Brighton vs Aston Villa: Preview, predictions and lineups


Aston Villa travels to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Wednesday evening, as both sides compete for the qualification of the Champions League.

The couple was in the FA Cup quarter-finals at the weekend, but only Villa secured her place in the Wembley Stadium for Semis after Marcus Rashford inspired her to win over Preston North End. Unfortunately, for Brighton, they suffered a heartache from penalty shootings through Nottingham Forest.

The seagulls want to jump back when they chase a top -4 place. They are currently only two points behind fourth place in Chelsea with nine games and won four and drawn one of their last five Premier League outings.

The villans will skip their south coast with the victory at the Amex Stadium and also enter into the encounter in an impressive form. You have won your last five games in all competitions and will strive to extend this course before a collision with Forest on Saturday.

Here is 90 minutes Guide to fight.

Georginio Rutter and Adam Webster were victims of the Brighton FA Cup collision at the weekend and Fabian Hurzeler both excluded from the dispute over the collision on Wednesday. They join Igor, Ferdi Kadioglu, James Milner, Tariq Lamptey and Jason Steele in the treatment room.

Hurzeler suggested that Mats Wieffer and Solly March are options against the villa, but the Brighton boss has not commented on Joel Veltman’s progress, which has been missing since mid-February but is soon expected again.

Brighton predicted Lineup against Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Bugge; Hinshelwood, van Hecke, Dunk, Estupinan; Baleba, Gomez; Minth, gruda, witha; Pedro.

The villa cannot currently sympathize with Brighton’s injury, with Unai Emery Ross Barkley only misses due to a calf problem. The midfielder is expected to celebrate his comeback in the coming weeks.

It is not expected to make many changes from the side that Preston defeated with ease at the weekend, although Ollie Watkins and John McGinn should return to the team. Jacob Ramsey and Boubacar Kamara could be the couple who is doing well.

The Aston Villa predicted Lineup against Brighton (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne; McGinn, Tielemans; Rogers, Asensio, Rashford; Watkins.

There was nothing to separate that these two adjacent outfits in December – which was 2-2 – and the fight on Wednesday could be similar.

In both camps there will be fatigue after FA Cup games at the weekend -especially for Brighton, who played for 120 minutes against Forest -but the duo has the ability to beat someone in his day.

Brighton has a home advantage, but the villa has the deeper and fitter squad. Maybe both like to accept a point.

Prediction: Brighton 2-2 Aston Villa
