Burnley Vs Aston Villa Tips, Preview and Predictions
Aston Villa hopes to turn their season around as they travel to face Burnley on Wednesday. Dean Smith’s side will go into 2020 in the relegation zone after their 3-0 defeat to Watford, their fifth defeat in six games. Burnley is sitting on six points above them in the table. However, they are in a poor run, losing three of their last five games ahead of their match against Manchester United. Burnley haven’t been great with goal-scoring lately, they have only scored three goals in their past six games. Chris Wood managed to score one of those goals and, if Burnley wants to get back to winning ways, they need to kick off the New Year very strongly. Wood is Burnley’s best scorer in the Premier League with seven goals and is responsible for 30.4% of the Clarets’ strikes this season. As Watford showed the past Saturday, Aston Villa’s defense can be broken and Wood is Burnley’s top chance of doing so, having scored in the last meeting this season. Aston Villa offered little going forward in their 3-0 loss against Watford and Dean Smith will bring Anwar El Ghazi back into the squad this week.

Burnley vs Aston Villa Prediction
Burnley failed to get points for the second math in the running after Manchester United have breezed past them at Turf Moor last week with a 2-0 scorecard. The hosts were very far from at their top in that latter matchup and they finished the ninety minutes with just one shot on target. Aston Villa have not been managing any better in their campaign. The newly-promoted side were at the very losing end of a hefty 3-0 scoreline in their recent fixture on the road.
