Match Preview
Aston Villa will be hoping to get their European ambitions back on track this week, as they have home field advantage against Brighton. The Villa have lost two of their last three in the Premier League, which includes a humbling loss at the hands of Newcastle on Boxing Day.
That run of results has seen the West Midlands club drop to ninth in the league standings, and a return to form will be expected by the home fans on Monday.
Brighton will also be on the comeback trail in the West Midlands on Monday, as they have suffered two defeats in their last five and have failed to win over that sequence of matches. That run of form has seen the Seagulls drop out of European contention, and they kick off this week’s fixture sitting tenth in the standings.

Aston Villa suffered a 1-0 defeat in the latest match between the sides, which ended a five-game winning sequence against the Seagulls. However, Brighton have recorded just one win in their last 14 league trips to Villa Park.
Aston Villa ended last year on a high point with a win over Burnley, but they haven’t ended calendar years with successive wins since 2008. But, their home record deserves plenty of respect ahead of this showdown, as they have lost just once in their last 14 matches at Villa Park.
Aston Villa vs. Brighton Picks
Villa’s healthy home overall advantage is very challenging to overlook, while they also boast a very dominant record this season in matches played at Villa Park. For that reason, the home victory appears to be the most likely outcome on Monday.
