Aston Villa vs Liverpool Prediction: the Birmingham Side to Create Troubles

Prediction for the EPL Aston Villa vs Liverpool match, which will take place on December 26th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Under Unai Emery, Aston Villa played two matches in the English league and did not lose a single point. First, the Birmingham side defeated Manchester United 3:1 at home. Next, the Lions beat Brighton - 2:1. In this interval, the club went to Old Trafford and had another meeting with the United, but already in the League Cup, losing 2:4. Aston Villa is 12th in the EPL standings with 18 points. During the break, they played four friendlies - defeats to Cardiff and Villarreal, a draw with Brighton, and a win over Chelsea.

Southampton was the last opponent of the Merseyside side in the English league before the break. Jurgen Klopp's team clinched a 3:1 win at home. Liverpool is currently sixth in the Premier League standings with 22 points. Recently, the club played its first official match after the season resumption in England. In the last 16 of the League Cup, Liverpool lost to Manchester City 2:3. 

• In the last seven personal meetings between the teams in Birmingham, at least three goals were scored.
• Liverpool has outplayed Aston Villa in their last four matches in all competitions.
• The Merseyside club has scored at least two goals in five of the last six matches against Aston Villa.

The meeting promises to be one of the most interesting in the 17th round. Aston Villa will try to get a third consecutive victory under Unai Emery. However, that will be challenging, given the statistics of recent performances against the Merseysiders - defeats in the previous four meetings. In addition, Klopp's team will be motivated after losing to Man City in the League Cup. Against the Citizens, Liverpool could have converted many great scoring chances. We expect another total over in the next game and the visitors' victory.
