Aston Villa vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Liverpool are deemed favorites in this game and have been offered odds of 1.76 for a win, with a draw priced at 4.2 while a win for Villa comes with odds of 4.78.

Aston Villa’s new manager Unai Emery has had enough time to settle in the job, having had three games before the World Cup break. He will be looking to build on the two straight wins in the league he registered. His team did not take part in the fourth round of the League Cup in midweek and will hope to recover from a just one win in four friendly matches played during the World Cup window. In competitive action, Villa have two losses in the last five matches and their last six matches in competitive action have produced over 2.5 goals. The team has conceded two or more goals in four of seven competitive games. The hosts will also wish to work on their defensive side, having managed just two clean sheets in eight games, though they can build on the fact that they’ve scored two or more in three of their last four league games. Liverpool on the other hand, are coming from a 3-2 loss to Manchester City in the League Cup, a game in which they twice trailed before losing. That defeat came right after losing two friendly matches during the World Cup month – against AC Milan and Lyon. As they turn focus to the Premier League, the Reds will be keen to build on the two straight wins they posted before the break, but they have two losses in their last four league matches. They have no clean sheet in four league games while each of the last three has produced over 2.5 goals but Liverpool have failed to score in just one of their last eight league matches. It is their away form in the league that will be a big concern here, with Liverpool having managed just one away win in their sox league games this season; they’ve lost three of the six and kept one clean sheet.
