Brighton vs Aston Villa

Our Analysis

Brighton's pre-season form has been solid at home, but Aston Villa arrive as the sharper attacking side, scoring 3+ goals in three of their last five and boasting a strong recent head-to-head record against Brighton, including a 4-3 win and a comfortable 3-0 victory in their last two competitive meetings. With Villa carrying more attacking threat into the new season, backing them for the away win looks like good value.
