Aston Villa vs Burnley Prediction & Betting tips
Both Aston Villa and Burnley FC managed a 1-0 away win against strong opponents at the weekend. Villa prevailed in Wolverhampton. The Clarets won at Arsenal. Now both teams want to build on this coup in this English week. The home side have done much better so far and have already scored twice as many points as the guests from the east of Lancashire.
Accordingly, it is hardly surprising that in the run-up to the match between Aston Villa and Burnley, the odds of the bookmakers turn down in the direction of Villa, which is also confirmed by the odds comparison of the betting base.
However, it can be stated that the Lions are no power at home in Villa Park. Dean Smith’s team earned only six of their 18 points in their own stadium. Two home wins at the start of the season were followed by three defeats in a row. Only twice in the top English league did a team have four home failures followed by two opening wins at home: Nottingham Forest in 1904/05 and Newcastle United in 1953/54.
Aston Villa :
Aston Villa had lost four of the last five league games after a strong start to the season when they went to England’s West Midlands at the weekend. Five minutes before the end of the game, Douglas Luiz flew off the field with yellow and red. Everything looked like the next game without a threesome.
But then Anwar El Ghazi came and scored the winning goal in the fourth minute of stoppage time away from the Wolves. The Lions continued a remarkable record: No other team in the Premier League scored more winning goals after the 90th minute than Dean Smith’s team.
Nevertheless, “The Claret & Blue Army” is counted in this home game at Villa Park, where there were last three consecutive home defeats. This shows that the momentum of the strong start to the season has been increasingly lost.
In addition, the powder seems to have been completely shot in the own stadium in the remarkable 7-2 over Liverpool FC. From the last three home bankruptcies there is finally a goal difference of 4: 9. The defensive in particular must therefore regain compactness.
The clear win at the Wolves, which we now need to build on, was all the more gratifying. It should again depend on Jack Grealish whether Aston Villa’s tip 1 against Burnley will work out in the end. The Lions captain was involved in 40% of all 148 shots on goal made by the Birmingham team in the 2020/21 season. He fired 30 shots himself and his passes created 29 chances.
Ironically, this very important player in Dean Smith’s team was once again negative in the press during the week. After repeated traffic offenses, the day before this home game against the Clarets, he was judicially revoked his license for nine months. One can only hope for his team that this hype on the field will not affect him further.
Burnley :
Burnley FC started the 2020/21 season very badly, although the tenth of the preseason actually went into the fifth consecutive season in the English top division with a lot of tailwind.
A strong season, in which the Clarets had absolutely nothing to do with relegation, did not protect the club from the east of the county of Lancashire from the first seven league games in a row without a win. The coach question was of course not asked of Sean Dyche, who had been in office for eight years.
With this calm, those responsible should ultimately be right. Of the last four league games, the Clarets only lost one more game and earned seven out of a possible twelve points in their first two wins in the new Premier League season.
On Sunday Burnley even disenchanted Arsenal FC away, where the Clarets were last able to celebrate an away win in 1974. Nevertheless, it can be stated that the guests did not contribute too much to this away win. The men from the north of England just defended everything for over 90 minutes and waited for Arsenal to beat themselves, which also happened with Xhaka dismissal and Aubameyang own goal.
In the meantime, the game did not lead to too much in the Clarets, as the only six goals scored from the eleven league games played so far testify to this. Precisely for this reason, the odds against Sean Dyche’s team speak in advance of the clash between Aston Villa and Burnley.
