Aston Villa vs. Chelsea Prediction

• Where: Villa Park, Birmingham, England
• When: Saturday, February 22, 6:30

The Villans have no more room for mistakes, and the same goes for the Blues. They have to win this event if they want to stay in the race for one of the top four places, even though the season isn’t near the end. This event could have a massive impact on the standings at the end of the year, whereas a tiebreaker could decide who goes to the Champions League and who doesn’t.

Aston Villa vs. Chelsea Preview

Aston Villa

The Villains hosted Liverpool this mid-week, and they are still recovering from that very tough challenge. Unai Emery hasn’t got all of its players 100% fit for this event, but that’s something the Spanish manager would have to live with.

Before the game against Liverpool, Aston Villa had not lost at Villa Park in 12 straight events. Furthermore, the former European champions had posted only one defeat in their previous 20 appearances in front of their own crowd.

Also, before the game against the Reds, their defense had a terrible stretch, conceding at least once in nine of the previous 10 games overall.

Chelsea

The Blues are having problems, and that’s evident. It all started against Machester City. Once they had a lead and a chance to seal the deal at the Etihad, they wasted it, only to lose in the end.

A short catch-of-breath against West Ham didn’t help them because we saw back-to-back defeats to Brighton in the upcoming pair of contests. First, it was 2-1 in the FA Cup, and then it was a terrible 3-0 in the Premiership.

Both of those games were on the road, where the Blues played terribly in recent times. They haven’t won in the past six road contests, losing four clashes and posting two ties.

Aston Villa vs. Chelsea Prediction

The Villains have been rather impressive at home this year, though, knowing to slip from time to time. Chelsea is highly unstable, but the Blues games are filled with goals. When looking at Aston Villa’s goal difference, we notice the same: they both score and concede, and that’s why we picked both teams scoring over 2.5 goals as the best possible pick for this event.

Our verdict: Both teams to score & Over 2.5 goals
