Aston Villa vs Brighton score prediction

Aston Villa and Brighton have been in direct competition for a European spot towards the end of the season and it's still a possibility for the home side, who sit seventh a point ahead of Tottenham ahead of the final day.

Bettering Spurs' result at Leeds will bag Unai Emery's side a Europa Conference League play-off round spot and there's potential for goals in Birmingham as the Villans chase that victory while the Seagulls attempt to draw them in and pounce.

The result should be a fascinating game filled with entertainment to bring a close to successful seasons for both clubs.
