Aston Villa

WWWWDW 📈

Aston Villa will be looking for another win after the 1-0 Champions League triumph vs Bayern Munich.

In that game, Aston Villa managed 30% possession and 5 shots on goal with 2 on target. The only player to score for Aston Villa was Jhon Durán (79'). For their opponents, Bayern Munich had 17 attempts on goal with 7 on target.

Aston Villa haven’t been able to stop scoring goals, finding the back of the net in each and every one of their last 6 games.

They have managed to rack up 14 during that period while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 6. That sort of pattern might not be continued into this match, of course.

Analysis of their past results shows that Aston Villa:

• have left without a victory over Manchester United in their previous 3 league matches.
• have not been beaten in their last 2 home league matches.

📋 Team News: Aston Villa

Tyrone Mings (Cruciate ligament tear), Boubacar Kamara (Knee injury) and Jaden Philogene (Knock) are unavailable for Aston Villa manager Unai Emery.

In our view, The Villans will probably opt for a 4-4-1-1 formation for this one and select Emiliano Martinez, Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Pau Torres, Lucas Digne, J. Philogene-Bidace, Ross Barkley, Youri Tielemans, Leon Bailey, Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins.

📋 Team News: Manchester United

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Tyrell Malacia (Knee injury), Daniel Gore (Shoulder injury) and Leny Yoro (Ankle injury) are not ready for selection.

We believe The Red Devils might make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Andre Onana, Noussair Mazraoui, Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans, Diogo Dalot, Kobbie Mainoo, Christian Eriksen, Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hoejlund.

✨ Prediction

We believe that Aston Villa are likely to be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

However, Manchester United could well struggle finding the net themselves although we do see them getting the chances to score, too.

We’re predicting a fairly comfortable 3-1 margin for Aston Villa at the end of the 90 minutes.
