Villa Will Fancy Their Chances
Aston Villa were disappointed after being eliminated from the FA Cup midweek. That was just their third defeat at Villa Park this season, and they will be eager to bounce back in this one.
We are backing the home side to come on top on Bet9ja’s 1×2 market at odds of 2.18. Emery’s side threw away a two-goal lead at Old Trafford just after Christmas and are out for revenge here.
Manchester United have only won one of their last five away matches in the Premier League. That solitary victory came via a last-gasp goal by Kobbie Mainoo.
Erik Ten Hag has a notably poor away record against the league’s top sides and Villa certainly fall into that category this season. The Red Devils were beaten 3-1 in their most recent head-to-head with Aston Villa at this ground.
Bet 1: Aston Villa to win @ 2.18 Bet9ja
Both Sides Should inflict Damage
Manchester United are in a rich vein of scoring form of late. The decision to deploy Alejandro Garnacho on the right, coupled with the return of several key players from injury has made the Red Devils more menacing in front of goal.
While we are backing Ten Hag’s side to come up short, they should contribute in terms of the goal count. They have averaged three goals per game across their last five matches.
Villa have been averaging 2.73 goals per Premier League game at Villa Park this season and they haven’t failed to score in any of those eleven matches. With both teams capable of finding the net and the stats indicating we could see a goal fest, the next of our Aston Villa vs Manchester United predictions is over 3.5 goals.
Bet 2: Over 3.5 goals @ 2.33 Bet9ja
Emery’s Tinkering Can Make the Difference
The next of our Aston Villa vs Manchester United predictions is a longer odds bet. We are backing the visitors to take a lead into the break before faltering in the second and allowing the home side to come back. We can back this on Bet9ja’s half-time/full-time market at hefty odds of 24.00.
Manchester United have held the lead in their last five Premier League matches. The front three of Rashford, Hojlund and Garnacho have the speed to trouble Aston Villa’s high defensive line, so they could make a fast start. However, Emery is a sharp tactician and will likely make adjustments at the break.
Bet 3: Half-time/full-time result – Manchester United/Aston Villa @ 24.00 Bet9ja
Hojlund’s Form is No Coincidence
Rasmus Hojlund faced criticism in the first half of the season. The Dane was brought in from Atalanta for a huge transfer fee and had to wait a long time for his first league goal. Hojlund was able to make an impact in the group stages of the Champions League. However, United were ultimately eliminated.
In recent weeks, the striker has been making an impact in England’s top flight. He scored a wonderful goal in United’s win over West Ham. He now has four goals and two assists in his last four Premier League matches.
Hojlund boasts great pace and strength, as well as physical attributes that are likely to trouble Aston Villa’s defence as he navigates the pitch. We can back him to find the net once again at odds of 2.85 with Bet9ja.
Bet 4: Hojlund to score @ 2.85 Bet9ja
