Aston Villa vs Norwich City - 30/04/2022
4508
We have a full round of fixtures to look forward to in the English Premier League this weekend including the meeting between Aston Villa and Norwich City.
The game will be played at Villa Park and the hosts begin the weekend in 15th place on 37 points while the visitors are bottom of the table on 21 points.
Aston Villa come into the match having previously played at Leicester City last weekend in a game that ended 0-0. While it was only a draw, it was a crucial point for Aston Villa as they were struggling in the Premier League.
Prior to the draw at Leicester City, Aston Villa lost 4 Premier League matches in succession. The defeats came at home against Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur plus away to West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Home form in the Premier League has been poor and Aston Villa have recorded just a single victory from their 7 most recent games at Villa Park. The win came over Southampton but there have been defeats to Chelsea, Watford, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur, the latter of which was a 4-0 loss.
Scoring goals has been a problem at home for Aston Villa and they have failed to find the back of the net in 3 of their last 4 home league matches. They have also kept just a single clean sheet in their last 9 home Premier League games.
Norwich City make the trip to Villa Park on the back of a disappointing 3-0 defeat at home against Newcastle United last weekend. They conceded 2 goals toward the end of the first half and another just after half-time.
That result means Norwich City have recorded just a single win in their last 12 matches in all competitions. The win came at home against Burnley in the Premier League and in terms of league fixtures, you must go back to the win at Watford at the end of January to find Norwich’s previous victory.
Away form in the Premier League shows Norwich City have failed to win any of their last 5 games and they have picked up 1 win from their last 10 on the road in the league. Trends show Norwich City have conceded 2 or more goals in 7 of their last 9 away Premier League fixtures.
Team news and Aston Villa continue without the injured quartet of Bertrand Traore, Morgan Sanson, Lucas Digne, and Kortney Hause.
Norwich City also have four players on the treatment table, with Lukas Rupp, Ozan Kabak, Adam Idah, and Andrew Omobamidele all set to miss out.
Aston Villa will see this as the perfect opportunity to pick up their first win for some time. Norwich City know they must win all their remaining games to have any chance of avoiding the drop but we expect them to lose this match.
Aston Villa should have enough to beat a struggling Norwich City at home, with both teams scoring.
