Premier League: What this game might not have in glitz it should compensate in guts and dedication. Bring on Aston Villa - Burnley!
- Aston Villa have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Burnley have yet to win a game away.
Villa have less rest than Burnley in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Premier League game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Norwich City.
Aston Villa form and stats
4-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Aston Villa so far this season.
Villa enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Norwich City's place. The match ended 2-0 with Watkins and Ramsey scoring. The attacking player Watkins was declared "man of the match" for Aston Villa with the rating of 8.42/10. Watkins scored one goal, served one assist, hit three key passes and had 27 successful passes (of 33 total).
Prior to that, an away loss at Liverpool.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Villa's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won one match, drawn zero and lost zero.
Villa have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Villa Park with 14 goals in 8 league matches. On the other hand, Villa have conceded 11 goals.
Burnley form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Burnley so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 0-4-4 (win-draw-lose).
Cornet was the last player to score for the away team. Burnley haven't scored a league goal in the last 311 minutes.
Burnley played 0-0 against West Ham United in their previous match. Goalkeeper Pope got the top player rating of the team with 7.94/10. Pope stopped the opponent with three saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.
Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Newcastle United's place.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Burnley playing away, we found six games. Results were one away win, one draw and four home wins.
The attacking power of Burnley when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. Burnley's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips.
