Forum Comp Day 6, SATURDAY. Brighton v Aston Villa @ 8pm

Tikay10 · February 2021

There's arguably a better game at 5.30pm - Man City v Spurs - but it's a very poor betting medium, with City @ 1/3 & Spurs at 7/1.

So it's down the M23 to Brighton we go, for Brighton v Villa and the 8pm kick off.

In the League, Villa ae 10 points superior but have slowed down of late, whilst Brighton are on the best run that've had since they've been in the Premier League.

Brighton and Hove Albion are looking to complete a league double over Aston Villa for the first time in what is their 11th season facing the Villans.

Aston Villa are unbeaten in their last four away league matches against Brighton (W1 D3), since losing 1-0 in December 1980 to a Michael Robinson goal.

Brighton's last three home Premier League wins have all been in three different years, winning in December 2019, June 2020 and January 2021. The Seagulls haven't won consecutive home games since November 2019.

Only Tottenham (32%) have conceded a lower proportion of their Premier League goals in the first half than Aston Villa this season (33% - 8/24), while no side has conceded fewer goals in the opening 30 minutes of Premier League games this term than the Villans (3).

Aston Villa have won 11 Premier League games this season, keeping a clean sheet in 10 of those victories. The only victory in which they conceded was their 7-2 triumph against Liverpool in October, with the Villans losing eight and drawing one of their nine games in which they've conceded since that win.
