Liverpool
Aston Villa has hit a rough patch, going four games without a win, and their defensive injuries have proven to be a major setback.
Now, they face an even bigger challenge as Liverpool arrives at Villa Park.
However, one major advantage for Villa is their incredible home form. They have been nearly invincible on their own turf, refusing to lose and playing with immense intensity, especially in big matches. They secured a 2-1 victory over Manchester City, defeated Celtic 4-2 in the Champions League, and are currently on a 12-game unbeaten streak across three competitions.
Another positive for Villa is their ability to score against Liverpool. They have found the net in each of their last five meetings, though results haven’t been in their favor—managing just one win, one draw, and suffering three defeats.
Key absences for Villa include Konsa, Cash, Torres, and Kamara, while Liverpool will be without Gomez, and Gakpo remains doubtful.
What we say
Both Teams to Score
Given Liverpool’s tendency to concede more goals away from home—14 so far compared to just 10 at Anfield—we anticipate a match filled with goals on both sides.
Villa has strengthened their attack with reinforcements like Malen, Rashford, and Asensio, adding even more firepower to their frontline. Their goal difference stands at 21:15 over 13 matches, while Liverpool boasts an impressive away goal difference of 34:14 without a single defeat on the road.
With both teams showing strong attacking intent and their previous five head-to-head meetings producing plenty of goals, we expect an open battle with both sides finding the net once again.
