Southampton v Aston Villa head-to-head

Southampton have lost just one of their last nine Premier League meetings with Villa (W5 D3).

It’s one defeat in the last 10 in all competitions – though it was in this exact fixture in their last such meeting in January.

The home side has won just one of the last six Premier League meetings (D1 L4), with Saints winning 2-0 in February 2020. It is 4/5 Villa win or draw in the Double Chance market.

Five of their last eight encounters saw three total goals or more scored and it is 4/5 this will be the case again.

Both sides found the net in seven of the last nine clashes and it is 4/6 for a repeat in the Southampton v Aston Villa betting tips.

Southampton v Aston Villa key battles

Friday night is fright night if you are a Villa fan, for they have won none of their last 13 away top-flight matches played on that day (D3 L10) – their last victory coming in April 1950!

Villa could do with Danny Ings returning.

He missed the clash with West Ham and it showed as they looked bereft of ideas up front.

Ings has scored in his last four games against clubs he previously played for and is 9/5 to net at any time against the Saints.

The Saints have struck just four goals in five home games and they will hope James Ward-Prowse continues his good form against Villa.

He has been involved in more Premier League goals against them than any other side in the competition (five – two goals, three assists) and is 14/5 to notch at any time.
