Brighton vs Aston Villa predictions and football betting tips for this week’s Friday night Championship fixture including the best odds and massive odds for Brighton to win.
There’s a cracking match to look forward to on Friday evening as Brighton host Aston Villa. We’ve got the best three betting tips for the 19:45 kick off.
Newcastle may be romping ahead in the Championship, but sneaking up behind them are Brighton. Chris Hughton’s side agonisingly lost out in the play-offs last season after amassing 89 points, but crucially kept hold of their star players. Despite transfer speculation, they’ve kept hold of Dale Stephens, Lewis Dunk and Anthony Knockaert amongst others. They’ve added sensibly with Glenn Murray and Oliver Norwood incoming over the summer. They are the form team in the league, collecting 13 points from 5 games and conceding just 2 goals in that time. They haven’t conceded a goal in 360 minutes of football with a whopping 11 clean sheets already this season. They come here off the back of a professional 2-0 victory over Bristol City which saw a marvellous strike from distance by Steve Sidwell. Aston Villa have improved under new boss Steve Bruce and have started to climb the table. They’re up to 14th and have the 3rd best form in the league taking 11 points from their last five encounters. They beat Blackburn 2-1 at Villa Park before the break in a performance which looked a little laboured.
Brighton vs Aston Villa Betting Predictions
Brighton should be backed here for our first Brighton vs Aston Villa betting tip and there is a huge price boost on offer. Villa have improved and are very strong at home, but they’ve won just once away in 15 months and I think Brighton have too much spirit about them.
