Aston Villa vs Southampton pre-match thread

3-0 Southampton. They look much better than us at the moment. I worry about the state of our backline against them too.

A lucky 1-3

1-2 loss, boo

[taylorsworkrate]

I just can't see how we are going to score a goal in this one.

I'd be delighted with a 0-0

[Toronto Villa]

They will have lots of the ball because we will allow them to have lots of the ball. They will score more than us. We might score if we can get a shot on goal. I fear the obvious.

[Brian Taylor]

Without benteke, a draw! 1-1

[Brend'Watkins]

I wouldn't fancy us against anyone with the defence we'll be putting out. I wouldn't fancy us to score with the pitiful attack we have available.  It'll be a stroll in the park for Southampton.

1-1 Draw for me.

[David_Nab]

I can not see us not conceding given
1) Southampton's recent form and goalscoring
2)The defence we are likely to field

With that in mind best case for us is a draw...any  neutral betting on this would have this as banker away win.
