Brighton vs Aston Villa Preview and Team News

Brighton Team News

An optimistic Brighton host Aston Villa in the 30th round of the Premier League on Wednesday. Having scored 8 goals in their last 5 matches, the Seagulls are flying high and will be expected to put up a top-notch performance. 

The home squad have been unbeaten in their last five meetings, winning three and narrowly drawing their previous two against Nottingham Forest and Manchester City

The tie against defending champions City will give Brighton a lot of confidence ahead of this fixture with Villa, who are also known for their short-passing tactics. 

However, they’ll have a lengthy list of injuries ahead of the game. Igor, James Milner, Jason Steele, Joel Veltman, Solly March, and Tariq Lamptey are all unavailable for selection. 

Fans will hope that the knock sustained by Veltman is not too serious and that he’s available to at least be on the bench, even if unable to start. 

Yankuba Minteh has the most shots on target per match for Brighton & Hove (0.9) and will be a player to watch out for in this encounter.

Brighton predicted lineup vs Aston Villa

Brighton predicted lineup vs Aston Villa: (4-2-3-1): Verbruggen; Veltman, Dunk, Van Hecke, Estupinan; Baleba, Ayari; Minteh, Pedro, Mitoma; Welbeck.

Aston Villa Team News

Aston Villa, too, are in good form, having won their previous six matches. Their most recent 3-0 victory over Preston North End in the FA Cup quarterfinals has pushed them towards silverware this season. They won’t want to hamper it with disheartening results in the Premier League. 

Currently, they stand ninth in the league table with 45 points, two less than Brighton, who are seventh with 47. 

Quite interestingly, Villa have scored 13 goals in their last 5 games. It’s an extraordinary number for a squad usually thought to be away from the top echelons of English football. 

However, their consistency this season has boded well for the club. The presence of all their players for this meeting with Brighton, except Ross Barkley, who’s a doubtful starter with a calf injury, should give them a considerable boost. 

Striker Ollie Watkins, with 13 goals up his sleeve in the Premier League this season, will be hard to contain for Brighton in this game, but he will provide the necessary fireworks for an interesting encounter.

Brighton vs Aston Villa Prediction

  • Pick: Brighton to win or draw
  • Odds: 1.37 (22Bet)
  • Score prediction: Brighton 2-2 Aston Villa

Neither Brighton nor Villa appear to have an outright advantage over the other in this game. Nonetheless, we expect the hosts to either win or draw, in essence remaining unbeaten by the end of the evening. 

They’ve done so in 8 out of the 15 recorded encounters between them in the past, and history favours them to do so this time around as well. 

What our readers will find interesting to note is that Brighton achieved this exact prediction in the reverse fixture played between these sides back in December 2024 (2-2). They did so in the game played prior to that as well (1-0).

Brighton vs Aston Villa Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Both teams to score
  • Odds: 1.47 (22Bet)

We expect both clubs to get on the scoresheet on Wednesday, with Brighton leading the charts. The home squad are known for their flair in the final third, and a lot will be expected in this match. 

For Villa, striker Watkins will have to bear a huge load of the goalscoring opportunities, but he’s a player who enjoys challenges. 

Brazilian Joao Pedro will play in the attacking line for Brighton, and will have a tough ask trying to evade Villa’s defenders and escape their tight marking. Either way, both teams are expected to score.
