Southampton vs Aston Villa Prediction (12.04.2025)

Relegation has already been confirmed for Southampton. The first team in the Premier League to be clear at such an early stage that they are relegated. Thus, the winter arrival coach Ivan Juric was expectedly dismissed. In the last 14 rounds, Southampton has 12 losses and even Juric failed to stop the decline. Nevertheless, in their last home game they almost beat Crystal Palace, but conceded a late goal for the final 1:1.

Aston Villa has been demonstrating excellent form lately. They have achieved seven consecutive victories in all competitions, but on Wednesday the team was stopped by PSG and lost 1:3 in Paris. A tough rematch awaits Villa next week. However, the team continues to fight for a Champions League spot and was two points away from it before this round.

If it weren't for the matches against PSG in between, I would easily choose a victory for Aston Villa here. In this case, however, I think the guests may not put maximum effort into the match against Southampton. The hosts have already been relegated and can play somewhat without pressure and potentially part ways decently with the Premier League, and we will see if the coaching change will have a positive impact this time.
