Aston Villa at Burnley 1/1/20 - Premier League Picks & Predictions

Two teams in the bottom half of the Premier League standings will clash against one another on New Year’s, when Burnley will play host to Aston Villa. Both teams are coming off losses over the weekend and have struggled with stability lately, so they will both fight for the three points here.

Aston Villa (5-12-3) met a really frustrating 0-3 loss on the road against Watford. They were down by one goal when their opponents were left with 10 men, but they went on to concede two more goals in the second half that resulted to a tough loss. They have now lost five of their last six league matches. Aston Villa are still at the 18th spot of the league table with 18 points, one below the red line. And they have the worst away record in the league (1-8-1), losing five of their last six.

Burnley (7-10-3) were not very good in their home match against Manchester United, where they conceded once at the end of each half to lose by 2-0. They have been really struggling to get results lately, having lost five of their last seven matches (2-5-0). Burnley are now sitting at the 13th spot of the league table with 24 points, six ahead of Aston Villa. They have been hit-or-miss at home so far (5-5-0), keeping clean sheets in all their wins.
