Having suffered a Europa Conference League 1st leg loss in midweek, Aston Villa will need to bounce back in the Premier League on the road at Brighton. For the hosts, the end of the campaign seemingly can’t come quick enough, but they remain a side with plenty of dangerous outlets. For Villa, this is a huge game in terms of their top 4 aspirations and there is plenty of scrutiny on them from punters and EPL betting apps.

Brighton vs Aston Villa Analysis
This should be an excellent game at the AMEX Stadium, with both sides known for the football they play.
Brighton
The capitulation suffered by Brighton in recent weeks has been quite alarming and they will want to get back on track here against Aston Villa. Manager Roberto de Zerbi’s future does look a little uncertain, and Villa thumped Brighton 6-1 earlier in the campaign, something their fans will demand revenge for in this one.
Team news: Solly March, Even Ferguson, Kauro Mitoma, Tariq Lamptey, James Milner, Billy Gilmour and Pervis Estupinian are all missing here for Brighton.
Brighton Predicted Lineup:
Jason Steele, JP Van Hecke, Lewis Dunk, Carlos Baleba, Joel Veltman, Jakob Moder, Pascal Gross, Adam Lallana, Ansu Fati, Joao Pedro & Danny Welbeck.
Aston Villa
It has been a superb season for Aston Villa under their manager Unai Emery but the Villains will need to be wary that it doesn’t peter out in the key moments. They look under the cosh to qualify for the Europa Conference League final, following their 4-2 loss to Olympiakos but finishing in the top 4 remains their priority and a win here could seal it for them.
Team news: Tyrone Mings, Boubacar Kamara and Emi Buendia continue to sit out for Villa.
Aston Villa Predicted Lineup:
Emi Martinez, Matty Cash, Lucas Digne, Diego Carlos, Pau Torres, John McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Youri Tielemans, Morgan Rogers, Moussa Diaby & Ollie Watkins.
Brighton vs Aston Villa Prediction
With these two sides approaching this from very different angles, this could be an entertaining clash. Brighton have absolutely nothing to lose and are playing for pride at this late stage in the campaign. Villa absolutely have to win in the race for top 4 football and may feel the pressure a touch, but they should have the firepower to come through this test.
Prediction: Aston Villa to win the match – 11/8 (+138) – Rhino Bet.
Brighton vs Aston Villa – The Ultimate Bet
Aston Villa to win & BTTS – 11/4 (+275) – Fitzdares
Neither of these two well-coached sides will back down here and goals look to be very much on the agenda, with Aston Villa most likely to take home the points.
