Aston Villa have strengthened with recent recruits in the transfer market and have started off in impressive manner in the domestic season. Villa have won five consecutive games, while Stoke have been more towards the inconsistent side of things. Nevertheless, they did put in a resolute display against Wolves to beat them in the cup tie. However, considering the run of form, and quality in the squad Aston Villa have, they will be heading into the fixture as favourites as per the AVL vs STK Today Match Prediction odds. The odds are 1.65 in favour of bet365.
