Brighton vs Aston Villa prediction

Brighton continued their excellent form with a 0-2 victory away at Nottingham Forest on Sunday, with Maxime De Cuyper and Stefanos Tzimas scoring in either half.

The Seagulls have collected ten points from the last 12 available and are flying high in the top half of the Premier League table right now.

Aston Villa edged their midlands derby with Wolves on Sunday, with Boubacar Kamara's second-half stunner enough to separate the sides at Villa Park. Unai Emery's men have now won their last five games in all competitions.

Brighton have scored in all six of their home games this season, while Villa are riding a wave right now, so both teams look capable of finding the net here.
