Their ability to find the net consistently is matched by their opponents, with both teams scoring in 67% of these fixtures, ensuring thrilling contests for spectators.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa's recent form has taken a concerning dip, with the team currently on a three-match losing streak across all competitions. Despite sitting in a respectable 6th position in the Premier League, their last six matches paint a picture of inconsistency, with two wins, one draw, and three losses. The Villans have struggled defensively, conceding nine goals in their last six games, including a heavy 4-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in their most recent league outing. Their attacking output has also been underwhelming, with an average of just 1.33 goals scored per game during this period. However, Villa's 3-1 away victory against Fulham stands out as a positive result amidst their recent struggles. The team have managed only one clean sheet in their last six matches, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities. With both teams scoring in 67% of these games and an average of 2.83 total goals per match, Villa's recent fixtures have provided plenty of excitement for neutrals, if not always for their own supporters.
