The history between Brighton and Aston Villa in the Premier League tells an interesting story, particularly when the Seagulls play host. Across their last 6 encounters at the Amex Stadium:
- Brighton has managed only one victory (a 1-0 win in May 2024).
- Aston Villa has secured three wins (3-0 in April 2025, 2-1 in November 2022, 2-0 in February 2022).
- Two matches ended in a draw (0-0 in February 2021, 1-1 in January 2020).
Notably, the most recent fixture at the Amex saw Aston Villa emerge with a dominant 3-0 victory. This historical trend suggests that Aston Villa often finds success on Brighton’s home turf. Overall, the last five Premier League meetings between these two sides have seen Aston Villa win three, one draw, and Brighton win one. The games have often been tight affairs, but Aston Villa has shown a knack for picking up results against Brighton.
Our Prediction
Considering Aston Villa’s stronger league position this season, their solid defensive record, and a historically favorable head-to-head record against Brighton at the Amex Stadium, we lean towards Unai Emery’s side avoiding defeat. The most recent clash at this venue resulted in a convincing 3-0 win for Villa, which provides a significant psychological edge. While Brighton are a capable team, Villa’s consistency and tactical setup make them a tough opponent, especially with their strong away form against this particular rival. We anticipate a closely contested match, but Aston Villa’s resilience should see them at least share the points.
