hand, has nothing to play for as they are already through to the European qualification after their win over Southampton last weekend. Therefore, we predict that Aston Villa will get the job done here, as they are the narrow favorites at a price of 6/5. Our first tip is for Aston Villa to win this match.
Tip 2 – Watkins to break his goal drought
Ollie Watkins, Aston Villa’s striker, has scored 14 Premier League goals this season, including two in the last two games against Brighton. Although he hasn’t scored in his last six matches, he still looks like Villa’s main attacking threat. Watkins has fired off 19 shots over his last five league appearances at Villa Park and should be able to break his goal drought in this match. We predict him to score anytime at a price of 7/5. Our second tip is Ollie Watkins to score anytime.
Tip 3 – Goals expected with two entertaining teams involved
Aston Villa and Brighton have an attacking front which gives more chances for a goalscorer to happen. Almost 60% of Brighton’s Premier League games this season have seen both teams score (BTTS), and there has been over 2.5 goals in nearly 70% of their fixtures. Whereas, Villa have scored and conceded in each of their last two games. Therefore, we predict that the scoreline will end up with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals at a price of 4/6. Our third tip is for both sides to score and over 2.5-total goals to be achieved.
