Aston Villa Southampton betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Aston Villa play next to their supporters and have a number of quality players, while Southampton are expected to act on the counter attack, looking for any space to attack. We also note that both Aston Villa and Southampton have scored at least one goal in 7 of the 8 matches played under these conditions. That said and also taking into account the need for the teams to win, risking in favor of the "Over 2.5 Goals" market is a good option.
