A clash between two overachieving teams, brace yourselves an enthralling and exciting game between these sides come kickoff. With Aston Villa rising from their ruins of the previous season, they are charging for continental qualification this term.

Southampton, on the other hand, also have their eyes fixated on a top-six finish, and are pulling out all the stops to make this a reality. Hasenhuttl will be spurring his boys on to approach this game positively, as they look to secure a vital win.

Southampton vs Aston Villa Team News

Under the tutelage of Ralph Hasenhuttl, Southampton are gradually growing to become a force to reckon with in English football. The German gaffer helped mastermind a comfortable 11^th-place finish last time out, as Soton enjoyed a brilliant campaign.

This time around, Southampton are aiming much higher to secure a place amongst the elite Premier League ‘top six’ mix. And so far, so good for the Saints who are on the right path to pulling off this magnificent feat.

From 19 games, Southampton have garnered 29 points to sit in 11^th-place, level with their next opposition Aston Villa, who are clear of them via goal difference. This side have found goals quite easy to come by, notching up 27 strikes so far.

Also, they have kept things quite compact in defense, shipping in a paltry 21 goals – the third-best defensive record in the league. Last time out, they were the victims of an Arsenal backlash, the Gunners firing three goals past them.

Now, Southampton will be looking to quickly put that disappointing result behind them to get back on the winning train this weekend. But for that, the Saints will have high-flying Aston Villa to contend – a side that have been mind-blowing this season.

Dean Smith’s men have left relegation talks behind to push for a comfortable top-half finish. The Villa are a joy to behold on-the-pitch, and it comes as no surprise that they are posting desirable results week in, week out.

That said, their recent form has raised a few eyebrows with Aston Villa bagging maximum points in only one of their previous five matches. They slumped to another defeat to Burnley on the last matchday, losing 3-2 to the Clarets. They will be heading into this contest with every intent of clinching a win.

Southampton vs Aston Villa Predictions

Having enjoyed a three-game winning streak on home soil, Southampton’s run was brought to a stand-still by Arsenal in their previous game. In stark contrast, Villa have succumbed to defeat in their last tree away matches.

Also, Villa are holding a mediocre record against Southampton in recent seasons. These are two well-matched sides, and we are finding it difficult to separate them. Hence, we will go on to back both sides to hit the target with no less than two goals on the scoresheet.
