Brighton lost to Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup quarterfinals following a penalty shootout. After a goalless tie in the regular part of the match, the guests were more focused during the penalties, winning 3-4.
This was the first game following 7 consecutive in which Brighton didn’t lose, winning six during that stretch. Also, seven of the Seagulls’ last nine games have seen over 2.5 goals.

Aston Villa is on the rise, winning the past 4 contests. In three fo them the Villains haven’t conceded, indicating that Unai Emery might count on his defense yet again.
Villa has only 5 wins in 14 road games, scoring 16 and allowing 27 goals away from home. This reflects their struggles away from Villa Park.
Brighton vs. Aston Villa Head to Head
The first clash of the season between Brighton and Aston Villa ended without winners, 2-2. Adingra and Lamptey scored for the Seagulls, while Ollie Watkins and Rogers hit the back of the net for the Villains.
Brighton vs. Aston Villa Predictions
Aston Villa stabilized the defense, but even so, we don’t think this game won’t see high efficiency. The stakes are high, and Brighton did suffer a blow in the FA Cup, but Fabian Hurzeler’s boys have to go out and outplay the rivals who aren’t very confident on the road. This approach should bring goals, and our pick is over 2.5 goals.
