Boubacar Kamara stats underwhelming in Aston Villa v Everton
Aston Villa midfielder Boubacar Kamara has been underwhelming in the first half against Everton at Goodison Park on 14 January.
The France international, despite being a regular under Unai Emery, has let his side down and the Spaniard will surely be expecting more.
According to Sofascore, he’s won just 20 per cent of his ground duels, losing out in four of his five attempts for the Villans.
He’s also failed with 100 per cent his dribble attempts, leaving the visitors in a precarious position as things like this can change in a heartbeat.
Kamara’s also lost possession on four occasions which is something that Emery will surely be pointing out at the break.
It’s important that Emery needs to take care of this issue as Villa need to secure a win as they’re currently in second place in the Premier League table and a win would enable them to close the gap with the league leaders, maintaining their strong position in the title race.
Additionally, Emery’s have been in impressive form, winning their last two consecutive matches across all competitions and remaining unbeaten in five of their last six Premier League games.
Moreover, historical statistics favour Aston Villa in this matchup, as they have won their last three away matches against Everton in all competitions and five of their last six encounters overall.
The absence of players such as Dele Alli, Ashley Young, and Dwight McNeil due to injuries for Everton further enhances Villa’s chances.
Ollie Watkins, with his outstanding record of 12 goals and 8 assists in all competitions, emerges as a crucial player to watch, capable of causing significant problems for the Everton defence and he’s got to do better as well.
Considering Everton’s recent struggles with three consecutive defeats, Aston Villa are poised to capitalise on their vulnerabilities and secure a vital away win, strengthening their position in the league and continuing their positive momentum.
