Ollie Watkins remains a constant goal threat for the visitors, though, and Unai Emery&#8217;s side rarely go quietly, having won three of the last five meetings between these clubs. That combination of home comfort and two sides capable of scoring freely against each other points to goals at both ends, with Brighton&#8217;s edge enough to see them over the line at 11\/4.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Georginio Rutter to score anytime, Boubacar Kamara to be booked and John McGinn over 1.5 shots<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">14\/1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Georginio Rutter arrived at Brighton for a club-record fee and has quickly become one of their most dangerous forward options, giving him a strong chance of adding to his tally against a Villa defence that will have its hands full at the Amex. Boubacar Kamara sits at the base of Villa&#8217;s midfield and regularly picks up bookings breaking up opposition play, a role he&#8217;ll need to lean on heavily here. John McGinn remains Villa&#8217;s captain and a persistent goal threat from midfield, rarely afraid to shoot from range. Combining all three markets makes this a well-stacked line at 14\/1.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button sq-ptips2-cta\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-soa-bst-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\">Back these tips with bet365 \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sq-ptips2__foot wp-block-paragraph\">18+ only.

The Amex is a tough venue and they will want a strong start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaoru Mitoma provides the spark in attack, with plenty of creativity around him. Brighton will back their quality at home, even against a Villa side that has had their number lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-aston-villa-go-into-the-game\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Aston Villa go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aston Villa finished fourth last season on 65 points, cementing their status among the division&#8217;s leading sides under Unai Emery. They travel to the Amex with genuine ambitions again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ollie Watkins leads the line and remains a consistent source of goals.
