Aston Villa Vs Liverpool Preview
Heading into Friday’s clash, the Aston Villa vs Liverpool odds favour an away win but in reality, there isn’t much separating the Champions League chasers. In fact, Villa and the Merseysiders have an identical record this season.
From 36 games played, both have 17 wins, eight draws and 11 defeats. Which is something to bear in mind when it comes to Premier League betting on BetVictor’s Aston Villa vs Liverpool betting markets.
Arne Slot’s side are only ahead of the Lions by virtue of goal difference. The Dutchman has struggled somewhat this season and a positive result on Friday is certainly needed. As for Unai Emery, securing a berth in Europe’s elite club competition in 2026-27 is imperative but there place can be achieved by winning the Europa League.

Meanwhile, Liverpool won’t be able to call upon the services of Conor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike, Giovanni Leoni and Wataru Endo. The Reds are also sweating on the fitness of Mo Salah, Ibrahima Konate, Alisson and Florian Wirtz. Record signing Alexander Isak could feature from the off.

Aston Villa and Liverpool aren’t exactly brimming with confidence right now which makes backing either for the win somewhat tricky. Villa – who are the Europa League betting favourites – have one eye on next week’s Freiburg showdown whereas the Reds have looked laboured for most of the season.
As per Harry Redknapp’s Premier League preview, we are going to sit on the fence and call a 2-2 draw.
