Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Aston Villa
Match Time & Date:
21/12/2019
10:00 AM
Prediction: 1-1
Southampton
After suffering a 2-0 loss at Sheffield United, their third consecutive in the Premier League, Aston Villa will be looking to get back on course when they host Southampton in the relegation six-pointer on Matchday 18. The Villans are level on points with the Saints ahead of Saturday’s showdown, meaning that a close encounter is on the cards.
Despite failing to convert a penalty in the 2-0 loss at Sheffield United, a man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Jack Grealish, who has netted four goals in the English top flight so far this term. Southampton, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back defeats to the likes of Newcastle United and West Ham United. The Saints are eager to escape the relegation zone in the Premier League standings, but we are tempted to put our money on draw as Aston Villa are tough to beat at home.

Highlighted Player (Mahmoud Hassan):
Mahmoud Hassan is a product of Al Ahly’s youth school. The midfielder, who was born in Kafr el-Sheikh on 1 October, 1994, scored seven goals in 58 league appearances for Al Ahly between 2012 and 2016 and he spent the 2015/2016 season on loan at Anderlecht.
The club chiefs decided to sign a permanent deal with the Egyptian footballer and it has to be noted that he made his official debut for the Belgian giants on 27 December against Westerlo.
The Anderlecht midfielder, who is commonly known as “Trezeguet”, won the CAF Champions League trophy with Al Ahly on two occasions (2012, 2013) and he clinched the Afirca U20 Cup of Nations in 2013 with Egypt. “Trezeguet” has 19 caps for Egypt U20 team and he made his debut for the first team on 30 August, 2014 in a 1-0 win over Kenya. He started the game, but he was substituted by Ahmed Fathy 20 minutes before the end. Mahmoud Hassan has a contract with Anderlecht which expires on 30 June, 2019.
Highlighted Team (Southampton):
Southampton are an English football club that have been playing their home games at St Mary's Stadium since 2001. The Saints were based at The Dell in the past and the capacity of Southampton’s new stadium is 32,505. Southampton wear red and white striped shirts and the colour of the team’s away kit is navy and green.
The Saints have yet to win the Premier League trophy, but they did well to clinch the FA Cup title back in 1976, while participating in the final of the prestigious competition in 1900, 1902 and 2003. Southampton outplayed Manchester United in the 1976 FA Cup final and that is probably the club’s greatest victory ever.
The club are well known for their football academy and Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale is one of the players who began their football carrier at the St. Mary’s Stadium outfit. Southampton’s fiercest rivals are Portsmouth and the two teams square off against each other in the South Coast Derby.
