Aston Villa
- Aston Villa have won 5 consecutive games in all competitions, beating Leeds (away) and Wolves (home) in their last two.
- Villa have won 5 of their 7 Premier League home games this season, conceding just 0.71 goals per-game at Villa Park.
- Aston Villa are flying in the league, currently in 4th place with 24 points from their first 13 games.
Arsenal
- Arsenal are the league leaders with 30 points from 13 games, and like Villa, they are unbeaten in their last 5 games, including a Champions League triumph over Bayern Munich. This Aston Villa vs Arsenal prediction highlights the impact of their current form.
- Arteta’s rotational policy seems to be paying off as their squad has remained fresh throughout their league and European commitments, whilst their pressing style of play continues to keep them at the top of the table.
Head-to-Head
Given that Arsenal are in the Premier League top spot, have avoided defeat in their last 3 league away games, and have won 2 of their last 3 on the road against Villa , they are more likely to find a way to win this closely fought game.
Key Players
Eberechi Eze is the Gunners’ top scorer with 4 Premier League goals this term, as Arsenal look to drive forward at pace from the second line.
Betting Insights
With odds of 1.94 for the visitors and 4.47 for the hosts, there’s little between these sides. The Aston Villa vs Arsenal betting tips suggest this could be one of the closer matchups of the weekend.
Prediction
- Arsenal have scored 1.29 goals per-game on the road in the league this season, whilst conceding just 0.71 per-game on average.
- With Arsenal’s superior recent away form, their top spot in the table, and the fact that Emery has previously frustrated Arteta’s side when disciplined and compact, we think that Arsenal are the team to side with for Saturday’s match.
