Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Aston Villa vs. Liverpool at English Premier League
Villa returned from Greece and the second leg in the Conference League semis vs. Olympiacos, and they didn’t have much time to prepare for the game against Liverpool. With a win here, they would secure the UEFA Champions League next year because Tottenham wasted its good position by handing that fourth spot to the Villains. As for Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp’s last season turned out to be a huge bummer.
Aston Villa
The sole luck Villa had in the past few weeks was that Tottenham’s even worse displays followed their poor performances. They now have seven points more than the Spurs and a game more played. In the end, a victory over Bournemouth at home 3-1 turned out to be a difference maker.
Before their trip to Greece, Villa had just one win in five events, which was the mentioned vs. Cherries. Following that we saw some pretty poor games, with Unai Emery’s team looking extremely inferior.
Villains have 12 wins, three ties, and losses apiece in 18 home appearances in EPL this year. They’ve scored 45 goals and allowed 25 during that interval.
Liverpool
The Reds had everything in their hands. As so often in the past, they managed to squander everything and again brought back the nickname Loserpool. It is tough, but when looking, they are the only ones to be blamed.
Beating Tottenham 4-2 last weekend didn’t improve the atmosphere among the fans. It was the fourth time in the past five meetings in which they netted two or more goals. On the other side, it is the third in a row in which this unit allowed multiple goals.
The defense has been the vital problem for the Reds this year. Apart from disastrous Darwin Nunez, who really should leave the team this summer. His misses were unbelievable and one of the main reasons why Liverpool didn’t win the title.
Aston Villa: Olsen; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; Bailey, Luiz, McGinn; Diaby; Duran, Watkins
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Konate, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Endo, Mac Allister; Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Liverpool rolled over the Villains in the opening game of the year, 3-0. Szoboszlai, Matty Cash (own goal), and Salah netted for the hosts. The Reds haven’t lost to Villa since October 2020, which is seven games in a row, winning six times.
We aren’t lying when we say that this game should deliver fireworks. Both teams have extremely potent attacks, while their backlines look way beneath that level. Therefore, our pick will be over 3.5 goals.
Pick: Over 3.5 goals
