Chelsea v Aston Villa Betting Tips [1 December 2024]

After nights out in Europe, Chelsea and Aston Villa will revert their attention to Premier League duties. The Blues plays host here as the Villans look to rise from a lengthy winless run. Read on for our preview and prediction of the match.

Chelsea are targeting a sixth undefeated outing since falling to Newcastle United in the League Cup. They warmed up for that with a 2-0 away win against Heidenheim in the Conference League.

The Blues will be back at home hoping to start the new month on a high. They’ve had a patchy run at home this season, winning just two of six Premier League games there.

The past two months haven't borne the best of memories for Villa. They are coming from a run of seven straight winless matches. Since beating Bologna in mid-October, they’ve failed to add a win to their tally.

In that period, they suffered four losses, but there has been some improvement, with two draws in their latest outings. The most recent of them was in midweek as they played to a 0-0 draw with Juventus in the Champions League.

What looked like a late winner in that game, scored by Morgan Rodgers, was chalked off and Villa have all to do now.

Across their opening six league matches at home, Chelsea haven't managed a clean sheet. On the other hand, the Blues have been on a good scoring run, meaning both teams scoring remains a strong possibility coming into this match.

Aston Villa are also carrying defensive issues to this match but have some of the best attacking talents around. While they rarely fail to score in the league, Villa have just one clean sheet in their last 17 league games. In our prediction for Chelsea v Aston Villa, we will back both teams to score.
