Manchester United vs Aston Villa Premier League Bet Builder & Predictions
The Aston Villa vs Manchester United fixture on Sunday at Old Trafford offers an intriguing Bet Builder opportunity. With Aston Villa on a solid run and Manchester United suffering a blow after their midweek Europa League final loss, morale could be low. Our experts suggest a Bet Builder of Aston Villa to Win (1/2), Ollie Watkins to Score or Assist (1/3), and Over 2.5 Goals (1/1).
Aston Villa’s superb away form this season has seen them collect 1.44 points per game on the road, notably scoring 1.57 goals per match with a solid clean-sheet rate of 28%.
On the other hand, Manchester United’s poor run, especially after their Europa League defeat on Wednesday, has them struggling with consistency. They boast a mere 1.05 points per game and conceding an average of 1.46 goals per match. Their defensive frailties and a lack of momentum may allow Villa to capitalise, especially with Villa’s impressive BTTS rate of 62% and Manchester United’s struggles to find the net consistently.
Aston Villa to Win (1/2)
Research:
Aston Villa has been performing exceedingly well away from home this season, securing 44% of their wins on the road, including victories against tough teams like Southampton (3-0) and Crystal Palace (3-0).
Meanwhile, Manchester United’s 33% win rate at home is concerning. Villa’s xG of 1.48 and 58% BTTS rate points to a strong attacking side that is more than capable of breaking down Manchester United’s defence, which has conceded 1.46 goals per match this season. With Villa’s recent form and United’s lack of momentum, this bet is a strong pick.
Ollie Watkins to Score or Assist (1/3)
Research:
Ollie Watkins has been pivotal to Villa’s success, registering 16 goals and 8 assists this season. His ability to influence matches, especially in high-stakes games, is backed by his impressive stats, contributing to Villa’s 2.89 average goals per match. United’s defensive instability, as shown in their 54 goals conceded this season, will likely offer Watkins numerous chances to either score or provide an assist. With Watkins also being Villa’s top scorer and frequent creator, he remains a key figure in Villa’s attack, making this bet highly probable.
Over 2.5 Goals (1/1)
Research:
Aston Villa has seen 64% of their matches surpass the 2.5 goal mark, a trend that holds particularly true in their away games, where 72% of their matches have gone over 2.5. Similarly, Manchester United’s games average 2.59 goals per match, with 56% of their fixtures hitting the over 2.5 mark. Given both teams’ tendency to participate in high-scoring games, and their struggles to maintain clean sheets, this bet is well-supported by the statistics.
Conclusion – Aston Villa vs Manchester United Bet Builder Predictions
To summarise, here are our football betting tips for the Aston Villa vs Manchester United match:
Aston Villa to Win (1/2): Villa’s excellent away form and United’s poor home performances make this a strong choice.
