Match description
Aston Villa appears to be the favorite: they have a 63% win rate at home and sit 4th in the table, while Sunderland have a 25% away win rate and occupy 10th place. Over the last 5 matches overall Villa have scored 11 goals and average 2.0 points per game, whereas Sunderland have scored 4 goals and average 1.8 points. Offensively the hosts are clearly superior numerically: Villa averages 14.19 shots and 4.69 on target per home match with an average xG of 1.62, while Sunderland on the road average 8.75 shots, 3.06 on target and xG 1.08; Villa’s conversion rate is around 10% versus the visitors’ 7%. Defensively the hosts also hold the advantage — Villa concedes 0.94 goals per home game and has an xG against of 1.32, whereas Sunderland concede 1.38 goals away and have xG against of 1.88; additionally the visitors fail to score in 50% of away matches, while Villa keep a clean sheet in 38% of home games. Considering these figures, I assess the probabilities as 63% for a home win, 20% for a draw and 17% for the away side, hence the pick: 1.
