Aston Villa vainqueur
English Premier League, Day 27
Aston Villa is welcoming Chelsea
The venue: Villa Park stadium in Birmingham, England
There is one clear edge on Chelsea side in this upcoming match and that's a fact they had more time to rest and prepare than Aston Villa who was in action yesterday (Wednesday) when hosted Liverpool (2:2 Draw) in match from EPL. However, from my point of view that's only advantage for Chelsea and in my opinion not enough good reason to trust them in this game. After all, Chelsea lately seems to be again in one pretty bad period. After poor season opening Chelsea at one moment was in excellent form but now again they're in big decline. Chelsea is with only 2-3-4 overall record in the past nine English Premier League matches.
Recent history tell us that Chelsea was rarely losing on this visit but in my opinion there is big chance they will lose now.
I expect from Villa to break its five matches long streak without win in EPL. Note they have lost only once during the mentioned period and played four draws including meetings with two best teams, Liverpool and Arsenal what were their best games. Now when facing another big name, I expect from Unai Emery's team to show us again their best performance.
Have in mind Aston Villa has lost just once on Villa Park for whole EPL season plus they had some nice victories here in the Champions League (I refer the most to that one vs Bayern Munich).
That being said, Villa in my opinion is the favourite in this upcoming match and given the offered odds the logical choice would be Home win in Draw No Bet Option but I've opted to go for maximum value and will take straight home win.
1X2 (Ordinary Time): Aston Villa
Best Odds: 2.75
