Aston Villa 2-2 Brighton

Current streaks

Recent form

Aston Villa

Aston Villa have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a notable run of three consecutive wins before their latest defeat to Newcastle United. The Villans have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, with 83% of their last six matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Their attacking prowess is evident, having scored 10 goals in these games, averaging 1.67 goals per match. However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 9 goals in the same period. A standout result was their impressive 2-1 victory over Manchester City, demonstrating their ability to compete with top-tier opposition. Despite their current 9th position in the league, Villa's recent form suggests they are capable of pushing for a higher spot, especially if they can improve their defensive record and maintain their goal-scoring form.

Brighton

Brighton's recent form has been underwhelming, with the Seagulls winless in their last six Premier League matches. They have struggled to find victories, drawing four and losing two of their recent encounters. The team's defensive frailties are evident, conceding 10 goals in this period, with a concerning average of 1.67 goals conceded per game. Despite their struggles, Brighton have managed to score in five out of six matches, demonstrating some attacking prowess. However, their inability to keep clean sheets, with only one in the last six games, has hampered their progress. The high-scoring 3-1 defeat against Fulham stands out as a particularly disappointing result. Brighton's current 10th position in the league table reflects their mixed performances, and they will be keen to end their six-game winless streak and rediscover their winning form.

Recent home/away form

Aston Villa

Aston Villa have shown impressive form at home, with a current three-match winning streak in the Premier League, including a notable victory over Manchester City. Their home record demonstrates resilience, as they've remained unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions at Villa Park. The Villans have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent home games featuring over 2.5 goals. Defensively, they've improved, conceding only one goal per game on average and keeping two clean sheets in their last six home fixtures. Villa's attacking prowess is evident, having scored nine goals in this period, averaging 1.5 goals per game. Their ability to score consistently, combined with their solid defensive performances, has contributed to their climb to 9th position in the league, accumulating 28 points from 18 games.

Brighton

Brighton's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the Seagulls struggling to find consistency on their travels. In their last six away matches, Brighton have managed two wins, two draws, and two losses, demonstrating their unpredictable nature on the road. The team have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly in their 3-1 defeat to Fulham and their 2-2 draw with Leicester. Notably, Brighton have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six away games, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per match. However, they have shown an ability to find the back of the net consistently, scoring in all six of their recent away fixtures. With both teams scoring in 83% of these matches and over 2.5 goals occurring in 67% of them, Brighton's away games have been entertaining affairs for neutral spectators.
