Aston Villa vs Brighton game preview, where to watch the game live stream and on TV and world time zones.

The contrast between Aston Villa’s performances at home and on the road could not be more pronounced.

Unai Emery’s side have endured a series of setbacks away from Villa Park, with five consecutive losses in the Premier League. However, their fortunes are far brighter when they play in front of their own fans, where they have been virtually unstoppable, losing just once in their last 12 outings in all competitions. With seven wins and four draws in that stretch, Villa have managed to keep themselves within touching distance of the European places, despite slipping into mid-table.

Their most recent match was a tough pill to swallow, as they were beaten 3-0 by Newcastle United on Boxing Day. Emery was visibly frustrated after the match, particularly with the decision not to overturn a red card shown to Jhon Durán. The striker’s suspension for the upcoming clash with Brighton will add to Villa’s woes, as they are now at risk of suffering back-to-back defeats in the Premier League for the first time since May 2023.

However, Villa should still be optimistic about their chances against Brighton, who have struggled in recent meetings between the two sides. The Seagulls have lost their last three away matches against Villa, with the most humiliating result being a 6-1 thrashing last season, which remains one of their heaviest ever defeats in the Premier League. This poor record on the road will do little to lift the mood in the Brighton camp ahead of their visit to the West Midlands.

In fact, Brighton arrive at Villa Park in a difficult run of form, having gone six matches without a win, which is their longest winless streak since April 2022. Their most recent outing, a 0-0 draw with Brentford on Friday, left much to be desired. The stalemate was only their second goalless draw since Fabian Hürzeler took over as manager in the summer, and he admitted that the atmosphere in the dressing room was far from positive after the game.

Brighton’s away form has been a major cause for concern as well. Since the beginning of last December, they have only managed to secure four league victories on the road, with eight draws and 10 defeats in that time. With such a poor record, it is hard to see where their confidence is coming from ahead of their trip to Villa Park.

One of the key areas to watch in this encounter will be the battle between Morgan Rogers and Brighton’s defense. Rogers has been in fine form for Villa, scoring six of his last seven goals before the break. He will likely be one of the main attacking threats for Villa, and his ability to strike early in matches could prove crucial. Brighton will look to captain Lewis Dunk to try and keep Rogers at bay, but Dunk has struggled in recent encounters with Villa. In fact, he has managed to keep just two clean sheets in his last 11 meetings with Villa, a stat that will not inspire much confidence ahead of this match.

Despite their defensive struggles, Brighton can take some solace in the fact that they have been difficult to break down away from home in terms of conceding first. They have only been the team to concede first in two of their nine away league games this season, which is one of the best records in the division. This could prove to be an important factor if Villa are to gain an early advantage in this game.

As Villa look to bounce back from their disappointing loss to Newcastle, they will need to remain focused and capitalize on their strong home form. With Brighton struggling on the road, this presents an opportunity for Villa to secure an important three points as they continue their pursuit of European qualification. However, with Brighton fighting to find their rhythm and Villa dealing with injury concerns, this match promises to be a closely contested affair.

The clash between these two teams at Villa Park is shaping up to be an intriguing encounter. Villa will want to make the most of their home advantage and continue their impressive run, while Brighton will be desperate to snap their winless streak and put their recent struggles behind them. With so much at stake, this promises to be a match full of intensity, drama, and perhaps a few surprises along the way.
