Aston Villa vs Southampton: Top Free Betting Tips

Aston Villa have had a terrible start in the new campaign and it is time for them to improve because this team has a lot more potential. Here are our predictions.

Over 2.5 Goals

Aston Villa and Southampton have been playing a lot in the Premier League over the past few seasons and most of the games had big results, especially when Southampton were visiting Aston Villa. All three games from the past couple of seasons ended with more than 4 goals too. Villa and Southampton did not have perfect starts to their season but both sides have the potential to score goals and solid attacking players, so we expect goals.

Draw or Southampton

Steven Gerrard's position is at a huge risk at this point in the season and the team definitely needs to win some points or he will get sacked soon. Southampton have been much better at the start of this season and look like the better team right now. They even won some points against top teams like Chelsea. It is true that Aston Villa beat them 4:0 the last time they played but the teams are completely different this season.

Total Corners – Under 11

We have two of the teams in the Premier League that take the fewest corners in their games this season. For example, Southampton have taken an average of 3.2 corners in their matches this season. On the other side, Aston Villa have taken even less – 3.0 corners per game this season. Southampton also have a much stronger defense, so they give their opponents a lot less than usual.

Aston Villa vs Southampton: Form, Recent Games, and News

Aston Villa Preview

Aston Villa had a positive transfer window and attracted some massive names like Diego Carlos from Sevilla and Philippe Coutinho from Barcelona. Unfortunately, the chemistry is not there year or Steven Gerrard's managing does not work, but the team has been playing in a terrible way and has 4 defeats in the first six games. Unless they improve, we expect to see Gerrard sacked or Villa relegated this season.

Southampton Preview

Southampton did not sell a single player in the last transfer window but attracted almost an entire new team for aboit 70+ million euros. There is a lot of potential in the team with the young squad they build and they have already showed some crazy performances like the win over Chelsea. We expect Southampton to grow and improve as the season progresses but we mostly expect good things from them in one or two seasons time.
