Liverpool vs Aston Villa Prediction
In their previous meeting earlier this season, Liverpool won 2-0 at home and has seven wins and three draws in its last 10 meetings against Aston Villa. Their last ten meetings in Villa Park have gone over the total.
In this Liverpool vs Aston Villa Prediction, Liverpool is coming as +115 road favorites. With only two games weeks left to play, both teams need wins in order to maintain their top-5 positions that lead to next season’s Champions League. Villa plays at home but has lost three of its last five games but are facing a Liverpool squad that has been struggling mightily on the road, with a 1-5 record in its last 6 road games. The last two meetings between those two teams in Villa Park had been draws and with both teams playing with incentive, perhaps another draw is imminent, so this favors the home dog in this matchup. Take Aston Villa by +0.5 goals at home in this one.
