Aston Villa are usually dominant against Brighton. The club from Birmingham have won six of the last eight H2H matches. On the other hand, Brighton won only one game during the span, while one ended in a draw. In the most recent encounter at Amex Stadium, Aston Villa won 3-0. Another fact worth noting is that five of the previous six H2H games between these two teams ended with at least three scored goals.
Brighton team overview
The current season could be the best in the 21st century for Brighton. They are currently fifth on the table, and it will not be a surprise if Fabian Hurzeler's team ends up in the Champions League position at the end of the season. Brighton have played well recently, going undefeated in their last four matches. In the previous game, Hurzeler's team won 2-0 on the road against Nottingham Forest. The guests had much better goal-scoring chances throughout the match and eventually secured another valuable victory.
Brighton's head coach, Fabian Hurzeler, was very satisfied with the performance against Nottingham Forest. He said, "We always want to score, but you need to create chances to score. We were good in structure, and therefore we are happy with the performance. Goals are the most important, and we weren't able to score, but we stayed patient and kept defending. We were always very stable in the defence, and therefore, a clean sheet was so important in this phase. This was crucial."
Brighton have some problems with missing players. They will be without Adam Webster, Solomon March, Kaoru Mitoma, and James Milner on Wednesday against Aston Villa. Also, Georginio Rutter is questionable for the upcoming clash.

Aston Villa team overview
Aston Villa became one of the best Premier League teams in recent years. They are currently six points behind the league leader, Arsenal, but it seems unrealistic for Unai Emery's team to fight for more than the Champions League spots this season. Aston Villa are on a run of five victories in a row. In the most recent outing, they won 1-0 at home against Wolves. The home side was better just enough to pick up another victory.
Aston Villa didn't dominate against Wolves, but they still won. After the game, Unai Emery said, "We had to follow the game plan and be resilient. We didn't dominate the match, and in some moments, we were struggling to create or dominate. We respect them a lot and know how difficult it is to get points. We were better at being resilient, consistent, and demanding in the second half."
Tyrone Mings is the only Aston Villa player out for Wednesday.
