Away results: Goals per game 1.50, Goals conceded per game 1.6, Points per game 1.33
Only going of stats and removing context to the game Its either a 1-1 draw or a 2-2 draw
Context:
Villa and LFC are 4 points clear of bournemouth. Bournemouth play city.
Villa and LFC are 6 clear of brighton (who have a good GD)
Villa play frieburg next wednesday. in their biggest game since the 80s (bigger than an fa cup final imo)
Logically villa should be happy to not chase this game but a draw should acheive all thier objectives to finish inthe CL places and be ready for the europa final.
If this were just a normal game I'd want to see if wirtz and salah were fit and maybe go 2-2 then but I think slot is such a arse i think he will want to draw s well as it get him to the last day with a shot at 4th.
I'll go 1-1 thinking we we concede as we are useless defensively but i'd even be tempted to go 0-1 here as we are that ****ing useless and listless and uninterested.
