Aston Villa vs Burnley Premier League predictions: tips, odds and team news
Aston Villa and Burnley will both be looking to bounce back from defeats when they meet on Saturday at 3pm (UK time).
Aston Villa vs Burnley odds
Aston Villa go into their final game of 2023 third in the table, but there will be a feeling of missed opportunities. Unai Emery’s men could have been level on points with league leaders Liverpool and even clear at the summit, had things gone as planned over the Christmas weekend. First, they dropped points at home for the first time in 15 games, having to fight from behind to draw with Sheffield United. Then they gave up a 2-0 half-time lead against Manchester United at Old Trafford, having looked so in control. As a result, the Villans are on their worst winless run of the season.
Burnley, meanwhile, will enter 2024 in the relegation zone but they will hope to be just a point or so from safety. The Clarets have picked up 11 points from their opening 19 games, with 14 defeats and just three wins. One of those victories came against Fulham last weekend, but they followed that up with a defeat to Liverpool, which leaves them five points from safety. It hasn’t been a good start to life as a Premier League manager for Vincent Kompany, with Burnley having the second-worst attack and second-worst defence.

Aston Villa vs Burnley match tip
Aston Villa to win and BTTS @ 7/4 with Sky Bet
Aston Villa may have seen their winning run at home come to an end just before Christmas, with a 1-1 draw with Sheffield United, but the Villans are still making Villa Park a fortress. Across all competitions, Villa have won 12 of their 14 games at Villa Park. However, they have only kept five clean sheets, with two of those coming in the Europa Conference League.
Aston Villa vs Burnley Bet-Builder tip
Ollie Watkins to score anytime, BTTS and over 4.5 Aston Villa shots on target
Aston Villa are one of the top teams in the Premier League for shots on target this season, average 5.26 per game so far. Ollie Watkins will be among those wishing to keep that average up. Although he is slightly out of form, the Englishman needs just one goal to equal Dwight Yorke as the Aston Villa player with the most home goals in a calendar year in the Premier League, currently on 11. But Villa have been a bit rocky defensively of late, conceding in six of their last eight home games across all competitions.
