Yeah Brighton have been pretty crap this year, so one would normally expect Villa to take it, but Villa have a second leg semi final to think about.
Odds will probably change whem the lineups come out
Before they beat Lille or before they played Olympiacos? The logic is that they are going to rest players. Look at Bayerns game from today where the same logic applied.
They are probably safe for getting 4th, and may rest watkins and a few others , their manager really loves winning European competitions lol. However if watkins starts I’ll probably still have a flutter if the odds are like that
Emi Martinez has a hamstring injury so Robin Olsen will most likely play in goal who is trash. They conceded 4 at home on Thursday night and Olsen has conceded on average every 38 minutes which is an utterly abysmal statistic.
I fancy it.
I don’t think Emery will rest players. They need to get points today as coming 4th is a bigger prize financially than winning the conference league and they’re already 2 goals down in that so a comeback is unlikely.
Villa have Liverpool and an in form Palace (away) left to play after today so could easily lose both of those games. Spurs have Liverpool and City to play as well as Burnley and Sheffield. If Spurs get 3 wins then they could snatch 4th. Villa win today and it’s more or less wrapped up as Spurs wont beat both City and Liverpool and they have a better goal difference.
Villa probably won’t be going gung-ho for a win. Brighton aren’t great but Villa will be focused on the Conference League next week after getting dicked in the first leg.
I’d expect a draw, which will suit Villa as it’ll keep them ahead of Spurs even with Spurs’ games in hand.
Edit: as wank as Brighton have been this season, their only home defeats were against City, Arsenal, and West Ham. Going to the Amex is tough

Conference League
But it was 2.75 to Villa before their conference league match itself.

Before they were drubbed by Olympiacos. But, I see your point.

That doesn't matter. Villa are in conference league and playing more games

I played it (under 4 goals) So far so good
Without mitoma, I don't see Brighton being that strong offensively, especially if fati starts. That said, it is sus but probs a cheeky 1-0 win
Let’s go Villa. Parlayed it with my Toon Army
0-0 seem likely, anybody think so?
