PREDICTIONS ASTON VILLA VS SHEFFIELD
Aston villa vs Sheffield will be a tough match to predict. Both teams head into this clash with high stakes in place. Villa will be looking for a win in order to top the league and Sheffield will do the best to be out of relegation zone. A win for Sheffield will put them 2 positions above their current stand. However easy it is for this to be said, achieving this result might come in hard in actual sense as Sheffield has been terrible on the travels losing in 7 successive outings. Surprising enough is that these loses have been with at least 2 goals being scored against Sheffield.
The same cannot be said about Aston villa who are currently flying high and picking up wins from the least expected places. This is after they thrashed arsenal over the weekend and had previously defeated Manchester city with the same goal margins. Important to note is that villa has not lost a single match at home from the last 10 matches and we don’t think Sheffield has what it takes at the moment to change those statistics. Our prediction for this match is win in favor of the home team and at least 2 goals to be scored in the game.
