Aston Villa VS Burnley Match Prediction

When Villa were previously in the Premier League, in 2014-15, Burnley took four points off them. Last season, however, Villa did the same to Sean Dyche’s side. A 2-2 draw at Villa Park was followed by Villa’s 2-1 win at Burnley on New Year’s Day. Anwar El Ghazi and John McGinn put Villa in front twice in the home match, but first Jay Rodriguez and then Chris Wood scored equalisers. At Turf Moor, Wesley and Jack Grealish scored Villa’s goals and Wood’s late strike could not force a comeback.
