Aston Villa win & BTTS
Villa finished 4th (65 pts) last season and qualified for the Champions League again. Their away record was 7W 6D 6L — solid. Brighton were 8th with a strong Amex record (9W 6D 4L) but H2H has been dominated by Villa recently: 8 wins from the last 10 meetings. Morgan Rogers departing to Chelsea is a loss, but Emery's tactical quality and Villa's squad depth make them marginal favourites even at the Amex.
