Let's look at the meetings of the game day in order. "Arsenal U21" will host "Aston Villa U21" at its home stadium.
The hosts sit 6th in the English Premier League U21 standings after 17 played matches, having amassed 32 points in the process: victories - 9, draws - 5, defeats - 3. Their goal tally stands at 40, with the club conceding 26. The club has a positive goal statistic, but in the last tour, the team drew. The team's results in the last 5 matches of the championship: victories - 2, draws - 2, defeats - 1.
The visitors stand 19th in the Premier League U21 table after 16 matches, with 19 points to their name: victories - 5, draws - 4, defeats - 7. Their goal tally stands at 33, but they've conceded 38. The club has a negative goal difference. In the last tour, they were beaten, and their form in the last five games is as follows: victories - 1, draws - 2, defeats - 2.
The face-offs over the last five meetings read as follows for the home win-draw-away win format: 2-0-3.
The hosts surprisingly failed to best a markedly weaker team in the previous round. The "Gunners" are irked by their own performance and will seek to make amends in the upcoming match. The visitors suffered a crushing defeat in the previous round without scoring. The team is also eager to make amends in this meeting. Both teams have conceded too many goals in their previous matches; thus, after rectifying their mistakes, they will aim to play tighter defensively in this game. I am tipping under on total goals.
