Aston Villa vs Brighton Prediction & Betting Tips (30 December)

Present in the big 4 of the Premier League last season, Aston Villa is not doing as well so far this year but the Birmingham-based club does not have to be ashamed of its record however. Unaï Emery's players are in 6th place in this championship, only 3 units behind 4th place. Rather good in recent days, they were able to offer themselves 3 successes in 4 matches played against Brentford 3-1, Southampton 1-0, Nottingham Forest 2-1 and Manchester City 2-1 last week. Lucas Digne's band will hope to continue this great dynamic on Thursday by going to Newcastle on Boxing Day.

Opposite, Brighton Hove and Albion are currently in mid-table in this Premier League but this team is in ambush to try to win a European ticket since she only has 3 points outlay on her opponent of the day. It must be said that the Seagulls have played 5 consecutive matches without the slightest success with draws conceded against Southampton 1-1, Leicester 2-2 and West Ham 1-1 last week between cut by setbacks suffered against Fulham 3-1 and Crystal Palace 1-3. On Friday, Danny Welbeck's teammates will try to get back to winning ways against Brentford.

On the Villa side, the midfielder is in the frame Ramsey and the Elder Nantes defender Diego Carlos will be hoped for after being doubtful for the trip to Newcastle in midweek. Therefore, it could be all hands on deck for this match, starting with captains like Emiliano Martinez in the cages, the English international Konsa in the defensive hinge or the attacking duo Watkins - Duran in attack. The last two cities are very effective this year with 7 goals scored each. They are ahead of young Rogers and his 5 achievements.

Among the Seagulls, the long-term absentee Webster date will still not be reinstated for this poster. The middle experienced Milner, potential starters Kadioglu and Hinshelwood, winger March (no match) and striker Welbeck (6 goals) will also be too tight for this part, as will midfielder Wieffer who was injured last week. Mitoma (3 goals) and Adingra (4 goals) are the most prolific players in this squad in the absence of Welbeck.
