Aston Villa form and stats

Aston Villa, who have the fewest conceded goals (5) in Premier League, must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Premier League games here at Villa Park.

Aston's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-3 versus Leeds United (placed 5th). In the game before, an away victory match versus Leicester City with a 1-0 scoreline.

Emiliano Martínez had a busy but productive day in the Leeds United match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

This is expected to be a close game, with Aston Villa perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Aston Villa as a small favourite), we find ten games. Aston Villa has won four of these, drawn two and lost four.

Aston Villa are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (8 goals in 3 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.

Southampton form and stats

Southampton are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premier League, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).

Southampton won their last game, 2-0 versus Everton played at home. Before that, Southampton travelled to Chelsea and returned home with a draw after the game finished 3-3.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Southampton playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were six Southampton wins, two draws and four defeats.

Southampton find the net regularly in their away games. 4 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. 4 goals have been conceded by Southampton in these games.
