Arsenal - Aston Villa betting tips and odds

Arsenal are seen as favourites to win this match against Aston Villa. The betting odds indicate an easy win and anything but a home victory here would indeed be a big surprise.

Though it may not be particularly attractive to punters, this match is at least easy to predict. Anything but a Home Win is probably wishful thinking for Aston Villa, whose victory has been priced at a hefty 7.30.

The hosts are here after a surprisingly close game against Fulham in the previous round of the Premier League. The short odds implied that they would easily secure a victory, but they only managed to pull ahead in the late game and finish with a 2:1 home win.

The away team are here after a narrow but impactful defeat at the hands of West Ham United. Aston Villa played that showdown at home and with a fairly decent shot at winning, but ended up locked in a stalemate for most of the match. They eventually conceded the deciding goal in the second half.

The home team’s attackers have been highly effective recently. Our records show more than 5 goals scored over the course of their 3 latest matches. This bodes well for their upcoming performance.

With a solid 12 to their name after 5 rounds, Arsenal are currently at the top of the standings. Although their clash with Aston Villa is not likely to change things drastically, there’s still plenty of time left in the season and they need be on top of their game.

This upcoming game will be an uphill battle for home, so they’ll probably want to use the rest of the season to climb up from their current table position at 15th. After all, we’re still only at round 5, so they’ll probably have better opportunities to earn some points.

Looking back at the head-to-head history of this matchup, it’s understandable why most bookmakers online decided to price a home win at 1.47. They soundly defeated Villa last season, and it’s reasonable to expect another triumph.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.76 odds offered at Betsson.
