Aston Villa vs Burnley Preview & Prediction
Burnley have struggled in the opening stages of the season, as they sit in 19th place and could face relegation to the Championship on their first season back in the Premier League.
Burnley were completely outclassed by Liverpool in their most recent league clash as Liverpool secured a 2-0 win at Turf Moor – thanks to goals from Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota.
Aston Villa are yet to lose at home in the Premier League, winning eight from the nine matches and drawing their most recent home match against Sheffield United.
Villa will need to improve from their last league match against Manchester United, as the Villains let a 2-0 lead slip to hand Erik ten Hag’s side a 3-2 victory.
Unai Emery’s are currently third in the table, just three points behind table-toppers Liverpool and a win would see Villa move level on points with Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Taking this into consideration, we expect the home side to maintain their unbeaten streak at Villa Park and win the match by two clear goals.
Prediction: Aston Villa 3-1 Burnley
Aston Villa vs Burnley Betting Tips

- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 22/5
Aston Villa vs Burnley Betting Tip 1: John McGinn To Score @ 17/5
John McGinn has been a standout player for the Villains this season, as Unai Emery has used the Scottish international in a slightly different position.
The 29-year-old has contributed to seven Premier League goals this season (5G+2A), including an impressive free-kick against Manchester United.
Taking his recent record into consideration, we expect the Villa star to be on target once again and at 17/5, is a strong choice for this Aston Villa vs Burnley bet builder.
Aston Villa vs Burnley Betting Tip 2: Over 2.5 Goals @ 3/5
Seven of Aston Villa’s last 12 league matches have seen over 2.5 goals, including a 3-2 defeat to Manchester United in their last fixture.
The Clarets have conceded 38 goals in the league this season, which is the second highest in the Premier League behind Sheffield United (47).
With this in mind, we expect the match to be full of chances given Villa’s high-line and Burnley’s defensive struggles – making over 2.5 goals a strong choice.
