Liverpool vs Aston Villa: Prediction and Betting Tips

Liverpool desperate for a win at Anfield

After a 68 match unbeaten home run, Liverpool are now finding it hard to register a win at Anfield in six matches. It has been a huge turnaround from last season when The Reds conquered even the most impossible tasks at home like their famous Barcelona win in the Champions League.

Jurgen Klopp’s team are doing well away from home though in the Premier League as they have won their last two matches against Wolves and last weekend against Arsenal with a very impressive 3-0 win making it three away wins in a row.

They need to find a way to win at home quickly with just one goal scored in the six matches Klopp’s team lost at home, and had 115 attempts at goal without scoring. Losing six of their last nine matches in the PL is not good form as The Reds are chasing a fourth spot finish.

Will Aston Villa join the clubs winning at Anfield?

Having survived in the Premier League on the last day of the season last term, Aston Villa are enjoying a much better season and with nine matches still to play, they are seven points away from a Europa League spot for next season, something that would be a great consolation for their efforts.

Boss Dean Smith’s team have been struggling in recent games especially without skipper Jack Grealish who has suffered a setback in his recovery and might not play this match. Without Grealish Villa have scored just six times and managed two wins.

The Lions will try to get inspiration from their 7-2 beating of their opponents in the opposite fixture this season, and with one defeat in their last five away games, Villa will think of taking advantage of Liverpool’s terrible home record and go for the three points. 

Key Stats

• Liverpool have not won at home in six matches
• Liverpool have scored just one goal in the last seven home matches
• Aston Villa have won two of their last five away matches
• Aston Villa have scored three goals in five away matches

Liverpool vs Aston Villa Prediction

The main attraction for this fixture will be to see whether Liverpool can break the spell and win their first home match since December 2020. Of Course, Liverpool are the firm favorites to win the match with the bookies but they have been favorites in all the matches they lost!

If we take a look at both team’s goals scored in recent games we can see that in Liverpool’s last six matches under 3.5 goals were scored and the same happened in Aston Villa’s last eight of nine matches. With the odds standing at 1.50 for under 3.5 goals, we will back it.
