Manchester United vs Aston Villa Betting Tips & Predictions

Manchester United booked their place in the FA Cup Semi Final on Wednesday evening as they produced a fine display to beat West Ham 2-1 in the last ever cup fixture at Upton Park.

The 2-1 scoreline might not look like much, but the quality of the visitors performance was reminiscent of past successes, and the individual performances of players like Marcus Rashford, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, and Jesse Lingard will be a real boost to the team.

This will have relieved some of the tension after their dismal 3-0 defeat to Spurs at the weekend, and they have now won three of their last four outings in all competitions and only lost one of their last six.

Their weekend defeat did dampen their challenge for the top four a bit though. They are now four points behind Manchester City and sitting in 5th position, and they will just have to hope their neighbours slip up while they concentrate on their Champions League campaign.

Aston Villa are all but relegated after a shocking season. Their performances have been so bad that the club have scrapped their Player of the Year award, and a failure to win on Saturday would confirm their relegation from the Premier League.

I can’t see anything other than a defeat for Aston Villa. They have lost eight matches on the bounce in the Premier League, and with five of these eight defeats being by more than a single goal I think odds of 13/20 for a Manchester United -1 Handicap Win offer some value. I’m going for a 3-0 correct score prediction at 11/2 as well.
