Burnley vs Aston Villa Premier League Match

Burnley vs Aston Villa Premier League Match Preview or Key Statistics 📊

Burnley have won just one of their seven Premier League meetings with Aston Villa (D4 L2), a 1-0 away win in May 2015 when the Clarets had already been relegated.

Aston Villa are looking to record back-to-back away top-flight wins against Burnley for the first time since a run of four wins between 1895 and 1900.

Aston Villa’s last away top-flight clean sheet against Burnley was 101 years ago in January 1920 in a goalless draw, failing to record a shutout in any of their 33 subsequent visits since; the Villa goalkeeper in 1920’s 0-0 draw was Sam Hardy, capped 21 times by England.

Turf Moor has seen fewer goals scored than any other Premier League ground this season, with just 13 goals being scored in Burnley’s eight home league games this season (F5 A8). However, none of these games have finished goalless.

Burnley’s first ever Premier League victory came in their first Wednesday game in the competition, beating Manchester United 1-0 at Turf Moor in August 2009. Since then, they’ve drawn three and lost three of their six home Premier League games played on Wednesdays.

Aston Villa have lost their last two Premier League away games, more than they had in their previous nine on the road (W5 D3). The Villans have conceded four goals in these games, more than they had in their first seven on the road this term (3).

Aston Villa lost against Manchester City on Wednesday last week – they’ve not lost a top-flight match on consecutive Wednesdays since the 1991-92 campaign, when they lost on Wednesday three weeks running (vs Man Utd on 21st August, West Ham on 28th August and Crystal Palace on 4th September).

Burnley striker Chris Wood has scored in three of his four league starts against Aston Villa, with each goal coming at a different ground (Elland Road, Villa Park, Turf Moor).

No side has scored fewer home goals in the Premier League this season than Burnley (5), with Chris Wood the only player to net more than once at Turf Moor for the Clarets this term (2).

In 16 away starts, Aston Villa keeper Emiliano Martínez has kept eight clean sheets in the Premier League. Of all keepers to have started at least 10 games on the road in the competition, the Argentine has the best clean sheet ratio (50%).
