Aston Villa form and stats

The hosts won their first Premier League game here at Villa Park, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Aston Villa last season were 7 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses from 19 games.

Villa are returning here after visiting Barrow in a Carabao Cup game and winning with a 6-0 scoreline. Cameron Archer (3), Anwar El Ghazi (2) and Frédéric Guilbert scored the goal(s). Midfield player Anwar El Ghazi got a match rating of 9.85 in that game, the max score being 10. Ghazi scored two goals, signed up for two assists, hit two key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 21 successful passes (of 25 total). As mentioned above, Villa "killed" Barrow in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. Cameron Archer was absolutely essential when Villa beat Barrow 6-0, scoring three goals.

Ahead of that match, Villa won a home game hosting Newcastle United (2-0).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Villa have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won two times, drawn two and lost two.
