Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: 1st half outcome: Aston Villa to win — 1.51
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Total goals: Over 2.5 — 1.48
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Both teams to score: NO — 1.53
Aston Villa will be too much for Stevenage to handle, hence expecting them to lead at halftime against the League Two outfits.
Aston Villa are beginning to score goals now. They scored twice against Tottenham. They came from behind to get something off Wolves. There’s a chance they might score three+ goals against Stevenage.
Stevenage failed to score in three of their last five matches across all competitions. Aston Villa are a difficult team to score against, hence expecting Stevenage to go blank at Villa Park.
The Villas are in decent form in the Premier League, having won three of their last five league matches. For this reason, they occupy the 11th position with 22 points after 18 matches.
The Boro are doing quite well in Football League Two as they are unbeaten in their last five league matches. They have registered three wins and two draws and occupy the 2nd position with 51 points after 24 points.
Despite Stevenage’s impressive form in League Two, they are unlikely to cause any harm at Villa Park this weekend, hence expecting total dominance from Unai Emery’s side.
This is a stretch but it’s possible that at least two goals could be scored in each half, thanks to Villa’s attacking form.
Back Aston Villa to win the game. They head into the game as the favourites, thanks to their decent form.
