Aston Villa - Arsenal betting tips and odds

Aston Villa may come out on top this Saturday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Arsenal. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 3.10 for the hosts to win.

Arsenal are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

Aston Villa kept their hopes of a positive result from the previous Premier League clash alive for the full 45 minutes. A draw at halftime was off the table in the second half when a single goal prevented Villa from earning a point, however (HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY).

The Gunners faced Liverpool in the previous round as hosts. With most bookmakers online pricing a home win at 4.00, even the draw at half-time was somewhat surprising. The stalemate didn’t last, however, and Liverpool decisively won the game 0:2.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

As one of the best-placed teams in the league, Arsenal are defending a Champions League qualifying spot. They’re also still in contention for the title itself – there are still a few matches to be played before it’s decided. Despite the successful campaign, though, winning points in this game is going to take some work.

The away team are seen as favourites despite their role as the visitors, and that makes a lot of sense considering the previous clash with Aston Villa they had. Arsenal pulled far ahead of their opponents and secured a decisive victory.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

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 1.90 odds offered at Betsson.
