Aston Villa vs Liverpool Prediction Prediction Match Details
Aston Villa will face Liverpool on Monday night at the Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham in round 37 of the Premier League. Villa will aim to secure a top-four finish in the English Premier League table and qualify for the Champions League for the first time in their history.
Aston Villa Preview & Form
Aston Villa enters their upcoming fixtures after their dreams of European glory were humbled in their last match against Olympiacos in the UEFA Conference League semifinal with an aggregate score of 6-2. The midweek defeat now sees Unai Emery suffer their third consecutive defeat in all competitions, and they have gone four straight matches without a win. Villa currently sits in the fourth position in the Premier League table, and they hope to replace their UEFA Cup exit by securing a spot in next season’s Champions League.
Villa have been in mixed form when playing at home in their last five Premier League matches, having won two, drawn two, and lost one. The Villains saw their two-goal lead clinch back to 2-2 in their last Premier League home matches against Chelsea. However, Villa have been consistent in front of goals in their last seven home matches, scoring at least two goals in each of the matches.
Liverpool Preview & Form
Liverpool failed to clinch the Premier League title in Jurgen Klopp’s final season. The team has been inconsistent in their last five Premier League matches, having lost two games, drawn once, and won twice. However, the team managed to secure an impressive win in Klopp’s penultimate match at Anfield, defeating Tottenham 4-2. This victory helped Liverpool maintain their third place in the league standings with 78 points, which is seven points behind Manchester City.
Unfortunately, Liverpool’s away form in recent matches has not been great. In their last five Premier League games on the road, the team has recorded two wins, two draws, and one loss. In their most recent away match, they were held to a 2-2 draw by West Ham United. Notably, during this run, Liverpool have conceded a goal in four of their last five away matches.
