On Thursday night, from 18:00, Aston Villa and Burnley duel in the 13th round of the Premier League, in a match in which Dean Smith has big team problems. The hosts cannot count on Cash and Luiz (suspended), Wesley, Barkley, Davis, Engels, Heaton and Trezeguet (injured). His counterpart, Sean Dyche, comes to Villa Park without Cork and Gudmundsson. However, the Icelander is uncertain and could be recovered on the last hundred meters.
Aston Villa and Leicester remain the only teams in the Premier League that have not yet drawn this season, and bettors around the world are expecting a winning odds of over 3.00 for a draw! Is it time for a draw for Villa? Given the problems they face, it is possible that Dean Smith will enjoy a point in front of Bunley, the team that is in a visible increase in form: a single failure in the last 5 stages and a victory with Arsenal! Such a sure success gives you wings before a new difficult move.
In the ranking, Aston Villa is on the 10th place (goal difference 21-18), after a good start to the season. The Birmingham team has two wins and three defeats in the last five league games and has twice as many points as Burnley – 17th place (goal difference 6-18). Even if they have the penultimate offensive in the Premier League (as numbers), the players from Turf Moor exult after a deserved 1-0 against Arsenal, in the recently concluded weekend. Otherwise, Aston Villa comes after a 1-0 at Wolverhampton at home, after a goal scored in overtime by El-Ghazi. So, the morale of the two camps is high and no one wants to take the wrong steps in this balanced match.
The story of the direct duels between the two clubs shows us interesting things. First of all, the host team has not won this meeting for five matches so far! Each team was a success, and three more games were drawn (twice 1-1 and once 2-2). Thus, in 7 of the 9 direct duels so far, both teams have scored each time, a sign that even now we can witness a game with a good rhythm and many occasions. If we look at the attack of the hosts, with Watkins and Grealish in good shape, it is clear that we expect the show.
The corners could be the winning option on Villa Park, especially since the host team is “eminent” in this respect, in this Premier League season. And Burnley isn’t bad either! We bet on a daring odds, because that’s how we have the best chances for a good profit. There are no two defenders to show confidence, so it’s worth the bet on “GG” in the second half.
