Chelsea vs Aston Villa Predictions and Top Betting Tips
Chelsea vs Aston Villa will be a tough match between two teams in good forms. Here are our predictions.
Contents
Both Teams To Score Prediction: Yes
This is a tough game but based on Aston Villa's recent performances and Chelsea's problems in defense, we think that there is a lot of value in the BTTS market. Villa have turned their season around, literally, and have not lost in four consecutive games, winning three. They should be able to score here.
Match Result Prediction: Draw
This is a risk, no doubt, but even in their recent good form, Chelsea did not look too convincing. They got lucky against Everton and almost lost the game at home. Villa have really been impressive and their best performances recently have been on the road. Therefore, our second Chelsea vs Aston Villa prediction is the draw.
Correct Score Prediction: 1:1 Draw
There is a good chance for a higher scoreline here but we would rather go safe with the 1:1 draw. When we compare the Chelsea vs Aston Villa line ups, the hosts obviously have the better team – if we are not mistaken, they have the most expensive team in the world right now. But this will be a tough game, for which we pick the draw.
Chelsea vs Aston Villa: Form, Recent Games, and News
Chelsea Preview
Chelsea had a bad start and then made a key signing – Graham Potter as manager. For some time, it seemed like the team is improving – they had nine consecutive games without a defeat but then, it all fell apart. Right before the World Cup, Chelsea ended with four defeats in five games and now, after the WC, the situation is even worse. The team has a couple of wins in the last 15 games and they need immediate results. With over 600 million spent on transfers this season alone, Chelsea should become one of the top teams again.
Players to Watch: Joao Felix (Chelsea)
Chelsea have definitely struggled in attack this season and there is just a single player that has scored more than 5 goals in the Premier League – Kai Haverz. He, however, did it in 26 games and we think that Joao Felix is a better choice with his 2 goals in 7 matches this season. Felix needs to step up his game because Chelsea paid a huge loan fee for his half a season of play.
Aston Villa Preview
Aston Villa did not have a good start this year and until recently, they were in danger of relegation. There is not much to expect from the team this season and the main goal is to remain in the elite. Right now, they seem to be in somewhat good shape and we can maybe expect some good results in the remaining rounds of the season.
Players to Watch: Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
Ollie Watkins has definitely been Aston Villa's best player this season and he is their main goal scorer with 9 goals in 26 games in the Premier League. The team is looking better right now and we can definitely expect some action here. Perhaps betting on goals is not the best option in this match, however.
