Match Facts
Brighton and Hove Albion have lost their last five Premier League matches against Aston Villa by an aggregate score of 14-3. The Seagulls last suffered six defeats in a row against a side between 2019 and 2022 against Man Utd.
Having won their last five against Brighton, Aston Villa are looking to register six consecutive Premier League wins against an opponent for the first time since between 2005 and 2010 against city rivals Birmingham.
Aston Villa won 6-1 in this season’s reverse Premier League fixture against Brighton and Hove Albion – they last netted more than six against an opponent in 2020-21 vs Liverpool (8), while their most goals against an opponent in a season is 10 against Wimbledon in 1994-95.
Brighton have lost their last two Premier League games by an aggregate score of 7-0. The Seagulls last lost more in a row in the competition in March 2022 (run of 6 – the third of which was at home to Aston Villa), while they last conceded 3+ goals in three successive league matches in October 2011 as a Championship side.
Aston Villa have led by 2+ goals in each of their last four Premier League games, but have only gone on to win two of them, drawing 3-3 with Brentford and 2-2 with Chelsea last time out (2-0 v Arsenal, 3-1 v Bournemouth in the others).
Since Brighton began their maiden European campaign in this season’s UEFA Europa League in September, they have won just seven of 29 Premier League matches (D11 L11). They would be 15th in a Premier League table in this time (since September 21st); they had started this season with four wins in their opening five league matches (L1) before their first Europa League match.
Aston Villa’s 73 Premier League goals this season is their most in a top-flight campaign since 1976-77 (76). Victory here would give them 70 points, their most in a 38-game top-flight season since 1989-90 (70).
Having scored in a joint league-high 39 different Premier League games in 2023, Brighton have so far failed to find the net in more games than any other side in 2024 (8).
Ollie Watkins has scored six goals in his last four Premier League appearances against Brighton and Hove Albion, scoring a hat-trick in Aston Villa’s 6-1 win earlier this season. It’s the most goals he’s netted against an opponent in the competition.
Ollie Watkins has been involved in eight goals in his last five Premier League away games, scoring six and assisting two. His 10 Premier League away goals overall this season is the most of any English player in the competition.
