Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Aston Villa vs Chelsea

Aston Villa

Birmingham have not been performing at their best in the last rounds of the English championship, the team has had a series of four matches without a win and will approach the new match in a less than ideal mood. Aston Villa have worked well in the transfer market this winter, adding such famous players as Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio to their squad, who should help the team improve their results in the coming rounds. Ollie Watkins remains Aston Villa's top scorer in the current Premier League, having scored 11 goals and made five assists.

Chelsea

The London team, like its future opponent, has also been very unstable lately, especially in the English championship. After several unnecessary misfires, Chelsea fell out of the top four of the tournament table and now Enzo Maresca's charges will have to make a lot of effort to return to the Champions League zone. In the last round of the Premier League, the Blues unexpectedly lost to Brighton away with a score of 0:3, so it will be interesting to see how the team's players will be able to react to such a painful defeat.

Game Totals Prediction

A very interesting match in the next round of the English championship, in which bookmakers, as expected, refuse to give a clear preference to one of the opponents. Indeed, both Aston Villa and Chelsea have approximately equal chances of success, despite not the best results recently. Both teams have a large number of classy attacking players, so there is a good chance of seeing spectacular football rich in goals. A good choice seems to be a bet on Total Over (3.5) for 2.28
