Event Preview
Southampton’s miserable stay in the Premier League was ended last Sunday, as they are mathematically unable to stay in the top-flight. The Saints have suffered a Premier League-high of 25 defeats this season, and they have recorded just two wins in their 31 matches.
Aston Villa will have huge pressure on their shoulders this weekend, as they are still in the race for a Champions League finish. The Villa sit seventh in the current standings, but they come into this round of matches after winning their last four domestic fixtures.

Southampton lost their last home match against the Villa in the 2022-23 season. However, they haven’t suffered successive home defeats against their West Midlands opponents since 1998.
Villa come into this round after winning their last four against the Saints, scoring seven unanswered goals across that period.
Southampton have already lost 25 games this season, which is the joint-most in their Premier League history. The Saints are without a win in their last ten home matches, losing on nine occasions across that period.
They haven’t endured a longer winless run at home since going eleven without a victory in the Championship in 2008-09.
Southampton vs. Aston Villa Picks
Aston Villa are currently the in-form team in the Premier League after winning their last three matches. It is incredibly challenging to see that winning sequence ending on Saturday when they come up against one of the worst teams in competition history.
