Aston Villa Form Guide
Villa’s victory at Stamford Bridge capped off an 11-match winning run, but their recent exploits have been far less convincing. Unai Emery’s men won just one of six February fixtures, beating Brighton 1-0 at this venue courtesy of a late own goal.
There were Premier League draws against Bournemouth and Leeds , alongside top-flight losses to Brentford and Wolves , as well as a 3-1 reversal versus Newcastle in the FA Cup . After becoming only the second team to lose to Wolves in the league this term when going down 2-0 at Molineux on Friday, Emery issued a rallying cry to the Villa faithful.
He said: “This is the moment I want to tell our supporters, now we need the supporters. "We need the energy, we are grateful for them being with us, but again playing in Villa Park on Wednesday, we need again their help, and we need to be together.” If the home fans are fired up from the outset, a lively atmosphere could make a price boost of 23/10 for Villa to lead at half-time a tempting option.
Chelsea Form Guide
Liam Rosenior enjoyed a nice honeymoon period after taking charge of Chelsea , winning six of his first seven games, but the Blues have since slipped back to their old, frustrating ways. They did win away to Wolves and Hull last month, while a couple of narrow losses to Arsenal are easily forgiven, but home draws against Leeds and Burnley , after leading on both occasions, could prove costly.
Poor discipline hasn’t helped, with Wesley Fofana and Pedro Neto sent off in back-to-back matches to make it seven Premier League red cards this season. “We need to speak to the coaching staff and the players because it is not acceptable. In the last two games, we have caused our own issues, and if we don’t eradicate it, it is going to cost us,” commented Rosenior .
This may be a tough test of the Blues’ resolve in that department, though, and 7/10 for them to receive more than 2.5 total cards for a fourth straight league match is added to our Aston Villa vs Chelsea betting tips. Chelsea had five players booked when these teams met at the Bridge , and this bet would have paid out on their last three visits to Villa Park in this competition.
