Aston Villa vs Southampton: Live scores and full match stats for Saturday’s Premier League clash. The Villans will be looking for their first away win in the top flight. Southampton meanwhile are desperate to pick up points, having drawn twice and losing twice. The match will be closely watched and a good result for either team will be a major positive.

Aston Villa’s James Ward-Prowse

James Ward-Prowse scores a ridiculous free-kick against Southampton. He raises the ball over the wall and into the net. Southampton’s Danny Ings also scores a bizarre goal.

Southampton are on top here and are putting a lot of pressure on Aston Villa. The midfielder James Ward-Prowse is booked for bringing down Bertrand Traore and a goal is likely for Southampton. Jack Grealish then fires a shot wide and Theo Walcott bursts forward but shoots over.

The Saints’ midfield was dominating the match. But Villa’s midfield were pressing, looking for James Ward-Prowse or Oriol Romeu. However, the former won the header in the 86th minute after a good pass from James Ward-Prowse.

Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse celebrates his 26th birthday with a spirited performance against Aston Villa. The midfielder set up Jannik Vestergaard’s opener, and then added his second and third goals. Southampton went on to score four goals, but the Villas came back with two late goals.

Ollie Watkins

Ollie Watkins has been one of the best players for Aston Villa in the Premier League this season. However, he continues to start from the bench, which is a major source of contention for Villa supporters. In the absence of Emi Buendia, Watkins has contributed one goal and two assists for Villa.

Ollie Watkins is a 26-year-old England forward who plays for Aston Villa in the Premier League. He is a right-footed player and has a 6.4 SofaScore rating. His jersey number is 11 and he prefers to play with his right foot.

Southampton have not won a Premier League match in a row when trailing at half-time. Their last victory was on New Year’s Day, 2002. Aston Villa have lost four games in a row, a run of four Premier League games. They are currently in 15th position and are only one point ahead of Southampton. They have won two, drawn five, and lost three times this season, collecting 11 points from ten games.

James Ward-Prowse’s performance

The winger’s performance at Aston Villa v Southampton was excellent, with his scuffed effort proving to be the difference between a point for Villa and a defeat. His second goal was a fantastic curler that beat Emiliano Martinez from 25 yards out. His first goal came as a result of a free-kick from the edge of the box that left the Villa goalkeeper helpless. In the second half, Southampton were keen to regain the lead, but the Villa defense held firm and ensured the score remained low.

Ward-Prowse scored the opening goal of the season, a volley from a Moussa Djenepo cross in the 12th minute. The winger took two corner kicks, completed two accurate crosses and contributed to another goal, his 10th in all competitions this season. Overall, his game was a success and his fantasy value was extremely high. His performance is the sort of performance that would grab the attention of England manager Gareth Southgate, and he will certainly continue to impress.

Southampton leapfrogged Aston Villa to take third place in the table. They now sit three points behind Liverpool with a game in hand. Aston Villa, meanwhile, sit sixth in the table, with five points.

Southampton’s defence

Southampton are having problems attacking the Aston Villa goal. They haven’t had a shot on target yet, and the Villa defence is making it tough to play around it. They haven’t shown much creativity on the attack, either. The hosts are losing possession in poor ways and Villa are able to break away with the ball.

Southampton haven’t won in two months, and their last victory came in the Championship. After their last win, they have only won twice in the Premier League. This is their worst run in a year, and they’re a weakened side, especially on defence.

Southampton’s defence hasn’t been impressive this season, and they’ve conceded at least one goal in their last five games. However, they did come from behind to win 2-1 at Leicester and draw at Leeds. The home side also fought back to beat Chelsea and Leicester this season.

Head-to-head record

Southampton and Aston Villa have met a total of 16 times in the past several seasons. Out of these matches, three have been draws. Both teams are struggling with their home and away form. Their overall head-to-head record stands at 2-2. The two teams are evenly matched, with an average score of 3.19 goals scored in the previous match. Both teams have been able to score in BTTS 56% of the time.

Aston Villa has a better defense than Southampton. It has made 291 interceptions and recorded 38 blocks. Boubacar Kamara and Lucas Digne are two of Aston Villa’s best defensive players. Southampton’s top defensive players include Mohamed Salisu Abdul Karim and Armel Bella-Kotchap.

Southampton’s win over Villa came as a relief after their recent run of poor results. The visitors could not muster a coherent attack and only managed to score once. Stuart Armstrong headed wide from a James Ward-Prowse free-kick.

Stats

Southampton and Aston Villa have played a total of 31 competitive matches. Southampton has won 7 games, drawn 6 and lost 3 matches. Southampton has a total goal difference of +12, while Aston Villa has a goal difference of +6. Southampton is the stronger team in the league, and will probably be favourites in this fixture.

Aston Villa are in a poor form in the Premier League and Southampton is in a mixed form. Southampton have won one and drawn two of their last four away games. Southampton’s home ground stats and H2H data will give you a good idea of what to expect from the game.

The first half saw both sides struggle to create chances. The hosts had several chances to open the scoring, but were not able to. Southampton failed to get a shot on target until late in the game, when Sekou Mara’s header looped into the gloves of Emi Martinez.

Prediction

Aston Villa have been in inconsistent form of late. They have won one game in their last six league matches, and have conceded at least two goals in four of them. Southampton are also inconsistent, with two wins and one loss in their last 14 league outings. The Saints have also conceded an opening goal in five of their last six matches.

Southampton have a tough time scoring goals this season, with 80% of their goals coming in the second half of matches. Aston Villa, on the other hand, have been struggling to score goals this season, with only six goals scored in the first half. They also have a tough time converting their momentum after beating Chelsea, and have lost their last two games. Aston Villa have the higher probability of winning, despite Southampton’s recent struggles.

The home side is the favourite here, as Villa have failed to score in four of their last six league games. Southampton, meanwhile, have failed to score in just one of their last seven games. On paper, both teams are evenly matched, and a draw is a possibility.
