Aston Villa vs Chelsea Preview and Team News
Aston Villa Team News
Aston Villa are going through a rough patch, having won just once in their last five outings. Fortunately, they’re still fourth in the table. Most recently, the team were stunned 0-2 by the struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Villans were shocked because they recorded 61% possession in that match and took 14 shots, five of which were on target. Even their passing accuracy was impressive at 87%. Despite those numbers, they ended the night without finding the back of the net.
Andres Garcia is a doubtful starter due to a hamstring injury. Boubacar Kamara, Harvey Elliott, John McGinn, and Youri Tielemans have all been sidelined with injuries.
Aston Villa predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Digne, Torres, Konsa, Cash; Luiz, Onana; Buendia, Rogers, Sancho; Watkins.
Chelsea Team News
Chelsea sit sixth in the standings. Under Liam Rosenior, their sole aim is to make it to the UEFA Champions League next season.
The Blues are unbeaten in four of their last five games, with the only loss being a 1-2 defeat to London rivals Arsenal on Sunday. Pedro Neto was sent off in the 70th minute, leaving his side bereft of good attacking options. Cole Palmer, Chelsea’s talisman, impressed with a passing accuracy of 92%, but failed to create a single chance. Even striker Joao Pedro recorded a shooting accuracy of just 50%.
Mykhaylo Mudryk and Neto have been suspended, while Levi Colwill, Marc Cucurella, Dario Essugo, Jamie Gittens, and Estevao have been ruled out with injuries.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Hato, Sarr, Chalobah, James; Santos, Caicedo; Palmer, Fernandez, Garnacho; Pedro.
Aston Villa vs Chelsea Prediction
- Pick: Chelsea to win or draw
- Odds: -217 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Aston Villa 1-2 Chelsea
We expect Chelsea to either win or draw. They have a strong squad at their disposal and, more importantly, are enjoying a solid run of form. The team have scored 11 goals in their last five games compared to Villa’s four in the same span.
Chelsea have avoided defeat in 22 of their last 30 meetings with the Villans. The Blues‘ resurgence in form gives them a perfect reason to avenge their 1-2 loss in the reverse fixture last December.
Aston Villa vs Chelsea Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Chelsea to score the first goal
- Odds: -112 (20Bet)
Chelsea are expected to score the first goal. They have the likes of Palmer and Alejandro Garnacho (13 combined goal contributions) in their ranks, who can run riot among the Villa defenders. Joao Pedro is their leading goalscorer with 11 strikes in the league, while midfielder Enzo Fernandez has already made 10 goal contributions this season.
Chelsea’s sharp form in the final third – 11 goals in five matches – also makes them strong candidates to score first against a Villa side averaging less than a goal per game across their previous five outings.
