Arsenal - Aston Villa betting tips and odds

Arsenal might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Aston Villa are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

At 4.35 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Villans are well aware of it themselves.

The Gunners ended the previous Premier League game with a draw, which didn’t work out in their favour. They seemed to have everything going their way going into that game, after all. They were the hosts, the betting odds for their victory were priced at 1.71, and they even had a small lead by half-time. Fumbling all those advantages was a big disappointment for their fans at Emirates Stadium.

Aston Villa fans are rather disappointed with their latest outing at home. An uneventful deadlock in the first half was followed by an unexpected tiebreaker from Wolverhampton Wanderers, the visitors, resulting in a narrow home defeat.

The previous 3 times we saw Arsenal play at home were marked by more than 5 goals from them. The visitors will need to be careful if they want to avoid conceding a lot of goals.

Villa and their strikers are well-regarded by experts and bookies alike – they managed to score more than 5 times in their previous 3 home games.

Arsenal fans are hoping that this match will allow them to move up closer to European places. The season is still in its early stages, so there’s a lot of room for optimism. A win against Villans would certainly be a step in the right direction.

The visitors are at a clear disadvantage in a matchup like this, so moving up from their current table position doesn’t seem likely. They’re currently sitting at spot number 13th. On the bright side, most of the season is yet to be played, so they may realize their Europa ambitions yet.

It seems quite a lot has changed in this matchup since last season. Back then, Villans managed to secure a decisive victory more than 2 goals ahead of The Gunners. However, the hosts are the favourites in this matchup despite the negative head-to-head stats.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Friday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.91, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
