Aston Villa vs Arsenal: Premier League Prediction Match Details
Aston Villa will host Arsenal in their second-round fixture of the 2024–25 Premier League season at Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham on Saturday evening. Can the Gunners get their revenge after suffering defeats in both league matches last season?
Aston Villa Preview & Form
Aston Villa started the new season strongly by defeating West Ham United 2-1 in their opening game of the 2024–25 Premier League season. This victory was secured through the contributions of new summer signings Amadou Onana and Jhon Duran at the Hammers Stadium in London.
Unai Emery’s side was impressive with their form last season in the Premier League. They earned a spot in the Champions League this season for the first time in 41 years after finishing fourth. The Villains will hope to continue this impressive run of form in the new season. The Villians ended last season with a five-match home unbeaten run in all competitions.
Notably, the Villains impressively defeated the Gunners in both legs of the 2023–24 season without conceding a goal.
Arsenal Preview & Form
Arsenal continued their impressive league form in the new season by convincingly beating Wolves 2-0 in their opening game of the Premier League 2024/25 campaign at the Emirates Stadium last weekend.
Mikel Arteta’s team had a commendable run of results last season but finished second in the Premier League, settling for silver for the second consecutive season. The Gunners had an amazing run of results on the road last summer, winning eight of their last nine away games in the Premier League. They will hope to build on their incredible form. Scoring goals on the road has not been a major issue for the Gunners, as they scored 28 goals in their last nine matches while conceding only three.
