Aston Villa - Arsenal betting tips and odds

Aston Villa are no strangers to surprises but with 4.50 on home win here, such a result would be more of a miracle rather than surprise.

The match is most likely to go in the away team’s favour, though it’s by no means a sure thing. With 1.86 betting odds to win, Arsenal have the upper hand going in, but all three possible outcomes are possible.

Aston Villa’s previous Premier League match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Manchester City . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 13.50. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 3:1 result before the end.

The Gunners faced Manchester City in the previous round as hosts. With most bookmakers online pricing a home win at 3.15, even the draw at half-time was somewhat surprising. The stalemate didn’t last, however, and Manchester City decisively won the game 1:3.

Villa have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Premier League matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

Considering they conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 home games, there’s not a lot of confidence in Arsenal and their defenses. Hopefully, they’ll somehow do better as visitors.

The Premier League season trudges on and the competition up tom heats up. The Gunners are currently occupying a Champions League spot but that won’t keep them satisfied for very long. The Gunners will be looking to join the title race and a win at Villa would definitely help in that regard.

This is the second time we’re seeing these two teams clash in this Premier League season. The Gunners won the first time, though it was a narrow victory in a home game. That said, the 4.50 odds for them winning still mean that they’re the favourites.

The risks involved in backing a BTTS bet for this match are minimal. Both Aston Villa and The Gunners have a history of confirming the market so the 1.85 odds offered at 10Bet is too good to pass up.
