Liverpool vs Aston Villa – Premier League Betting Tips

High-flying Liverpool welcomes a resurgent Aston Villa to Anfield in an interesting EPL match of the weekend. Liverpool is in great form at the moment and doesn’t look like slowing down at any moment. 

Liverpool’s Legend Steven Gerrard took over Aston Villa from Rangers, and since then, the side has only lost to Man City but has won all its other games. 

However, history has it that no former Liverpool manager or player has coached a team that won at Anfield. Steven Gerrard will be looking to break this curse, but can he do it? Here are the team news and our tips for this match.  

Liverpool Form and Team News

Liverpool has been in immense form, and their front three is currently unplayable as they have scored the highest number of EPL goals this season. Liverpool is sitting second on the EPL table with just a point keeping them away from the top. 

Liverpool has won 4 of their last 5 EPL matches and lost only 1 to West Ham. Also, they have scored 44 goals in the EPL this season and conceded just 12.

They have won 3 of their last five matches and lost only 2, though Gerrad only lost 1, and that was to Man City, the league leaders. 

They managed to win Leicester City the last time, and their approach to their recent games has indicated that opposition teams need to sit up and attack and defend well, else they will be punished.

Our Tipsters Angle

Liverpool Vs. Aston Villa might not be a top table match, but it always comes with excitement and uncertainties. Liverpool has been in fine form both in the Champions League and in the EPL and might prove too hot for Aston Villa to handle. 

However, Aston Villa still can inflict damage to Liverpool and stop their stride. Checking their recent 5 H2H, Liverpool has won 3, and Aston Villa has won 2 in all competitions.  

Tip 1: Salah to Score

Salah has been in excellent form, and he is currently the EPL top scorer. He is the center of Liverpool’s attack and always gets goals or assists. In the last 3 games against Aston Villa, Salah has managed to find the back of the net every time. 

Even though he played in the midweek, we don’t see Kloop benching Salah in this match, and we think he would score as he does it effortlessly. 

Salah to score is available at the Casumo sportsbook, and it is placed at 1.54 odds, and that’s an excellent value.  

Tip 2: Over 2.5 Goals

This match has a history high scoring scorelines, and this has been repeated in many seasons before this one. Liverpool is currently in excellent form, and Aston Villa has shown that they can score no matter what (they did against Man City).  

Also, Liverpool is a high-scoring team, having scored 44 goals in the EPL alone this season. Checking their H2H, there has been over 2.5 in more than 70% of their games, and we think this match will have the same outcome. 

Casumo offers Over 2.5 goals at an attractive odds of 1.37.

Conclusion

This match will be exciting to watch, as Aston Villa, led by Liverpool’s Legend, will look to stop Liverpool on their tracks. We can’t say for sure which team would win this match, even though it seems more like Liverpool, but the current Aston Villa team should not be underestimated. 

Whatever happens, we are confident that we will be treated with a tense and exciting match.
