Aston Villa look to seal Champions League qualification against a Brighton side that have finished the season in disappointing fashion.
Brighton vs Aston Villa Prediction
Brighton's season is ending poorly, with the Seagulls winless in six ahead of Sunday's welcome of Aston Villa. Roberto De Zerbi has overseen back-to-back home defeats.
Aston Villa were dealt a Europa Conference League first leg blow as they crashed to a 4-2 home loss to
Olympiacos. Victory on the south coast and defeat for Spurs at Liverpool would see the Villans wrap up a top-four finish.
Villa may be tired from their midweek excursions but should have enough to defeat this out-of-form Brighton side.
Score Prediction: Brighton 1-2 Aston Villa (10/1 at bet365)
