Brighton vs Aston Villa Bet Builder Tips – Goals Predicted for this 16/1 Bet

Brighton vs Aston Villa bet builder tips and predictions for the first Super Sunday fixture on 13th November as we get ever closer to the 2022 World Cup. We’re predicting goals in this match and a booking for one of the Aston Villa players.

Brighton have won their last three matches in all competitions including an impressive 3-1 win at league leaders Arsenal in the Carabao Cup in midweek. Villa were beaten 4-2 in the same competition but did get an impressive win last week in the league when they beat the same opponents 3-1.

Aston Villa won the last Premier League meeting between the clubs, triumphing 2-0 at The American Express Community Stadium last season. Matty Cash scored first for Villa in the 17th minute. Ollie Watkins also was on target.

Aston Villa have got the better of Brighton of late, unbeaten in their last three Premier League matches (W2 D1 L0). Brighton are looking for their first league win in encounters between the two teams since November 2020. Villa have outscored the Seagulls 4-0 during their unbeaten streak.

📊ODDS – 16/1 with bet365

 

Brighton to win

Brighton are in the midst of a fine run of form at the moment, having won all of their last three matches in all competitions. In those games, the Seagulls have scored a minimum of three in each, winning 4-1, 2-3 and 1-4.  Of their 13 Premier League matches this season, they’ve won six, drawn three and lost four, leaving them in a very healthy position in the table in sixth, ahead of the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool. Villa are in a bit of a mixed run of form. Their last two fixtures have been against Manchester United with one ending in a win and the other ending in defeat. They lie 13^th in the table, just three points clear of the relegation zone. I expect Brighton to continue their fine form and pick up the three points in this one.

 

Over three goals in the match

I think this one will be a fast paced game in which neither team will set up too defensively. Brighton fans have seen plenty goals this season, both for and against their team. They’ve scored 22 and conceded 17 in the 13 matches they’ve played so far, with each of their last four fixtures having a minimum of four goals. Four of Villa’s last five have seen four goals as well, with the other of the five having three goals. I think this one will land comfortably as both teams look to build on their victories last time out in the league.

 

John McGinn to be booked

John McGinn has become a favourite for a booking over the last couple of seasons. The Scotsman is well known for his box-to-box, aggressive style of play and isn’t shy when it comes to making a foul to stop the opposition advancing. He has been booked three times already this season, with his last card coming against Nottingham Forest last month. He averages 1.72 fouls per match, and will be forced into making a few in this one. This selection adds great value to the bet builder and I think it has an excellent chance of landing.
