Aston Villa review
Aston Villa have shown an impressive performance during the pre-season, earning a draw in two of their matches against Newcastle United and Brentford, both ending in a 3-3 draw. They also recorded a 2-0 victory against Fulham. The team’s new addition, French forward Moussa Diaby, has proven to be a valuable asset, scoring his second goal in two friendly appearances. Matty Cash and Ezri Konsa, both of whom are defenders, have also made their marks by scoring goals during this pre-season. Under the guidance of head coach Unai Emery, who joined the team midway through the previous season, Aston Villa’s performance has improved remarkably. Their surge up the standings led them to finish seventh in the 2022-23 season, earning them a place in the Europa Conference League playoff. The team is eager to know their draw for the upcoming European return.
Aston Villa possible starting lineup:
Martinez; Konsa, Carlos, Torres, Digne; Luiz, Tielemans; Buendia, McGinn, Diaby; Watkins
Lazio review
Lazio have secured their return to the Champions League this autumn, three years after their last appearance in the tournament. They achieved this after finishing fourth in Serie A last term. In their final fixture of the 2022-23 season, they beat Empoli to secure second place in the standings. Their total of 74 points put them above Milan, Roma, and Champions League finalists Inter.
Lazio possible starting lineup:
Provedel; Lazzari, Casale, Romagnoli, Marusic; Vecino, Cataldi, Alberto; Anderson, Immobile, Zaccagni
Aston Villa VS Lazio H2H
Aston Villa have never played an official game against Lazio and will need to adapt to a new opponent going into the match this week. Aston Villa have conceded at least one goal in each of their last six matches in the Premier League, with their previous clean sheet coming in a 3-0 victory against Newcastle United. Aston Villa have been unbeaten in all four of their matches on their pre-season tour but have been held to a draw in three of these four games. Lazio conceded only 30 goals in their 38 matches in the Serie A last season - only Napoli had a better defensive record over the course of the competition. Aston Villa have been a prolific force on their pre-season tour so far and have scored an impressive total of nine goals in their four such games this summer.
Aston Villa VS Lazio Prediction
Lazio have grown into a formidable force under Maurizio Sarri and will look to end their pre-season tour on a positive note. Pedro and Felipe Anderson have been in excellent form over the past month and will look to add to their goal tallies in this match.
Aston Villa have also made a considerable amount of progress since the turn of the year and have excellent players in their ranks. Lazio are a seasoned European force, however, and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Aston Villa 1-3 Lazio
