Chelsea 4/6 to beat Aston Villa in Saturday’s Premier League matchup

Competition: Premier League

Market: Chelsea win

Odds: 4/6 @ Bet 365

Looking to continue on their eye-catching run of form, Chelsea will make the trip to a struggling Aston Villa on Saturday evening.

Starting with the hosts, continuing on what has been a woeful run of form, Aston Villa still find themselves firmly in a relegation battle. In their 28 Premier League matches this season, they have recorded seven wins, four draws, and 17 defeats, scoring 34 and conceding 56 in return. Along with opening the weekend fixtures sat two points adrift of safety, it should also be noted that Villa hold the worst-defensive record in the division. As for their recent run of results, Saturday’s hosts have lost their last five matches across all competitions, conceding two or more goals in each of those defeats. More worrying, Villa have also been hit with back-to-back defeats on home soil.

As for the visitors, enjoying what has been a very eye-catching run of form, Chelsea have their sights set on landing a top-four finish this season. In their 29 Premier League matches this year, they have recorded 14 wins, six draws, and nine defeats, scoring 51 and conceding 39 in return. With a points tally of 48, the Blues open the weekend fixtures in fourth and holding a three-point buffer from losing their Champions League status. As for their recent run of results, landing back-to-back victories across all formats, Chelsea have lost just one of their last six Premier League appearances. It should also be noted the Blues have bagged at least a pair of goals in five of their last six outings. Given the recent gulf in class between the two sides, we’re backing an away victory this weekend.
