Manchester United vs Aston Villa: Predictions and Betting Tips

Manchester United

After a nail-biting 2-1 win over West Ham, United are looking to extend their winning home record of two wins in two games, having scored nine goals and conceded two goals.

The Red Devils are finally back to a competitive level; after the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson, United’s fate looked very bleak, but, for the first time in many years, their fans are daring to dream again of achieving great things.

United have not lost to Aston Villa in an official match since 2009 (18 matches in a row).

Aston Villa

Following the departure of Jack Grealish, Aston Villa brought in a number of mid-quality players through the transfer window, the intention being that the team would not rely solely on one world-class player, as Grealish was, but be a better overall team.

The season has started with two wins, a draw, and two losses for Villa. The two defeats were away.

Key Stats:

• Three wins, one draw, and one defeat for United in their last five games
• Three consecutive games conceding at least one goal for United
• Three wins, one draw, and one defeat for Villa in their last five games
• Villa have scored 12 goals in their last five games

Manchester United vs Aston Villa Predictions 

At the moment, it is hard to envisage any other outcome but a United win, especially given the match is to be played at Old Trafford. Aston Villa are still adapting to a new way of playing, and still need games to adjust, while United are a well-established team with the added bonus of the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo.
