Aston Villa hosts Brighton & Hove Albion in round 9 of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, October 19th at Villa Park (Birmingham)
Aston Villa, which returned to the fields of the English Premier League, is slowly mastering in high society, having managed to show a good game segment in the last rounds. For example, it offered serious resistance to the titled Arsenal London at the Emirates (a worthy 2:3 defeat), tied with West Ham United (0:0), which is quite strong today, and Burnley (2:2). The Villans also hammered the champion of the first division, Norwich City, with a 5:1 score away!

As for Brighton, it remains a purely home team, gaining the lion's share of its points within the Amex native arena. But in away matches, Graham Potter's wards no longer pose a serious threat even to outsiders, in particular, having recently shared points with mediocre Newcastle United on a foreign pitch (0:0). Yes, Hove Albion shot very powerfully in the last round, having defeated Tottenham Hotspur at home (3-0), but there is a logical explanation for such a failure of the Spurs since they haven’t recovered after the humiliation in the UEFA Champions League with the participation of German Bayern (2-7).
I believe that the Birmingham Lions are no way inferior to Brighton in terms of the game, and therefore I propose that Aston Villa won’t lose in the upcoming match. Finally, I will note that the Villans suffered only one loss at their stadium in the current regular season (in the very first round). Meanwhile, the Brighton Seagulls celebrated only the only away victory in the current championship (also in the opening meeting - over Watford, which is very weak now).
Prediction for the match: Aston Villa to win with +0.5 handicap
