Premier League predictions for Liverpool vs Aston Villa
My Liverpool vs Aston Villa best bet: Under 2.5 (+140 at Sports Interaction)
After winning the title last season, Arne Slot was the toast of Anfield. His Liverpool team started the season well, winning seven in a row across all competitions, but they’ve lost six of the following seven and have dropped to seventh in the table. They now welcome Aston Villa to win, with Unai Emery’s team level on points and on a hot streak after winning four straight.
A strong defense has been key to Villa’s success, and just four teams have given up fewer than the eight goals they have in the Premier League this term. They’ve kept a clean sheet in just under 50% of their games and, crucially, they’ve adapted their tactics when on the road.
Away from home, this team focuses on keeping things tight and compact, aiming not to lose games. They’ve only given up three goals away from home this season, and with our best bet in mind, the Under 2.5 has cashed in three of four road games.
We’ve seen a lot of higher-scoring games for Liverpool this season, with only two of nine EPL games hitting the Under. However, this game is one that’s likely to be low scoring. Slot is now under pressure, with fans angry with these recent performances, and he needs to go back to basics and set this team up to avoid defeat.
Liverpool have been bad defensively and need to adjust their defensive tactics. With that in mind, we’re going to see two teams looking to keep the game close, which should lead us to another Under.

Under 2.5
Draw
Both teams to score: Yes
In addition to the best bet, we’re taking the game to finish tied. A draw is a result that would suit both teams, with Slot desperate to stop the rot, while any team would be happy leaving Anfield with a point. They’ve drawn three of the past five meetings between the teams, and there’s a great chance for that to happen again in this match.
We'll finish with both teams to score, which has landed in four of Villa's past five games and seven of Liverpool's total nine.
