Aston Villa vs Bournemouth predictions

Aston Villa are doing a great job balancing the Premier League with their continental commitments and can strengthen their place in the top four with a home win over Bournemouth.

Villa have gone ten games unbeaten in all competitions since their 2-0 defeat to Arsenal at the end of August, and in the Champions League they take their tally to three wins in as many matches, with a win on Tuesday Bologna” with a score of 2:0.

But their Champions League ambitions have not stopped them in the Premier League and they have taken 14 points from their last six matches, with their recent home form including wins over Everton and Wolves before a goalless draw with Manchester United.

Players have rated Bournemouth highly due to Villa’s busy schedule and the fact they beat Arsenal 2-0 at home last time out.

However, before their demolition of the Gunners, the Cherries had lost three of their four league matches by 0, including a 1-0 defeat at Leicester.

It means Bournemouth’s only three wins in their last 14 top-flight away games have come against Burnley, Wolves and Everton, suggesting they may have stepped out of their comfort zone at Villa Park “

Aston Villa vs Bournemouth team news

Aston Villa: The hosts have a fully fit squad, with the only confirmed absence being suspended striker Jayden Philogen.
Bournemouth: The Cherries are without midfielder Alex Scott, who had knee surgery to repair a meniscus this week, and Luis Sinisterra. However, Tyler Adams returned to the bench after last week’s win over Arsenal and is back in contention.

Aston Villa vs Bournemouth predicted lineups

Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Cash, Carlos, Torres, Digne; Tielemans, McGinn; Bailey, Rogers, Ramsey; Watkins.
BOrnemouth (4-2-3-1): Kepa; Smith, Zabarny, Senesi, Kerkez; Cook, Christy; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson.

Aaron Ashley’s verdict

Brentford vs Ipswich predictions

While there have been encouraging signs from time to time – notably the 2-2 draw with Aston Villa – the table doesn’t lie for Ipswich and being winless in eight games shouldn’t be a cause for concern for Kieran McKenna.

A 4-1 thrashing of West Ham and a subsequent 2-0 home defeat to eventual relegation rivals Everton highlighted real problems in Traktor Drivers’ defence, suggesting they will have to rely on their strikers if they are to have at least some chance of survival.

Luckily for Ipswich, they have one of the Premier League’s most dangerous strikers in Liam Delap, and he could be the key to any success for Town at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Delap has been a rare bright spot in a difficult campaign for McKenna’s men, scoring four goals in eight league games and looking threatening in every match.

The Tractor striker has had 14 shots in his last six games and could regularly cause trouble for a Brentford defense that has gone ten Premier League games without a clean sheet, conceding 20 goals in the series.

Brentford vs Ipswich team news

Brentford: Long-term absentees Josh Dasilva, Aaron Hickey, Gustavo Nunez and Igor Thiago remain sidelined. Rico Henry is unlikely to take the risk, but Mathias Jensen could play.
Ipswich: Axel Tuanzebe, Jacob Greaves, Ben Johnson and Massimo Luongo are missing but Jens Cajuste could be available.

Brentford vs Ipswich predicted lineups

Brentford (4-2-3-1): Flekken; Van den Berg, Collins, Pinnock, Aer; Norgaard, Janelt; Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Lewis-Potter; Wissa
Ipswich (4-2-3-1): Muric; H. Clark, Wolfenden, O’Shea, Davis; Morsey, Phillips; Ogbene, Hutchinson, J. Clark; Delap

Brentford vs Ipswich key statistics

Liam Delap has scored four of Ipswich’s six Premier League goals this season.

Brighton vs Wolves predictions

The misery of the Premier League basement boys continued last Sunday when Manchester City’s 95th-minute winner dramatically snatched a valuable point from Wolves, leaving Gary O’Neill’s side shackled to the bottom of the table.

Having picked up just one point from their first eight league games and conceded 23 times this series, Wolves’ confidence will be at an all-time low and things are unlikely to improve at Brighton.

The Seagulls beat Tottenham Hotspur by two goals in their last home game and followed that up with a 1-0 win at Newcastle.

This is a team that has thrived under Fabian Hurtzeler and having won four and drawn two of their six home games this season, they should be confident of beating Wolves for the sixth time in eight meetings.

However, Brighton are likely to concede on their way to three points. Wolves have scored while losing in each of their last six matches and both teams with a goal could go into the Seagulls’ fourth game on the scoresheet.

Brighton vs Wolves team news

Brighton: James Milner, Joao Pedro, Solly March, Matt O’Reilly, Yankuba Minteh and Adam Webster remain out, while Simon Adingra and Danny Welbeck are assessed.
Wolves: Hee-Chan Hwan, Enso Gonzalez, Boubacar Traore, Sasa Kalajdzic and Yerson Mosquera are out for long periods. Sam Johnstone returned to training but Gary O’Neill shirked a start in goal for Brighton.

Brighton vs Wolves predicted lineups

Brighton (4-2-3-1): Verbruggen; Veltman, Dunk, Igor, Kadioglu; Baleba, Hinshelwood; Enciso, Rutter, Mitoma; Ferguson
Wolves (3-5-2): Ca; Bueno, Dawson, T. Gomez; Semedo, J. Gomes, Andre, Lemina, Ait-Nouri; Strand Larsen, Cunha

Brighton vs Wolves key statistics

Wolverhampton have scored while losing in each of their last six matches.

Predictions for the match “Manchester City” – “Southampton”

Despite the injury crisis and the fact that they haven’t played their best football this season, Manchester City are hot on the heels of Liverpool in the Premier League title race and could claim another win over Southampton.

City have won six and drawn two of their first eight league matches, maintaining their high standards even in the absence of key midfielders Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne.

They also increased their Champions League points tally to seven from three games after thrashing Sparta Prague 5-0 on Wednesday and should move ahead of Southampton.

The pressure is mounting on Saints manager Russell Martin with his side having lost seven of their first eight matches and last Saturday they were 2-0 up against Leicester until the 64th minute before throwing away their lead and losing “Foxes” with a score of 3:2.

It’s this kind of defensive collapse that has them already in the relegation zone, and things aren’t getting any easier this weekend.

They concede goals but have also scored in their last five matches and could score even in defeat to City.

Team news Manchester City – Southampton

Manchester City: Pep Guardiola is still without key trio Kyle Walker, Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne, with Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku joining them on the sidelines.
Southampton: The Saints will be without Ryan Fraser, who was sent off in the defeat to Leicester. Gavin Bazunu, Ross Stewart and Will Smallbone are also missing, while Yukinari Sugawara is questionable. Jack Stevens, however, returned from suspension.

Predicted lineups for Manchester City vs Southampton

Manchester City (4-1-4-1): Ederson; Lewis, Stones, Diaz, Guardiol; Kovacic; Savigno, B. Silva Foden, Nunez; Haaland.
Southampton (3-4-3): Ramsdale; Stevens, Bednarek, Harwood-Bellis; Walker-Peters, Aribo, Downes, Fernandez; Manning, Dibling, Archer.

Key statistics of the match Manchester City – Southampton

Manchester City have missed out on six of their last eight wins in all competitions.

Best bet on the Manchester City – Southampton match:

Manchester City will win and both teams will score
2 points 6-4 rate365
