What to Know
Aston Villa and Brighton & Hove Albion are even-steven against one another since October of 2019 (1-1-2), but likely not for long. Villa will take on Brighton at 10 a.m. ET on Saturday at Villa Park after a week off. If the 0-0 final from the last time they met is any indication, this game could be decided by whoever gets on the board.
Two weeks ago, the Lions fell a goal short of Southampton, losing 1-0.
Speaking of close games: Brighton and Newcastle United tied 1-1, good for one point each.
After unsatisfying finishes in their previous games, both teams are out for the full three points in this fixture. Allowing an average of 1.82 points per game, Villa hasn’t exactly asserted themselves on the defensive end. We’ll see if they can patch up the holes in their defense before their upcoming match.
