Aston Villa’s recent form across all competitions is concerning, showing DWLLL, with three losses in their last five outings. While they secured a dominant 4-0 win in the Europa League against Nottingham Forest, their Premier League results include a draw against Burnley and losses to Tottenham and Fulham. With an average of 1.4 goals scored and 1.2 goals conceded per game, Villa have shown flashes of attacking prowess but struggle with defensive consistency, particularly in the league.

Liverpool – Team Analysis

Date Competition Opponent Score Result
2026-05-09 Premier League Chelsea 1-1 D
2026-05-03 Premier League Manchester United 2-3 L

Average Goals Conceded:1.6 conceded/game
Current Form:DLWWL

Liverpool’s recent form of DLWWL also paints a mixed picture, highlighted by a draw against Chelsea and a crucial 2-3 loss to Manchester United in the Premier League. Their Champions League campaign ended with a 0-2 defeat to PSG, which could impact morale. The Reds boast a higher attacking output with 1.6 goals scored per game, but their defense has been equally vulnerable, conceding an average of 1.6 goals per game, suggesting potential for an open match.

Head-to-Head Record

2023-09-03 Premier League Liverpool vs Aston Villa 3-0 Liverpool
Aston Villa Wins:0
Draws:2
Liverpool Wins:3

The head-to-head record clearly favors Liverpool, who have secured 3 wins in the last five encounters, with Aston Villa yet to register a victory. The two draws, notably 2-2 and 3-3, highlight Villa’s ability to compete and score against Liverpool, especially at home. The most recent fixture in November 2025 saw Liverpool win 2-0, continuing their historical dominance over Villa. This pattern suggests Liverpool often find a way to get results, but Villa are capable of contributing to high-scoring affairs.

Team News

Aston Villa absences: Alysson, B. Kamara, A. Onana, Alysson, B. Kamara, A. Onana.

Liverpool absences: Alisson, C. Bradley, H. Ekitike, W. Endo, G. Leoni, M. Salah, I. Konate, F. Wirtz, Alisson, C. Bradley, H. Ekitike, W. Endo, G. Leoni, M. Salah, I. Konate, F. Wirtz.

Both sides face significant injury concerns heading into this fixture. Aston Villa will be without key players like B. Kamara and A. Onana, which could impact their midfield stability. Liverpool’s injury list is even more extensive, notably including Alisson, I. Konaté, and potentially Mohamed Salah, despite his inclusion in the predicted XI. Salah’s absence would be a major blow to Liverpool’s attacking threat, while defensive issues could be exacerbated without Alisson and Konaté, making for a potentially more open game.

Betting Analysis & Tips

This fixture presents a fascinating betting landscape, with Wolfbet offering Aston Villa at 2.87, a Draw at 3.52, and Liverpool at 2.18. Given Liverpool’s stronger head-to-head record and slightly better scoring average, their odds of 2.18 for an away win look reasonable, although their inconsistent away form and extensive injury list, including potential absence of Salah, add an element of risk. Aston Villa at 2.87 offers decent value if they can leverage their home advantage and replicate their strong European performances, but their league form is a concern. The draw at 3.52 stands out, especially considering two of the last five H2H encounters have ended in high-scoring stalemates and both teams’ recent form includes draws.

Regarding the Over/Under 3.0 goals market, Wolfbet prices Over 3.0 at 1.81 and Under 3.0 at 1.91. With Liverpool averaging 1.6 goals scored and conceded, and Villa scoring 1.4 while conceding 1.2, both teams demonstrate attacking capabilities and defensive vulnerabilities. The historical high-scoring draws (2-2, 3-3) between them, coupled with significant defensive absences for Liverpool, strongly suggest an open game with multiple goals. The Over 3.0 at 1.81 appears to offer strong value, aligning with expert consensus for Over 2.5 goals and Both Teams to Score.

Market Selection Odds Value Rating
Match Result Aston Villa 2.87 Medium
Match Result Draw 3.52 High
Match Result Liverpool 2.18 Medium

Final Prediction

Considering the mixed forms of both teams, Liverpool’s superior head-to-head record tempered by their injury crisis and inconsistent away performances, and Aston Villa’s ability to score at home, a draw appears to be a highly plausible outcome. Both sides have shown they can contribute to goal-heavy games, particularly in past encounters. We anticipate a spirited performance from Villa at home, but Liverpool’s attacking quality should ensure they also find the net, leading to an entertaining spectacle.
