City to Snatch the Points at Villa Park

Aston Villa fell to a disappointing loss at Nottingham Forest last Saturday. They were a goal up with just three minutes to play, but two late Forest strikes left them pointless at the City Ground.

Man City also shipped two late goals to lose last weekend. Guardiola’s boys were on their way to a much-needed three points against their rivals, but a Bruno Fernandes penalty and a superb Amad Diallo effort gave Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United a famous 2-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium.

The Premier League champions have now suffered eight defeats in their last 11 league and cup matches. Having taken just four points from the last 21 on offer, City have slipped down to fifth.

Before last weekend’s reverse in Nottingham, Villa had picked up consecutive wins against Brentford, Southampton, and RB Leipzig. Will Emery’s side return to winning ways on Saturday?

Recent Aston Villa vs Manchester City Head-to-Head Meetings

Aston Villa have struggled in this fixture in recent times, winning just one of the last 17. However, that victory did come when the pair last met at Villa Park a year ago.

Man City returned the favour with a thumping 4-1 victory over the Villans in April. Phil Foden scored a hat-trick after Rodri’s opener at the Etihad Stadium.

Aston Villa vs Manchester City Betting Tips & Predictions

Villa Park is a tough place to visit, but we fancy Man City to bounce back with a much-needed three points. The away win is priced at 2.08.

Foden netted a treble when the teams last met. The England international is due a goal, having not scored in the Premier League this season. You can get 3.75 for Foden to net anytime in this one.
