Villa backed for yet another home win
Aston Villa have already beaten Tottenham and Chelsea this season. Since their initial hammering away to Newcastle on the opening day, Unai Emery’s side have been one of the league’s most formidable opponents.
While Arsenal have dominated the recent head-to-head matchups, Villa were competitive in both matches last season. The Gunners have also had to battle to beat Brentford and Wolves.
Boasting a 100% record at home, there is value in taking Villa to win as one of our top tips for this match.
Bet 1: Aston Villa to win @ 3.40 Bet9ja
Goals expected at Villa Park
GG has landed in 10 of Villa’s 14 Premier League matches at the time of writing. The odds on GG as a standalone bet are short, so we like combining it with Villa in the double chance market.
Arsenal have failed to win two of their last three away league fixtures as of Tuesday morning. Only Liverpool have a better expected goal difference per 90 than Villa so far this season.
If you don’t fancy backing Villa in the match winner market, this is a great alternative. This season’s stats suggest GG is a safe bet.
Bet 2: Aston Villa win or draw & GG @ 2.55 Bet9ja
Watkins adds another goal
Ollie Watkins has been in sensational form, scoring in Aston Villa’s last four matches, which took place both before and after the international break. He’s already found the net against Chelsea and Tottenham this term.
Only seven Premier League players are registering more expected goals per 90 than the England international. Watkins’ pace and eye for goal make him an ideal striker to expose Arsenal’s high defensive line.
Bet 3: Ollie Watkins to score anytime
Kamara gets a booking
Just four Premier League players have more yellow cards than Boubacar Kamara this term. The Frenchman was suspended for Villa’s draw away to Bournemouth, but will have a major role to play in central midfield against this Arsenal side.
Arsenal’s opponents have been booked 36 times this season, which is slightly higher than the league’s average. Kamara will be tasked with keeping Martin Odegaard quiet – all it will take is a tactical foul or a rash challenge to earn him another booking.
Bet 4: Boubacar Kamara to be booked
