Aston Villa vs Liverpool Odds
Aston Villa Team News
Unai Emery, previously known for his success in clinching trophies on the European stage, this time couldn’t guide Aston Villa to the Conference League final as they were defeated by Greek giants Olympiacos with an aggregate score of 6-2. After Olympiacos’ forward Ayoub El Kaabi scored a hat-trick in the first leg and added two more goals in the second leg, he will surely haunt Aston Villa’s defenders for some time. This means that the Greek giants will face Fiorentina for European glory on May 29th.
Aston Villa also suffered a defeat to Brighton in the Premier League, losing 1-0, sandwiched between their two losses to Olympiacos. However, Aston Villa has never lost four consecutive matches under Emery’s leadership. Despite Tottenham’s victory over Burnley, who will play in the Championship next season, Aston Villa is still four points ahead of them and could return to the European elite if they win their match on Monday.
Nevertheless, Aston Villa has had a different success at Villa Park than before, winning only three of their last eight home matches in the Premier League. Yet, Emery has to experience back-to-back defeats at their stadium this season.
While the first-choice goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez could play against Olympiacos, other players like Youri Tielemans, Alex Moreno, and Nicolo Zaniolo were doubtful. The tendon injury suffered by Morgan Rogers in the match against Brighton could sideline him for the rest of the season, while Emiliano Buendia, Tyrone Mings, Boubacar Kamara, and Jacob Ramsey are already known to be out due to injuries. Hence, options for changes are limited to young players from the academy, including Tim Ireogbunama, who has had one start in the Premier League this season, while Clement Lenglet could provide fresh legs in defense.
Liverpool Team News
The German coach Jurgen Klopp suggests that his team should have more opportunities to showcase their skills, especially after his Liverpool side dominated against Tottenham, scoring four goals at Anfield last weekend. After poor results against Everton and West Ham, Liverpool bounced back into form and found the net through Mohamed Salah, Andrew Robertson, Harvey Elliott, and Cody Gakpo, before Richarlison and Son Heung-min sparked slim hopes of a comeback, which never materialized.
Despite Spurs leaving empty-handed, Liverpool has mathematically kept their title hopes alive, but the battle is now narrowed down to a duel between Liverpool and Arsenal, following Manchester City’s victory over Fulham.
While Liverpool regrets the missed chance to dominate the Premier League in Klopp’s final season, they can at least extend their unbeaten run in May in Klopp’s last away fixture. Although it could cast a shadow on Klopp’s farewell visit, Aston Villa has been in poor form since their remarkable 7-2 victory back in October.
The injury situation remains the same regarding Liverpool’s player availability, with several players sidelined, including Diogo Jota, Ben Davies, Bobby Clark, Thiago Alcantara, and Joel Matip. Although Robertson didn’t appear in training photos, it seems he will be ready to play. Klopp will likely give Harvey Elliott another chance in midfield, while Cody Gakpo can be expected to be favored over Darwin Nunez.

Aston Villa vs Liverpool Prediction
Aston Villa is mentally and physically exhausted due to their defeat against Olympiacos, poor form, and injuries, so we assume that even their home ground won’t help them avoid defeat in this match. On the other hand, Liverpool is aiming for a higher placement in the league in Jurgen Klopp’s final matches, so our betting suggestion is a clear victory for the visitors.
