Brighton and Aston Villa Set for Premier League Clash at American Express Community Stadium
Brighton Aim to Break Losing Streak
Brighton Hove Albion will face Aston Villa on May 5, 2024, at the American Express Community Stadium, hoping to end their five-game losing streak against the Villans. The Seagulls have not recorded a victory over Villa since February 2021 and have been on a poor run of form, losing their last four Premier League outings.
Aston Villa Seek Consecutive Wins
Aston Villa, on the other hand, will be aiming to make it six consecutive league wins. The Villans have impressed under Unai Emery, moving into the top half of the standings and earning a spot within reach of the European places. They will be confident of getting a positive result against Brighton, having dominated the recent encounters between the two sides.
Brighton's Struggles Continue
Brighton's loss to Villa in their last meeting marked the first time they had failed to register a shot on target in a Premier League match since 2016. The Seagulls have struggled to find the back of the net lately, scoring just once in their last five Premier League outings. Their defense has also been porous, conceding 14 goals in that five-game losing streak.
Villa's Champions League Hopes Alive
Victory could see Aston Villa move 10 points clear of Tottenham in the race for Champions League qualification. The Villans have been in impressive form since the turn of the year and will be full of belief that they can continue their winning run against Brighton.
