Aston Villa have won three straight; Arsenal are unbeaten in their last five. Form gives little away going into this Premier League tie.
One thing to keep in mind about Aston Villa. They're scoring 2.2 goals per game but the quality of chances they create only works out at 1.4. Scoring that much more than the chances suggest (+0.4), that kind of hot finishing usually cools off, so their results may be flattering their actual play. The gap in chance quality is clear: Arsenal come out at +0.9 a game (chances they create minus chances they give up) compared to -0.2. that's a real edge in the quality of chances.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Aston Villa create chances worth 1.4 a game (and give up chances worth 1.5), leaving them -0.2 a game on the balance. Arsenal create 1.7 (giving up 0.8) for a balance of +0.9. On the quality of chances, Arsenal look the stronger side. they create more and give up less. Aston Villa are scoring 2.2 goals a game off chances worth just 1.4. That's +0.4 more than the chances suggest: finishing hot. History says this kind of run usually cools off.
Aston Villa average 2.2 goals per game and Arsenal manage 1.3. Combined that's just 3.6. We make it only 8% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game. Both teams scoring is unlikely here (29%). Interestingly, the chances suggest more goals than the headline number. Aston Villa and Arsenal together create chances worth 3.1 a game. The low figure might be underrating the attacking quality here.
Both teams score in 53% of Aston Villa's home games and 53% of Arsenal's away matches. both teams finding the net isn't guaranteed.
Aston Villa are all-out attack: 2.2 goals a game, but they leak 1.3 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Arsenal, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at. Arsenal prefer to keep things tight (0.6 conceded per game) and nick a goal on the break. Patience will be key for Aston Villa against this setup.
Most likely scorelines: 1-1 (12%) and 1-0 (9%).
