In my opinion Southampton have really good chances to make at least one point in today's match up.

Southampton currently have excellent streak against Aston Villa as they lost only one of last 11 matches against them in all competitions. Southampton didn't lost in last 6 consecutive Premier League matches at Villa Park.

Both teams without any new absences so their line ups should exactly the same like in previous round.

Southampton is in much better form than Aston Villa, no doubt about that. They lost only once in last 10 Premier League matches (against Wolves on away). If You look only on the table since end of the December Southampton is on 4th place - during that period only Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool gained more points. Now they going with momentum as they didn't lost in last 7 matches in all competitions (5 wins in the process). Everything clicking together - defensive formation have good consistency at the moment, only one goal conceded in last 3 Premier League matches, on the other hand offensive formation is very dangerous as they scored more than one goal in 5 of last 6 matches in all competitions.

Since end of the December Aston Villa played 9 matches in all competitions and failed to win 7 times. They conceded 13 goals in those matches. They won only once in last 6 Premier League matches at home. In last home game they lost against Watford from relegation zone and that was deserved loss as they had lower expected goals scored number than opponents (1.75 against 1.25).

Southampton scored at least one goal in last 13 consecutive matches in all competitions and they should be able to score against unstable Aston Villa defensive formation. That should be enough to avoid loss here and extend their unbeaten run to 8 matches in all competitions. They are in much better form and they have excellent record against hosts.

在我看来，南安普敦在今天的比赛中有很好的机会至少得一分。

南安普顿目前对阿斯顿维拉有很好的连胜，他们在过去的11场比赛中只输了一场。南安普敦在维拉公园球场连续六场英超比赛中都没有输掉。

两支球队都没有新人缺阵，所以他们的阵容应该和上一轮完全一样。

南安普敦的状态比阿斯顿维拉好得多，这是毫无疑问的。他们在过去的10场英超比赛中只输了一场(客场对阵狼队)。如果你只看去年12月底以来的积分榜，南安普敦排名第四——在此期间，只有曼城、曼联和利物浦获得了更多的积分。现在他们势头强劲，因为他们在所有比赛的最后7场比赛中都没有输掉(在这个过程中他们赢了5场)。所有的一切都在一起——防守阵型现在有很好的一致性，在过去的3场英超比赛中只丢了一个球，另一方面进攻阵型是非常危险的，因为他们在过去的6场比赛中有5场进球超过一个。

自12月底以来，阿斯顿维拉在所有比赛中踢了9场比赛，有7次没有获胜。他们在这些比赛中丢了13个球。在过去的6场主场比赛中，他们只赢了一场。在上一场主场比赛中，他们输给了来自降级区的沃特福德，这是他们应得的损失，因为他们的预期进球数比对手低(1.75比1.25)。

南安普顿在过去的13场比赛中至少打进一球，他们应该能够在面对防守阵型不稳定的阿斯顿维拉时进球。这应该足以避免在这里失利，并将他们在所有比赛中的不败纪录延长到8场。他们现在的状态要好得多，而且对阵东道主的战绩也很好。
