Before Betting On Brighton vs Aston Villa
The final month of the season is finally here, and there will be pressure on Aston Villa to continue their strong form in order to finish in a Champions League spot. Unai Emery has done an excellent job at the club since arriving last term, but few could have foreseen Villa competing for a top four position this term. However, only the top three teams have suffered more defeats this term, while Villa have recorded wins in 20 of their 35 matches.
The Midlands side have remained professional across recent weeks after going four without a defeat in the Premier League. However, they will be looking to get back to winning ways this weekend after throwing away a two-goal advantage to draw against Chelsea last Saturday.
It has been a miserable second half of the season for Brighton, with the Seagulls tamely falling out of contention for a European spot. They come into this round of matches sitting 12th in the standings, as they have suffered three defeats across their last four.
Meanwhile, the Seagulls have failed to pick up a victory over that period, with their most recent outing ending in a 3-0 loss on the road against Bournemouth. That defeat means that Brighton have now won just once in their last 12 on the road, and they have failed to score in each of their last five.
