Use bet365’s bonus code to get £30 in free bets ahead of Aston Villa vs Chelsea

Mar 4, 2026 - 12:00

Aston Villa welcome Chelsea to Villa Park on Wednesday evening looking to strengthen their grip on a Champions League spot. Unai Emery’s side sit fourth, level on 51 points with Manchester United in third, but behind on goal difference.

Chelsea arrive in sixth with 45 points from 27 games, just six points adrift of their hosts with a game in hand. Liam Rosenior’s men have managed just one win in their last five league outings after draws with Leeds and Burnley followed by a narrow 2-1 defeat to Arsenal.

Villa won the reverse fixture 2-1 at Stamford Bridge back in December, with Ollie Watkins scoring twice off the bench. They also lead the Premier League in goals from outside the box this season with 13, a threat Rosenior has specifically warned his players about.

In a fixture with huge Champions League implications, new customers can grab even more value this midweek with bet365, picking up £30 in free bets on sign up with code TSPORT after placing a qualifying bet.

Villa’s home strength meets Chelsea’s need for points

Villa are without Boubacar Kamara for the season, while Youri Tielemans remains out until late March with an ankle injury. John McGinn is also sidelined until mid-April with a knee problem, a significant blow both in terms of leadership and creativity.

Chelsea welcome Wesley Fofana back from suspension but will miss Pedro Neto after his red card against Arsenal. Cole Palmer is confirmed available despite a knock, with Liam Rosenior stating he’s “absolutely fine to start”. Marc Cucurella is nearing a return, while Estevao and Jamie Gittens continue their recovery.

Aston Villa to Win
Both Teams to Score

Villa average 2.07 points per game at home this season compared to Chelsea’s 1.69 on the road. The hosts have scored in eight of their last ten at Villa Park, while Chelsea have found the net in nine of their last ten away, but they’ve also kept just one clean sheet in seven on the road.

With both sides desperate for points and defensive absences on both sides, backing the hosts to edge it while both teams score offers solid value.
