Current streaks

Recent form

AS Monaco

AS Monaco have been experiencing a challenging run of form, failing to secure a victory in their last five matches across all competitions. Their recent performances have been marked by defensive frailties, having conceded goals in each of their last six games and averaging 1.83 goals conceded per match. Despite this, Monaco have shown some attacking prowess, scoring in five out of their six recent fixtures and maintaining a respectable average of 1.67 goals per game. The team's matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the net in 83% of the encounters. Particularly noteworthy was their 4-2 loss to Paris Saint Germain in Ligue 1, a six-goal thriller that highlighted both Monaco's offensive capabilities and defensive vulnerabilities. The club's current form suggests they are struggling to find consistency, with their last win coming in a convincing 4-1 victory over Union Saint-Jean in the Coupe de France.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa have shown impressive resilience in their recent fixtures, going unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions. This run includes a trio of victories, with wins against Everton, West Ham, and Leicester, demonstrating their ability to secure positive results against varied opposition. The Villans have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with five of their last six games featuring over 2.5 goals, highlighting their attacking prowess and potential defensive vulnerabilities. Despite conceding in five of these six matches, Villa have managed to outscore their opponents more often than not, netting nine times whilst also conceding nine. Their ability to bounce back from a heavy 3-0 defeat against Newcastle United is particularly noteworthy, as they've since gone on to collect eight points from their next four league games, showcasing their mental fortitude and consistent form.

Recent home/away form

AS Monaco

AS Monaco's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the team alternating between wins and losses in their last six matches at the Stade Louis II. While they've been prolific in attack, scoring an impressive 14 goals at an average of 2.33 per game, their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 11 goals at 1.83 per match. The Monégasques have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly their 5-1 thrashing of Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League and a narrow 3-2 victory over Brest in Ligue 1. Their matches have been entertaining for neutrals, with 67% of games seeing both teams score and the same percentage featuring over 2.5 goals. However, Monaco have managed just one clean sheet in this run, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities despite their attacking prowess.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa's recent away form has been inconsistent, with the Villans struggling to find consistency on their travels. The team have managed just two wins in their last six away matches, suffering three defeats and securing one draw. Notably, Villa endured a run of three consecutive away losses in the Premier League against Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, and Newcastle United, conceding eight goals and scoring only once during this poor spell. However, they showed resilience by bouncing back with a vital Champions League victory against RB Leipzig in a high-scoring 3-2 affair, followed by a narrow 1-0 win at Everton. Villa's defence has been particularly vulnerable away from home, conceding an average of two goals per game, while their attack has managed 1.17 goals per match. The majority of Villa's away fixtures have been goal-fests, with 83% of these games featuring over 2.5 goals, highlighting their involvement in entertaining, albeit defensively fragile, encounters on the road.
