Can Aston Villa Secure Champions League Qualification Against Brighton?
As the Premier League season draws to a close, Aston Villa are on the cusp of securing Champions League qualification. A win against Brighton & Hove Albion this weekend would seal fourth place in the Premier League table, provided Tottenham Hotspur lose to Liverpool. It’s a remarkable turnaround for Unai Emery’s side, who have navigated the Europa Conference League and domestic competitions with aplomb.
Aston Villa’s European exploits have been a highlight of their season
Brighton, on the other hand, have struggled in recent weeks. Injuries have taken their toll, and the Seagulls are limping towards the finish line. Their last six games have yielded no wins, including a disappointing 3-0 defeat to south coast rivals Bournemouth last Sunday.
Brighton’s recent form has been a concern for fans
Villa have a strong record against Brighton, having completed the double over the Seagulls in the previous two seasons. A 6-1 rout at Villa Park last September will still be fresh in the minds of Brighton players, and they’ll be eager to avoid a repeat of that thrashing.
Aston Villa have been in fine form this season
