Southampton welcome Aston Villa to St. Mary’s for this Premier League clash. The Saints have got out of their poor run of form which saw them go nine straight league games without a win, They’ve taken seven points from three matches since then with wins over Leeds and Watford.

The Saints have a good record against their opponents and are doing well to keep the goals out. They’ve secured two clean sheets in their last three matches. Only the top three sides in the division – Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea have kept more clean sheets than Southampton this campaign.

It makes for a formidable task for Dean Smith’s men. Aston Villa are going through a dire run that has seen them lose four straight matches. The 4-1 defeat to West Ham last week ensure their worst run of form under Dean Smith in the Premier League.

They’ve conceded 12 goals in those four matches which is a lot for a side that kept 15 clean sheets in the Premier League last season. But they’ll take hope from their ability at the other end. Villa may have lost four of their last six matches but they found the net in each of them. Now is the time to turn things around.

That’s why I’m backing Aston Villa to get a result in this match, as discussed on the Southampton vs Aston Villa tips page. But there are other ways to bet on this clash. Below we look at a potential PickYourPunt with Betfred for this one.
