Brighton vs Aston Villa prediction

Brighton will be looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the Premier League season when they host Aston Villa on Saturday.

The Seagulls have picked up seven points from their opening three games, while Villa have lost both of their matches so far.

Team news

• Brighton will be without the suspended Neal Maupay, while Yves Bissouma is a doubt following his involvement in Mali's Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
• Villa will be without the injured Kortney Hause, while Leon Bailey is also a doubt.

Match preview

Brighton have been one of the surprise packages of the Premier League season so far, and they will be confident of getting a result against Villa.

The Seagulls have a good record at home, and they will be looking to make it three wins from three at the Amex Stadium.

Villa, on the other hand, have had a disappointing start to the season, and they will need to improve quickly if they want to avoid a relegation battle.

The Villans have a poor record away from home, and they will be up against it against a Brighton side that is full of confidence.

Prediction

Brighton are the favorites to win this match, and they should have enough quality to see off Villa.

The Seagulls are a well-organized team, and they will be difficult to break down.

Villa will need to be at their best to get anything from this match, but they are unlikely to be able to match Brighton's intensity and quality.

Prediction: Brighton 2-0 Aston Villa
