Chelsea presents better offensive form with 49 goals in the season and an average of 1.86 goals per away match, while Aston Villa has scored only 38 goals with an average of 1.43 goals in home matches. The form of the last five meetings clearly favors the visitors – Chelsea gained 1.6 points per match with a 2-2-1 record, whereas the hosts earned only 1.0 point with just one victory. Aston Villa is in a crisis, evidenced by a series of two draws and two defeats in their last four home matches. Chelsea has higher shot accuracy (15% vs 10%) and finishes matches without scoring a goal less frequently (7% vs 29%). Possession also speaks in favor of the visitors (57% vs 55%), and their standing in xG (1.47 vs 1.61 for the hosts) suggests balanced quality of created chances, but better finishing efficiency on Chelsea's side. Considering all these factors, a victory for the visitors seems the most likely scenario.
