Chelsea have managed just one win in their last five Premier League matches and now face an in-form Aston Villa side this weekend. Both teams have scored in five of Chelsea’s last seven games across all competitions, and the Blues have conceded two or more goals in three of their last six outings.
Recent head-to-head meetings between these two sides have been closely contested, but Aston Villa hold the edge with three wins to Chelsea’s two in their last seven encounters. Villa have also enjoyed their recent visits to Stamford Bridge, losing just once in their last four trips and picking up two wins and a draw. Both teams have found the net in three of the last four clashes between Chelsea and Aston Villa, suggesting we could see more goals at both ends on Saturday.
Aston Villa arrive in the capital riding a wave of momentum, having won 10 consecutive matches in all competitions, including seven straight victories in the Premier League. This impressive run makes them strong candidates to take all three points this weekend. Both teams have scored in seven of Villa’s last eight games, and Unai Emery’s men have netted two or more goals in nine of their last 10 outings.
Villa clearly come into this fixture as the form side, with 10 wins from their last 10 matches, while Chelsea have managed only half as many victories in the same period. Neither team boasts a solid defensive record heading into Saturday’s match, which points to goals at both ends. Chelsea have kept just two clean sheets in their last seven fixtures, while Villa have managed only one shutout in their last eight games.
Chelsea vs Aston Villa Predictions
Chelsea to win and both teams to score - 13/5 (Betfred)
Over 2.5 goals - 3/4 (Betfred)
Cole Palmer to score anytime - 7/4 (Betfred)
