Aston Villa vs Man City betting tips and summary
Aston Villa to win or draw – strong recent form
Erling Haaland to have 2+ shots on target – incredible form + strong recent trend
Both teams to score – great H2H record
Villa Park stages one of this weekend’s marquee English Premier League fixtures, as Aston Villa host Man City on Sunday afternoon.
Unai Emery’s Villa side seems to have overcome their early-season blunders and enters this match after winning their last five games in all competitions.
Their recent 2-1 win over Tottenham was a great indicator of how excellent Emery’s side can be in both boxes, as two terrific goals from Morgan Rogers and Emiliano Buendia were enough to defeat one of the league’s most impressive outfits so far this season.
Pep Guardiola’s City side enter this fixture in imperious form, with recent indicators showing a return to the level of consistency required to challenge those at the top.
Erling Haaland was once again the decisive factor against Everton, as two early second-half goals were enough to defeat the Toffees 2-0 in the EPL. The Norway international was also on the mark against Villarreal in the Champions League in midweek.
