Aston Villa vs Man Utd prediction
Aston Villa have won just one of their last 25 Premier League home games against Manchester United.
Drawing eight but losing as many as 16 while that one victory came in Unai Emery’s first game in charge of the club back in November 2022.
Villa are on track for a great season having picked up 13 points in their opening six Premier League matches this season, it’s their best start to a season since the 2008-09 under Martin O’Neill (also 13 points).
Whereas Man United arrive to Villa Park in dire need of points and a string of decent results after a tumultuous start to the season.
Bruno Fernandes will be allowed to play against Villa despite being red carded against Tottenham last weekend and against Porto on Thursday evening.
Aston Villa vs Man Utd betting tips
Villa are also in great scoring form with both strikers Ollie Watkins and Jhon Duran proving to be extremely tough to handle for defenders.
Watkins hasnow been involved in 55 goals in just 67 league appearances under Unai Emery with 36 of them being goals.
Only Erling Haaland (65) and Mohamed Salah (60) have scored or assisted more goals in that time.
If Watkins scores against United, he will have netted in four games in a row for the first time since April 2023.
Durán has netted four goals in his last four Premier League appearances at Villa Park, all as a substitute.
As a result his goal per 90 minutes is incredible and he even averages a goal every 43 minutes at Villa Park.
The second-best ratio by a player at a single venue (250+ minutes played there), behind Luis Suárez at Carrow Road (a goal every 38 minutes).
As he’s a sub, it would be ideal to bet on Watkins to score as his replacement if he is subbed off will be Duran and due to Paddy power’s super sub, if Duran scores in replacement of Watkins, the bet will be a winner so it covers both nicely.
Watkins to score – 11/8 at Paddy Power
Over 2.5 goals, Over 4.5 cards – 1.25/1 at Paddy Power
