Match: Southampton vs Aston Villa
Date: 6thNovember, 2021
Time: 01:30 AM (IST)
Venue: St. Mary’s Stadium
Armando Broja will be back and ready to play tomorrow for the Saints, so I expect him to return to the starting lineup right away. That’s a huge lift for a squad that has struggled to produce goals this season, and I believe Broja and Adams’ pairing will be our best this season. The Saints are confident and have been playing excellent defence recently, and they will want to keep a clean sheet on Friday. Southampton should be able to dominate Villa and win this game handily if they can play exactly like they did against Watford, just with more points.

Villa, who have already lost four games in a row, may become frustrated if they fall down early, so expect Southampton to push aggressively and aim to score early to put the pressure on.

Aston Villa will be without Danny Ings on Friday, which will be a setback for the team. They haven’t had any trouble scoring goals this season, but their defence has been abysmal. They’ve given up 19 goals in ten games and will almost certainly need to preserve a clean sheet if they want to win on Friday. We feel they will drop deeper and allow Southampton to enjoy possession, with the intention of attacking on the counter. Southampton has been prone to being caught on the counter for years, and this plan has previously succeeded as the Saints struggle to break down a low-block. If Villa can keep a clean sheet, they will find a way to win this game.

Previously, the Saints have won five of their past nine Premier League meetings against Villa, but the visitors won 1-0 at St Mary’s last season. Meanwhile, Villa lost 4-1 at home to West Ham United on Sunday; Ollie Watkins levelled the scores at 1-1 in the 34th minute, but the Hammers struck three times without reply to upset their 10-man hosts.With both sides capable of scoring goals, this has all the makings of an interesting football encounter. Southampton will be confident following their recent strong form, but Villa are still a highly talented team, and we believe Smith’s side will have enough to earn a point in an interesting draw.
