Aston Villa vs Sheffield United 22.12.2023 Prediction: Premier League

Match Overview

Sheffield United travel to Villa Park in Birmingham to take on Aston Villa in a match in the Premier League on Friday. The home team will welcome the opposition given that they are not expected to put up much of a challenge to them in the opening stages. Sheffield have not quite been known to travel well, and this game will test them to the hilt.

Key Highlights 

Ranked 2nd in goals scored per match (2.2 goals), it must be noted that Aston Villa have been quite clinical in front of goal. What must also be remembered is that they are ranked 1st at home this season. If this statistic was not daunting enough to worry Sheffield United, they should know that Aston Villa haven't lost in their last 9 matches.

Injury Report

Boubacar Kamara is suspended for Aston Villa whereas Tyrone Mings and Youri Tielemans have been ruled out with injuries. Sheffield United will have to make do without the services of Tom Davies, Rhian Brewster and John Egan.

Prediction

Aston Villa appear to be the favourites to win this game, and we expect them to win it quite comfortably. Sheffield United have been rather poor this season. Ranked 20th in goals scored per match (0.7 goals), they haven't scored in their last 2 away matches. The Blades also haven't won an away game in their last 8 matches. This is rather worrisome for them.
