The 7th round of the English Premier League features a match on Sunday at Villa Park, where Aston Villa hosts Burnley. Here are the essential details about the match and a betting suggestion.
Match preview
Aston Villa recently ended their winless run with a convincing victory over Fulham (3-1). This win boosts Unai Emery’s side, showing they’re tough to beat at home. Aston Villa has been unbeaten in 20 of their last 21 home matches.
Despite their recent success, the team faces challenges. Aston Villa struggles with goal-scoring and is dealing with injuries to key midfielders, limiting their options in the center. Nevertheless, playing at home with support can help them gather more points.
Burnley, managed by Scott Parker, suffered a heavy loss to Manchester City (1-5), exposing their defensive weaknesses. They haven’t kept a clean sheet in 13 away matches and have lost five of their last seven games on the road.
However, Burnley can still score, having found the net in four league matches, but they often concede more goals. This makes them underdogs against stronger teams, and the away game in Birmingham will be a tough challenge.
Probable line-ups
- Aston Villa: Emiliano Martínez, Tyrone Mings, Matty Cash, Lucas Digne, Lamare Bogarde, Ezri Konsa, John McGinn, Harvey Elliott, Ollie Watkins, Morgan Rogers, Evan Gessan.
- Burnley: Martin Dúbravka, Kyle Walker, Quillindsy Hartman, Maxime Estève, Hjalmar Ekdal, Joshua Laurent, Josh Cullen, Florentino, Jaidon Anthony, Lyle Foster, Lum Chauna.
Match facts and head-to-head
- Aston Villa remain unbeaten in 20 of their last 21 home Premier League games.
- Burnley have allowed at least two goals in 10 of their last 13 away matches.
- None of the last five matches between these clubs have ended goalless.
Prediction
Aston Villa are clearly stronger at home, playing confidently and balanced. In contrast, Burnley struggles defensively and has inconsistent performances away. I expect the hosts to win. For betting, consider “Aston Villa to win” at odds of 1.65.
