Manchester City vs Aston Villa Betting Tips & Predictions

Manchester City’s bid for the Premier League title took another huge blow on Wednesday as they slumped to a 3-0 defeat at Anfield. This was their 4th defeat in their last six matches in all competitions and their 3rd consecutive Premier League defeat. They are now ten points off league leaders Leicester and level on points with 5th placed Manchester United. They do have a game in hand, but Manchester City are in real danger of dropping out of the top four.

But humbling defeats such as the one Manchester City suffered in midweek often has a fire-lighting effect, and a match against bottom of the table Aston Villa is just what they need at the moment. We’re expecting them to come out of the traps fast and put in a performance to stamp their name back in the title race.

Considering Aston Villa’s recent 6-0 defeat to Liverpool and their 3-1 defeat to Everton in midweek this could spell really bad news for the visitors. Their unthinkable resurgence looks dead in the water again, and they are still an insurmountable looking eight points adrift of the Premier League safe zone.

Manchester City hammered them 4-0 in the FA Cup just over a month ago too, with young starlet Kelechi Iheanacho bagging a hat trick to send them crashing out of the FA Cup.

This is all pointing towards a heavy defeat for the travelling Aston Villa. Manchester City’s home record this season includes five wins by a three goal margin or more, and we’re expecting them to make it six on Saturday. Odds of 2.000 for a Manchester City -2.0 Asian Handicap Win look excellent value for money, and a 3-0 correct score prediction comes in at an attractive 13/2.
