Bet on Man City vs Aston Villa

Will Man City Secure Huge Three Points on Home Soil?

Man City are slowly but surely getting back to their usual selves, as Pep Guardiola’s boys have won four and drawn two of their last six league and cup matches. Also, last month’s defeat at Nottingham Forest is their only reverse since February.

Aston Villa are for the form team in England right now. Since a heavy 4-1 loss at Crystal Palace in February, Unai Emery’s men have won five out of five in the Premier League. Last weekend, Villa hammered Newcastle United 4-1 at Villa Park.

The top five will finish in the Champions League places this term, and only two points separate Newcastle in third from Villa in seventh. Man City sit pretty in fourth on 58 points, while the Villans are seventh on 57 points.

Both teams will fancy their chances in this one, but Man City are the favourites on home turf. A home win will take City four points clear of Villa, but an away victory will see Emery’s troops leapfrog their opponents.
