Two sides in the mix for a top 4 spot come the end of the season meet here, as Brighton and Aston Villa square off at the AMEX. The Seagulls are ticking along nicely but will be licking their wounds after being dumped out of the FA Cup by Nottingham Forest. Meanwhile, Villa progressed to the last 4 of the FA Cup and have a Champions League last 8 tie against PSG to navigate, giving Unai Emery’s men plenty to play for between now and the end of the season.
Brighton vs Aston Villa Best Odds
This should be an absolute belter at the AMEX Stadium.
| Brighton – 11/10 (+110) | Draw – 14/5 (+280) | Aston Villa – 23/10 (+230) |
| Over – 12/25 (-208) | 2.5 Goals | Under – 9/5 (+180) |

Brighton vs Aston Villa Analysis
Both of these sides will be looking for three points, in what promises to be an excellent game for both punters and EPL betting sites.
Brighton
With cup glory gone for another year, Brighton will be looking to secure European football next term, and this looks to be a great place to start. The Seagulls are motoring in the Premier League and with sides around them faltering, they know they could force their way into contention to crack the top 6 come the end of the campaign. This one against Villa is a match against a direct rival in that regard and they will be up for it from the outset.
Team news: James Milner. Tariq Lamptey, Igor Julio and Ferdi Kadioglu miss out here for the Seagulls.
Brighton Predicted Lineup:
Verbruggen, Hinshelwood, Dunk, Webster, Estupinian, Baleba, Ayari, Mitoma, Minteh, Gruda & Pedro.
Aston Villa
It has been a season to remember for Aston Villa and it is showing no sign of slowing yet for the side from Birmingham. Going deep in both the FA Cup and the Champions League has reignited a dormant fanbase under Unai Emery but they will want to finish as high as they possibly can in the Premier League. They cracked the top 4 last season and have work to do to repeat that feat once more but they are a side that can always produce returns for both punters and Premier League betting sites.
Team news: Pau Torres, Ross Barkley and Amadou Onana will all miss this one for Villa.
Aston Villa Predicted Lineup:
Martinez, Cash, Mings, Konsa, Digne, McGinn, Tielemans, Rashford, Ramsey, Asensio & Watkins.
Brighton vs Aston Villa Prediction
This should be an absolute cracker down on the south coast, between two sides with genuine European aspirations. Brighton are ticking along nicely and are perhaps being a touch overlooked in the race to finish in the European places. Villa meanwhile have some big games coming up but can’t afford to be distracted in this one. There isn’t much between these two teams on paper and it could end up as a draw at the AMEX.
Prediction: The match to finish as a draw – 14/5 (+280) – Rhino Bet.
Brighton vs Aston Villa – The Ultimate Bet
Draw & BTTS – 9/2 (+450) – Fitzdares
Goals should be on the agenda from both of these sides and it could be a very entertaining watch for the neutral and we’re plumping for a draw.
