Aston Villa Review
The home team is currently in the 10th place, with 3 points won. In their debut, they lost away to Watford by (3‑2). In the 2nd round, they won at home against Newcastle United by (2‑0). Curiously, this is a team that presents more positive results away than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 27 goals scored and 17 conceded, against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 home defeats, with 20 goals scored and 21 conceded. The team comes for this match after an away win against Barrow, by (0‑6). Aston Villa has won 4, tied 3 and lost 3 of the last 10 home matches. Their offense has scored regularly, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times but managed to turn the score around in 2.
Aston Villa comes motivated for this match after a victory, by 0-6, in the trip to Barrow’s field, in a game counting for the League Cup. In the last round of the Premier League, the home team beat Newcastle 2-0. It’s foreseeable that the home coach will return to play in a 4-3-3, where the three players responsible for putting the “enemy” in danger are Anwar El Ghazi, Emiliano Buendía and Danny Ings. Note that, as a rule, when they invest in the offensive process, they do it through the left aisle, taking advantage of the depth offered by the lateral Ashley Young. Coach Dean Smith will be without Trezeguet, Bertrand Traore, Douglas Luiz, Morgan Sanson and Ollie Watkins because they are injured.
