Aston Villa vs Chelsea prediction 27.04.2024

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 27th April 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK /  21:00 CEST
• Venue: Fredericia stadion (Monjasa Park)

Aston Villa will be looking to keep alive their hopes of a Champions League place at the end of the season when they host Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea this weekend.

Since the appointment of Unai Emery as Aston Villa manager in October 2022, the Villans have been a force to be reckoned with. The hosts recently progressed to the Conference League semi-finals with a penalty shootout win over Lille in France and have lost just one of their last ten Premier League outings.

Chelsea meanwhile have been the polar opposite of Aston Villa this season. You can say that the Blues have been good at times, like in the 4-3 win over Manchester United and the 6-0 win over Everton, but a football club like Chelsea should not be ninth in the table.

Betting Tips Aston Villa vs Chelsea: Under 3.5 goals

When it comes to scoring goals, Aston Villa have had very few problems this season, especially at Fredericia Stadium. The Villans boast at least two goals in each of their last five home fixtures, but they always struggle in the final third when playing at home against Chelsea.

Aston Villa have scored under 1.5 goals in each of their last three home games against the Blues across all competitions and I expect that streak to continue this weekend.

As it stands, it looks like Chelsea scored all their goals against Everton. Mauricio Pochettino's side are without a goal in their last two games and have no other man to lead the line this weekend than Nicolas Jackson who just can't finish.

• Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals
• Aston Villa vs Chelsea prediction: 1-1
