Aston Villa vs Millwall
Aston Villa will host Millwall in the 44th round of the English League Championship on Monday evening. Aston Villa are ambitious to continue their positive trend in order to ensure a finish in the promotion playoff zone.
Opportunities for Aston Villa to be able to finish in the promotion playoff zone grew bigger after successfully beating Bolton Wanderers with a score of 2-0 on Friday (19/04) last night. Aston Villa, which currently sits at number 5 with 72 points, leaving 4 weeks remaining Aston Villa only need a few more points to compete in the playoffs.
Victory over Bolton made Aston Villa win their last 9 matches at the ELC. This positive trend should not be stopped given the position of Aston Villa in the playoff zone is not entirely safe. With 4 weeks remaining, Aston Villa, who are currently 6 points ahead of Bristol City at number 7, are still very likely to be overtaken, especially Bristol itself, which still has a game that they haven’t played yet. For this reason, this positive trend must continue.
Opportunities for Aston Villa to continue their positive trend are quite open considering that at the beginning of this week they will only face the bottom team, Millwall at Villa Park. However, Aston Villa is required to remain vigilant considering Millwall also has big ambitions in this fight. Millwall will make every effort to be able to at least take home 1 point from this fight.
Millwall itself currently stands right above the relegation zone with a collection of 43 points. Millwall is only 3 points away from Rotherham United in the red zone. Millwall really need additional points so as not to be relegated from the end of this season.
