Aston Villa Look to Seal Champions League Qualification with a Home Win

Liverpool Look to Make it Back-to-Back Wins in the Premier League in the Penultimate Match of the Season
Jurgen Klopp’s final season has turned out to be less successful than hoped. A few months ago, Liverpool were the football bet predictions’ favorite to pit Arsenal and Manchester City for the title.
However, their form in the last month has dropped off badly and they have fallen off the title chase; they will have to settle for a top four finish, a return to the Champions League, and a Carabao Cup win.
However, the Reds returned to winning ways last Sunday, beating Tottenham 4-2, and they are the football pick to emerge victorious at Villa Park on Monday.

| Key Players to Watch | Mohamed Salah |

| Team Weaknesses | Vulnerable on the counter |

Player Focus
Aston Villa will rely on the cutting edge of Ollie Watkins and the pace and penetration of Leon Bailey to pose an attacking threat against Liverpool. Free football predictions show that Unai Emery will be pragmatic in his approach, which will mean that his attackers will have to deliver on the counter.
Mohamed Salah has been in the spotlight in recent matches as Liverpool’s fight for the title has fizzled out. However, expert soccer predictions show that the Egyptian is still the danger man for Liverpool and will be crucial for the Reds on Monday as they look to make it back-to-back wins in the league.
Tactical Analysis
Aston Villa will adopt a 4-2-3-1 formation that Unai Emery has favored this season. The midfield two will be solid and form a base in midfield to protect the back four and add ballast to the team. The players behind the striker will press and tuck in when out of position. This will add numbers into the middle and prevent Villa from being overrun.
Football prediction analysis shows that Liverpool will retain their 4-3-3 formation, with the three in the middle of the pack offering energy, ball retention, and attacking impetus in the final third.
Aston Villa vs Liverpool Expert Analysis
Aston Villa has been decent at home all season. Given the form of their attackers and the dynamic approach they adopt, they are odds on to score at home. Liverpool’s defensive record is not good on the road, which increases the chances of Aston Villa getting a goal.
The odds of Liverpool scoring are also good. Mohamed Salah is a good bet to grab a goal in this match. Liverpool’s attack is irresistible; however, this also means that they are vulnerable on the counter.
