Aston Villa vs Norwich City Prediction and Betting Tips

Aston Villa will be looking to snap a five-game winless streak as they host Norwich City in the Premier League on Saturday.

Aston Villa got off to a great start to life under new manager Steven Gerrard. But the 'honeymoon' period ended far too early and the chinks in their armor seem to be giving away to gaping holes as they languish at 15th in the Premier League table. They have lost four of their last five Premier League matches.

Villa played out a largely unexciting goalless stalemate against Leicester City last weekend. Gerrard's side have struggled massively since a run of three successive wins over Brighton, Southampton and Leeds United in March. In five matches since, they've scored just two goals while shipping in nine.

They will be hoping to finish the season on a high and a game against bottom-of-the-table Norwich City couldn't have come at a better time.

Norwich City's poor form on the road will give the Villans confidence. The Canaries have picked up just one point in their last five away league games. Dean Smith's men were played out of the park by Newcastle United in their latest outing, losing 3-0 at Carrow Road.

Escaping the relegation zone now looks almost impossible and their fixture list doesn't seem too favorable either. After Villa, Norwich City will take on West Ham, Leicester City, Wolves and Tottenham Hotspur in their last four Premier League games of the season.

As such, Villa seem the most likely of teams to concede points but even then Norwich City will need to play out of their skins to eke out a positive result.
