Aston Villa hosts Arsenal in round 30 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, March 19th at Villa Park (Birmingham)
Aston Villa is ranked ninth in the standings with 36 points. Steven Gerrard's team has 11 victories, three draws, and 14 defeats after 28 matches. The Lions have settled in the middle of the table and are unlikely to move from this position until the end of the season. They are far from the European competition zone and outrank the relegation zone by 14 points. This happened thanks to a streak of three victories. The Villains confidently dealt with Brighton (0-2), Southampton (4-0), and Leeds (0-3). Last Sunday, Aston Villa lost to West Ham in London with a score of 1-2. The Lions created several good scoring chances but did not hold back the attacks of the Irons in the final 20 minutes. Jacob Ramsey's goal in the 90th minute only cut the lead.

Arsenal is in fourth place with 51 points after 26 rounds. Mikel Arteta's team gained 16 victories and three draws and suffered seven defeats. Recently, the Gunners have won five matches in a row. They coped with Wolverhampton (1-0 and 2-1), Brentford (2-1), Watford (3-2), and Leicester City (2-0). 15 points earned turned Arteta's team into the favorite in the fight for 4th place with Manchester United, Tottenham, West Ham, and Wolverhampton. Arsenal has an advantage over any of these opponents in terms of points lost. But last Tuesday, the Gunners lost to Liverpool at home (0-2).
This season, the teams crossed paths in London. Arsenal beat Aston Villa in round 9 at the Emirates Stadium on 22 October 2021. Goals from Thomas Partey, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Emil Smith Rowe were answered by Jacob Ramsey's accurate shot at the end of the 2nd half. Arsenal's chances of winning the upcoming game seem better, but Aston Villa will be much fresher. Gerrard's team had six days to prepare, and Arsenal will come to Birmingham after an intensive home game against Liverpool in the middle of the week. The Lions will have every chance of scoring points in front of their native stands. In the last four rounds, they scored as many as ten goals against their opponents. Arsenal, which conceded twice in the last away match against Watford, is unlikely to leave Birmingham with a clean sheet. However, Arteta’s team should score at Villa Park. Before the match against Liverpool, Arsenal scored at least two goals in four league games in a row.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
