📊 Match recap and data context

Brighton dominated Aston Villa 4-0 at the American Express Stadium in a one-sided Premier League encounter. Our model backed Brighton to win at 50% probability, and the pick landed cleanly. Villa arrived in decent form with two wins from their last five matches, but Brighton's attacking display overwhelmed the visitors. The hosts had managed just one draw across their previous five games before this result. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
