Liverpool vs Aston Villa betting tips and summary
Both teams to score – strong trend in H2Hs
Over 3.5 goals – good recent trend and in H2Hs
Hugo Ekitike to have over 0.5 shots on target – is likely to start
Saturday night football comes from Anfield where Liverpool host Aston Villa in the English Premier League.
The Reds are in the middle of their worst run of form under manager Arne Slot, having not won any of their last four English Premier League matches.
Many saw the Reds as the outright favourites to retain their EPL title, especially after their flawless beginning to the campaign which landed five wins from five matches.
But they now face an in-form Aston Villa side who began the season winless in six matches across all competitions.
However, they have bounced back to form by winning six of the last seven games in the EPL and Europa League.
Manager Unai Emery’s side have won four English Premier League matches in a row and will travel to Merseyside off the back of a surprise 1-0 win over Manchester City.
What are the best bets for Liverpool vs Aston Villa?
Both teams to score
Both teams have found the net in eight of the last 11 head-to-head matches between the two clubs, whilst it also landed in each of Liverpool’s last four matches and in three of Aston Villa’s last five.
Over 3.5 goals
This has landed in three of the last six matches between these two sides and in both Liverpool’s latest matches.
Hugo Ekitike to have over 0.5 shots on target
The Frenchman was perhaps unfortunate to lose his place in the starting 11 to record signing Alexander Isak.
He has netted six times across all competitions for Liverpool and with Isak now a doubt for the game, it is likely that Ekitike will start.
