Sunderland vs Aston Villa Prediction
Their previous meeting earlier this season ended in a 1-1 draw in Sunderland’s home court and Aston Villa is 3-1-1 in its last five meetings against Sunderland. Over is 5-1 in their last 6 meetings.
In this Sunderland vs Aston Villa Prediction, Aston Villa is coming as -165 home favorites. Villa is coming off an extra mid-week game against Bologna and have only won two of their last four games. On the flip side. Sunderland is coming off back-to-back wins and has lost only once in its last four games on the road, so I expect them to keep this one close against Villa’s tired legs. Sunderland has the 5th-best defense in the Premier League this season and I like them at +0.5 goals or even +1 in this spot.
